Last month in Japan was simply incredible. 🇯🇵
Exploring local crafts, resources, and know-how, we experienced a glimpse of beautiful Kyushu. From soyu, washi paper, ceramics, and carpentry to nori and glasswork, we explored bioregional craftsmanship. Vast landscapes—between volcanoes and the Pacific—revealed rituals and traditions deeply rooted in bathing culture. We were left speechless.
We’re thrilled to share images from the process and the exhibition we produced together with @saga_collective , @studio_the_future, @qrqi@masatomo.y @kengo_kabashima, @legnatec_inc , @naotesukiwashi , @gen_taniguchi_ , .
Working with wooden leftovers—logs, training beams, hinoki, and Japanese cedar—this furniture series explores variations of half-cut logs, slices, and beams. It investigates their shapes, plasticity, and how elements connect through simple inserts. Designed for dry assembly, the pieces reflect gestures of transformation, playing with stacking, balance, and a sense of weight. These raw compositions unfold into side tables, chairs, and benches.
The start of beautiful collaborations, with more to come in the coming months.
The exhibition was presented alongside the work of the talented @wesmapesstudio , rooted in local materials. We were also joined by curator @annelauresees , whose input was invaluable.
Thanks to the support of @stimuleringsfonds , and Saga Prefecture.
In the coming months, we will continue developing these prototypes while also focusing on ceramic tableware, and further reflections on benches, chairs, and side tables.

Réemployer un matériau, c’est hériter de son histoire. Mais à qui appartiennent réellement les matériaux qui nous entourent ? À celles et ceux qui les ont extraits, qui les ont transformés, qui les ont utilisés ou qui les récupèrent aujourd’hui ? C’est précisément cette question matérielle, historique et culturelle qu’ont abordée Estelle Barriol et Fanny Bordes, les deux architectes de @studioacte, basé entre les Pays-Bas et la France.
Retrouvez mon entretien avec @estelle_barriol et Fanny Bordes de @studioacte d’ores et déjà en ligne sur @aoc.media (lien en story).
Merci à @sylvain.bourmeau pour sa confiance

Green House (2023) by @studioacte is located in Oisterwijk, Netherlands, and operates as a compact timber dwelling integrated into its wooded setting.
The structure emphasizes material restraint and environmental continuity. Timber surfaces define both exterior and interior, allowing the building to age naturally within its landscape context. Openings are positioned to frame views while maintaining privacy, and the plan remains compact to reduce material use and thermal loss.
Rather than presenting itself as an object in nature, the house aligns with its surroundings through scale, proportion, and material choice. The project demonstrates how small-scale architecture can prioritize durability, clarity, and connection to site over visual excess.

The structure emphasizes material restraint and environmental continuity. Timber surfaces define both exterior and interior, allowing the building to age naturally within its landscape context. Openings are positioned to frame views while maintaining privacy, and the plan remains compact to reduce material use and thermal loss.
Rather than presenting itself as an object in nature, the house aligns with its surroundings through scale, proportion, and material choice. The project demonstrates how small-scale architecture can prioritize durability, clarity, and connection to site over visual excess.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
