The Nasir al-Mulk Masjid or Pink Masjid is a traditional masjid in Shiraz,
Iran. When someone brings up historical architecture, we picture beautiful
arches, towering spires, sculptures and stone walls, but most of us probably
don’t think of bright and vibrant colors. Nasir al-Molk Masjid, as illustrated
by these photographs, is a striking and strong exception to the idea that
historical structures might have been somewhat lacking in colors. Not only are
its stained-glass windows richly colored, but its walls feature a beautiful and
vibrantly colorful array of painted geometric tiles.

Accordion-Like Pillow Has a Fully Customizable Size Range
The Soufflet Pillow from Bina Baitel Design Studio
is the perfect way to make sure you’re comfortable no matter where you
are. Looking somewhat like a fireplace bellows, the pillow is inflatable
and operated with a remote control. With a touch of a button, the
pillow inflates or deflates to the user’s exact needs.

Extendable Wood Dining Room Table Set … With a Twist
Most modern expanding dining tables require the addition of new
pieces or a complex series of actions to transform them from a small
four-person table to a full dinner-length design. This simplified
version is more interactive, functional and engaging than most of its
more cumbersome cousins.
The act of pulling on either end of the table is all it takes to flip up the extra leaves in the middle. In its extended form, the resulting configuration also contains central area that is highlighted in white to offset it from the surrounding wood, creating a kind of centerpiece for more formal occasions.
A series of aesthetically similar chairs comes as part of this extendable dining table set – with useful hangar spaces for coats and hats along their back as well as an implicit built-in visual reference to the intermediate point in the converting action at the heart of this design by Iohanna Pani.
