  • Sand Senses Cupboard in Wood by Hillsideout
    By Rossana Orlandi, Hillsideout
    Located in Milan, IT
    The Sand Senses cupboard features materials made with sand and surface that stimulate senses when touched. Sand seems to have no limit. Burnt sand makes the Murano glass transparent. Concrete incorporates more than one type of sand - one comes from the river and the other one has been transformed through a chemical process. Wood is sandblasted and treated with oil-wax to obtain the smoothest surface possible. Geometric shapes can be found in the concrete legs, in the cupboard doors, as well as on the top enriched with openings in colored Murano glass. With its four colorful doors, two drawers and several shelves, this piece turns out to be a very aesthetically pleasing and practical cupboard; representing the perfect solution for both storing and showcase use...

    By Hillsideout, Rossana Orlandi
    Located in Milan, IT
    Alexandre de Fisterra - known as the inventor of the foosball table - was 17 years old (probably the same age as the boys playing in the mountains) when he was severely wounded in one of the bombings of Madrid during the Spanish Civil War.

In Montserrat, he met numerous mutilated children, especially those injured and disabled in the lower limbs. "None of them", Alejandro Finisterre thought, "could play football anymore". At that point he had a brilliant intuition: starting from the table tennis, he invented the futboli´n, the modern football...
