Design videos of the week: CB2, Morpholio and 'Das Haus'
Home décor brand CB2 is offering social media users the chance to design a New York apartment both on Pinterest and in real time, new technology measures how your heartbeat reacts to design, and Kvadrat takes us on a retrospective tour of the "Das Haus" installation in Cologne, Germany earlier this year.
APT CB2 - The first real apartment designed live on Pinterest
US-based home décor brand CB2, an offshoot of Crate&Barrel, is offering social media users the chance to design a New York apartment on Pinterest while it comes to life in the real world. The company has rented out Apt CB2, a five-room apartment on Broadway, and chosen five interior designers to fill it with furniture over a five-day period. The twist? The public will choose which pieces make the cut.

Scandinavian textile brand Kvadrat has uploaded this online tour of Anglo-Danish designer Louise Campbell's "Das Haus" installation at IMM in Cologne earlier this year. The ‘two-sided' house featured both masculine and feminine characteristics and resembled two houses pushed inside one another like a telescope.
