Allermuir designs flat-pack dining furniture Folk

Dezeen promotion: furniture brand Allermuir and London design studio PearsonLloyd have partnered to design customisable flatpack dining furniture for use in commercial, residential and hospitality environments.

Folk is a collection of dining chairs and tables designed to be "modest, but timeless".

Folk dining collection by Allermuir and PearsonLloyd comprises chairs and tables for the commercial and residential settings

"Folk has matured into something much more versatile than bistro furniture," Allermuir said. "It's a truly modest, but timeless family of tables, chairs and stools.

"Stripped back with softness and sturdiness, its earthy simplicity is suitable for a diverse range of applications in both home and hospitality environments."

Folk ables are available in a range of shapes, including square and round, as well as rectangular for use in larger settings

The flatpack sets allow for easy storage, assembly and transport. Small bolts and pre-attached screws fit onto one another to create a "seamless and glueless" design.

"Seamless and glueless, Folk has no visible fixings," Allermuir added. "Its flatpack nature means it can be stored in volume, assembled anywhere in minutes and is always ready to be shipped."

Folk chairs and stools have rounded legs and feature a curved back bar for added comfort

Each of the tables is available in a range of sizes and shapes, including square and circular for intimate dining settings and rectangular for use in larger rooms. The designs feature slender, rounded legs capped underneath the tabletop with corner knuckles.

Similar to the tables, Folk chairs and stools have circular legs, a thin frame and concealed joints.

The legs, posts or entire body of the tables and chairs can be coated with one of six colour options, including shades of green, a deep red or black

All of the pieces are customisable with the option to select one of six powder coat paints named Off Black, White, Crayon Grey, Pistachio, Seattle Green and Aubergine. The colours can be added to either the legs, chair posts, tabletop or used to cover the entire piece.

In addition to the range of hues, the furnishings are available in a number of finishes, including wood, plastic and metal, that will patina over time adding to the pieces' timeless nature.

The flat-pack furniture is easy to assemble and comes with bolts and pre-attached screws that fasten to one another

Allermuir is a furniture brand that designs for offices, homes and public spaces.

It has showrooms in London, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Bangalore, Hong Kong, Singapore and Birmingham, as well as manufacturing plants in Lancashire, England and Maumee, Ohio.

Pauzarq Arquitectos makes the most of views from hillside Santiagomendi House

The gabled forms of Santiagomendi House by Pauzarq Arquitectos are set into a hillside overlooking the Cantabrian Sea in Astigarraga, Spain.

The Spanish architecture studio designed the home to suit its sloping site and make the most of its coastal views.

Set over two floors, Santiagomendi House is comprised of two overlapping volumes, one single storey and one with a second floor.

A sweeping driveway leads down to a front porch sheltered by the overhanging gabled roof of the tallest volume. A concrete-lined garage has been cut into the hillside.

Timber beams support the building's gabled roofs, which are clad in traditional ruddy-coloured ceramic tiles.

"The use of inclined roofs with great eaves emphasises the adaptation to the surrounding while the house is protected from the northeast storms," said Pauzarq Architectos.

Part of the roof over the entryway has been left uncovered, with the shape of the roof continued by a wooden pergola.

Spread across both volumes, the ground floor is divided by what Pauzarq Arquitectos designated as day zones and night zones.

The day zone mainly occupies the shorter, single-level volume, which is rotated to make the most of the scenic views.

An open-plan living and dining area abut a kitchen that sits in a corner of the larger volume of the house. Large picture windows frame views of the landscape beyond.

The roof of this volume overhangs too, sheltering a terrace that runs along the front and projecting at the gable end to create an outdoor room with a roof but no sides.

One corner is glazed and features sliding glass doors, and skylights in the roof allow daylight in from yet another angle.

The main bedroom and bathroom are also on this level,  with glass doors that open on to a sheltered patio that occupies the triangular space where the two volumes meet.

Upstairs there is another bedroom and bathroom, and a long playroom with a half wall so it overlooks the space below.

Pauzarq Arquitectos used a minimal palette of materials throughout. The exterior walls are a combination of white plaster and raw concrete, accented by pale timber panelling.

The white walls are decorated in places by pale ceramic rectangular tiles arranged in bands between wood-framed windows. These pinkish-coloured tiles have also been used for the outdoor patio spaces.

Pauzarq Arquitectos was founded in 2010 by Felipe Aurtenetxe and Elena Usabiaga and is based in San Sebastián.

Previous projects from the studio include an apartment renovation in Bilbao and a shop with house-shaped archways.
