Corella, Barcelona, Spain

In an attempt to restore the public's trust in an industry tainted by several recent scandals, the family-owned Spanish butcher Corella has opened a butcher shop where quality, process transparency and the use of traditional meat preparation techniques are highlighted through design. Spanish design firm Sandra Tarruella Interioristas have designed the space that interconnects a butcher shop, a working kitchen and two food tasting bars in a former storefront in Sant Cugat del Vallès, just north of Barcelona. A meat-inspired red colour is the common thread, repeated in packaging, around the façade's wood framed windows and for the fluorescent lamps suspended over the counters.

End...Link Beauty Salon, Osaka, Japan

Salons are popping up across Japan faster than you can say Konnichiwa. And the design community is as key to their inception as the grooming world. Osaka's newest beauty atelier, End...Link, showcases a minimalist architectural aesthetic with intriguing functional features. Owner Tomohiko Masuda wanted to create a space that could be modified to suit his staff's needs and enlisted the expertise of Japanese designers Yasunari Tsukada to do so. The designers chose to work with light wood and white for the interior to keep the narrow space feeling airy and uncluttered. The three-dimensional wooden lattice walls are a functional accomplishment, with glass panel inserts that can be rearrange to alter the layout of the shelves.

Edward Durrell Stone: Modernism's Populist Architect
By Mary Hunting

Perhaps the best-known building by maverick modernist Edward Durrell Stone is 2 Columbus Circle, a monolithic marble-clad slab that loomed over the eponymous New York junction and was loved and hated in equal measures before its comprehensive reconstruction by Allied Words Architects in 2008. Stone's idiosyncratic modernism is finally coming back in vogue, with the structures he designed for corporations, cultural institutions and government departments displaying a fusion of strict rigour and quirky detailing, marking him out as an individual talent in an era of strict architectural uniformity.

Ikea Skarpsill by Stockholm Design Lab

In 2006, Swedish furniture manufacturer Ikea launched a line of products without the usual sheet of assembly instructions. Today, the Ikea Food range, sold at the Swedish Food Market section in the warehouse, consists of just over 150 different items of food and beverage. The smart new packaging for skarpsill, an aluminium and white tin of lightly seasoned anchovy herring, perfectly visualises the company's core values of honesty, affordability and innovation in an utmost Scandinavian way. Art Director Nina Granath of Stockholm Design Lab says that the household staple, often used in traditional holiday dishes such as 'Jansson's temptation', was in need of 'a little twinkle in the eye'.

Santalum Cedrus candle by Saturdays and Baxter of California

After pooling together their efforts on a pair of collaborative soaps last year, Manhattan's surf mecca Saturdays has joined forces once again with men's grooming staple Baxter of California to create one good-looking soy candle. Comprising cedar, sandalwood, amber and vetiver, the fragrance perfectly evokes a post-surf walk through the woods that would suit those who aren't lucky enough to get the real thing.

A Table, by Sebastian Bergne, London, UK

For 20 years Sebastian Bergne has been quietly designing kitchenware for Tefal, Muji, Swarovski, even Heston Blumenthal. His simple products have been exhibited before, most notably by London’s Design Museum and the MoMA in New York and nearly always behind glass. Bergne’s latest exhibition, ‘A Table’ at London’s Great Western Studios, promises to be different. His new and unseen glassware will accompany some 15 years of work – on a vast tabletop, where it belongs. By day, the designs will form an eye-catching display. But at night, a series of lively, wine-fuelled dinners will take place, where the tableware can be fully appreciated. Book your place now

‘A Table’ runs from 23 February through 8 March at Great Western Studios, 65 Alfred Road, London W2 5EU; http://www.greatwesternstudios.com/
