Robert Downey Jr. is best known for his performance as billionaire inventor Tony Stark aka Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He played the character in 2008's Iron Man, the first installment in what would become one of the most popular (and profitable) movie franchises ever. The actor bid farewell to the role when Avengers: Endgame hit theaters in 2019.  He walked away with a $75 million paycheck but fans still wonder if Downey Jr. will ever return to the MCU. While Marvel Studios continues to make superhero movies, we're taking a look back at the 55-year-old actor's time in the MCU.

Plant-based materials catch on with home-goods designers

With an eye toward sustainability, makers of home furnishings are experimenting more and more with plant-based materials. You can find things like bark, leaves and seeds transformed into vegan leather, fabric and organic plastic. At Frankfurt's Heimtextil 2020 trade fair earlier this year, for example, there were lots of examples. Swiss company Qwstion showed its Bananatex, a sturdy, waterproof yet biodegradable cloth woven from Philippine abaca banana-plant fiber. It's being used to make totes and bags.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         Dutch desig

5 Furniture Brands That Are Designed to Be Rearranged

Many of us are living very differently in our homes right now. We're hunching over paperwork at our coffee tables and attending endless Zoom meetings on our love seats. We're thinking differently, too, by creatively using items we already own—starting seeds in a brownie tray, shuffling accessories to refresh a room. In this moment, if we find ourselves in need of big-ticket items like sectionals and shelving systems, it would be ideal if they could transform along with our lives. That makes it the perfect time to consider modular furniture, which is an umbrella category for furnishings made up of components that are customizable to some extent. One simple iteration is an L-shaped sofa whose chaise can be used on either end, like this one by Campaign. At the other end of the spectrum are Lego-like furniture kits, like those sold by Loose Parts, which offer the ultimate flexibility in designing (and redesigning) your own pieces. You

The market for at-home fitness spaces further intensified under stay-at-home orders, but until now there has not been an interior design service dedicated to re-envisioning the home as a place of wellness, privacy, and escape.

The:sixthirty solves these problems by providing tailored design packages complete with 3D renderings, easy to manage DIY installation plans, and a shopping list to realize the transformation. "We recognized immediately that taking a boutique workout class at-home comes with a new host of challenges for both the studios and the user," says Nathan Bright, principal of Bright Architecture. "Our homes and apartments are not designed for a proper workout or spa-like comfort. We want that to change." Behind the scenes, the:sixthirty has built out a robust 3D BIM (Building Information Mo

In the dining room, which is more neutral overall, Wideman layered in textures and metallic hues to create visual interest, with O'Bryan once again creating floor-length custom draperies. The kitchen got a full remodel, though its footprint remained the same. For a nice, clean look, they went with white cabinetry and white quartz countertops, but they wanted a backsplash that, Williams says, "got people's attention." Wideman found a striking glass mosaic tile by SOCI and carried the backsplash all the way to the ceiling around a small window. The addition of a built-in bench next to the window creates a cozy breakfast nook when matched with a round table and comfy chairs. "It opens the space and makes the circulation in the room better," says Wideman. A contemporary chandelier resembling a cluster of soap bubbles hangs over the table, adding a touch of whimsy. To allow in plenty of light, O'Bryan fitted the double window with a simple box-pleat valance (

Sustainable Brand Kalon Studios Releases Rugosa Its First Furniture Collection In Two Years

Kalon Studios, the LA-based sustainable design studio, launched its first furniture collection in two years this week called Rugosa through the (now-online) designer showcase, Sight Unseen. Named after the Rhode Island seaside retreat where the founders, husband and wife duo Johann Pauwen and Michaele Simmering, have gone to reset and recharge for the last twenty summers, Rugosa has come into the world during a very complicated time.  While the collection's design was completed almost a year ago, its final iterations were shaped by the pandemic with an awareness to what is happening in the world. And as the designers contemplated its release with much consideration, their ultimate realization was this is the right time to release pieces which are so deeply personal to them and also reflects an overall societal desire to get back to basics. Consisting of a new sofa, daybed, coffee table and bookshelf, Rugosa is the designers' love letter to the living room, inspired by the

Some Art Van Furniture stores could reopen under new name

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Some former Art Van Furniture stores in Michigan could reopen under a new name. WDIV, the NBC-affiliate in Detroit, reports a federal bankruptcy judge approved a deal which would allow a Texas-based private equity firm to buy 17 closed Art Van locations. The sale could be finalized as soon as this week. Art Van Furniture, the former Michigan-based chain known for rambunctious advertisements promising low prices, announced in March the decision to close all of its approximately 190 locations. The company was started by Art Van Elslander in metro Detroit in 1959. It was sold to Thomas H. Lee Partners, a Boston-based private equity firm, in 2017. Crain's Detroit Business news reported in mid-February that it was considering Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization or liquidation. Van Elslander died in February 2018 at the age of 87.
