The Hex Sofa by Nonsinger

Designed by “Nosinger” the Hex Sofa is a sofa which has a sharp shape like a mineral ore being inspired by hexagonal crystal. By being wrapped by plywood, it has a side table on the edge of the sofa and the sloped shoulders of the sofa work as armrests. When you have a sofa like this you can replace a side table, but I’d be careful because I might injure myself from time to time.

Skid Row by Philippe Malouin

Designed by Philippe Malouin the “Skid Row” will be part of his exhibition ‘unusual context’ for nextlevel gallery in paris. The chair is made from bent steel tubing, perforated birch balls, and elastic shock cord. When the user sits down, the wooden balls rearrange and contour the shape of his or her body. Philippe malouin’s work combines a certain element of humor, with both conceptual and functional language. To be honest when I first saw this piece of furniture I’ve thought that those balls are actually eggs.

Thomas Coward’s Dune Basin

Developed by Thomas Coward, the Principal Designer of Australian bathroom products manufacturer Omvivo, the Dune Basin is clearly inspired by the swelling and falling forms of the desert landscape. To be officially released this upcoming July, the Dune Basin is an organic take on modernist basin design: sleek and deliberately asymmetrical. What I find interesting about the Dune Basin’s design is that, unlike many of Omvivo’s other Basin designs, the Dune is not weighed down with strong angular accents or slabs of weighty material in the traditional modernist sense. Although the images focus more intentionally on a clean, simple modern bathroom design to complement the sink, it may be interesting to see the Dune Basin in a hip, charming bathroom that did not focus so much on a stream-lined motif. The Dune Basin certainly doesn’t discount this as a possibility.

Velichko Velikov’s Elaxa Chair

Arguably one of the cooler chairs I’ve seen recently, Velichko Velikov’s Elaxa Chair is a fluid furniture piece that’s an amazing contemporary take on the classic Thonet bentwood chair designs. Developed simply from bentwood and metallic joints, seat and base, the Elaxa Chair took the rules developed by classic Prague and Tivoli chairs and really mixed things up with layers of bentwood and the use of that amazing reflective metal. Equally interestingly, the version of the Elaxa Chair developed from acrylic is a smart alternative that takes on a flair all its own for a completely different interior mood. Despite their modern appearance, the bentwood Elaxa Chairs could equally be a fantastic counterpart to a heavy, bold dining arrangement or a bright and approachable kitchenette. – via

Mikhailov’s Edge Desk

Ontario, Canada-based designer Alexi Mikhailov developed the sleek and hyper-streamlined Edge Desk: a table design straight out of our ultramodern cyberprep fantasies. Especially geometric with powerful, curvilinear angles as its foremost features, the Edge Desk is clearly intended to tug at the heartstrings of progressive contemporary designers among us. The Edge Desk would be a fantastic, non-burdensome addition to a live/work space; especially, a wide, open loft area or a creative apartment office for your design and drafting efforts for example. Just imagine how productive you’d become if you sat down at a table as streamlined as the Edge Desk! Well, we can all dream at least. – visit the website

A different way to store your books : Book Porcupine by Holly Palmer

Designed by British designer Holly Palmer to sit beside your chair, this shelving unit has three different sizes of compartment to accommodate books of varying sizes. With 18 compartments in various sizes for storing your favourite books, the Book Porcupine is a product that is based on the idea of negative spaces. The compartments are the books negative representations made permanent in the structure of the unit. The name of the “Book Porcpine” is give in reference to its silhouette, the stout legs against the spines of the books sticking out at various angles and degrees.Unfortunately it costs £1750, I can say that this is a very high price especially in these hard economic times.

Decorative wall clock for DIY Fans : Radius Wall Clock

The WALL CLOCK RADIUS is a decorative wall clock for DIY fans.The amazing gimmick: you have free choice of setting the dimensions of the clock. That means you can place the 12 time dots closer or more distant to the clock hands. Just as it crosses your mind. Let the whole wall become a giant time indicator or grant only a small corner to the clock. You see, there is the right proportion for any kind of space you have. The length of the hands is the only thing that is predetermined – 46 and 40 cm long respectively, whereas everything else is open to choice. – Via – Radius Design

Luján & Sicilia’s Zona Lights

Bordered by a clear acrylic frame and developed from a polypropylene diffuser, Francisco Luján and Jaime Sicilia’s Zona Light pendant lights have an industrial feel that’s hard to find in colorful complementary light systems. Available in several sizes and several different colors, I love the way that these lights are a modern, progressive take on the shape of a lantern, or a creative a fusion of a spotlight and a table lamp. Either way, the acrylic frame allows for the Zona Light to both diffuse light evenly as well as glow on its own. The Zona Lights would be smart accompaniments to long or circuitous hallways, accent lights for low-lit patios, or mood lighting for a modern bedroom possibly. – you can actually purchase a Zona here

Modern Space Saving Mini Kitchen from Ensci

The Modern Space Saving Mini Kitchen from Ensci is great in places where the space is premium. The mini kitchen is quite an invention and will even let you enjoy keeping everything you need at your fingertips. The countertop is movable and slides pretty well to reveal the range, sink, storage, cupboards and even plenty of cabinets. Imagine, all this in just one kitchen unit. When you are not using it, the kitchen closes up, giving a minimalist, streamlined look and some much-needed organization to what is the most-used, most-chaotic room in the home.

Light Up Your Bedroom with an Alien Abduction Lamp that Steals Cows

Two years ago when I’ve first published about the Alien Abduction Lamp a lot of people loved this product, but unfortunately the lamp was in the concept stage. For those of you who wanted this lamp so bad the designer Lasse Klein announced that the lamp is finally almost ready for production. “The way from concept to prototype has gone very well, without having to compromise on any important details. The few changes that have been made from the renderings to the final products have been by will and by listening to your feedback in my little survey rather than by necessity. The most noticeable change is the removal of the ornaments and pattern to arrive at a more timeless and clean result. You probably also noticed that it has taken quite a while, but seeng the beautiful result, I think it has been worth the extra time.” There’s no release date or price yet, but you can sign up to have the opportunity to purchase one of the first 2000 Abduction Lamps in a special limited edition run at AbductionLamp.com.

Softwall+Softblock: A Wall of LED Light

Developed by the studio Molo Design, the Softwall+Softblock modular LED wall system is a glowing feast for the eyes. The integrated LED lighting was designed to draw a specific focus on the texture of the fabric, which is very noticeable when the designers move and shift the size and direction as each wall moves through their interior space. Expand, contract or manipulate it, Molo’s Softwall+Softblock is an adaptable modular band of gentle LED light meant to serve both as a warm interior accent and keep energy costs low. This would be an amazing concept to use in a bedroom or entertainment room, as well as a smart partition for a large loft or industrially-designed area. – visit their site

Fort: Recycled Magnetic Acoustic Modular Partitions

Developed as high-performance acoustic partitions, designer Arihiro Miyake’s Fort partitions are extraordinarily modular in their conception. Developed from recycled PET bottle fiber, each piece of the partition is held together with high-powered magnets strong enough to hold it together indefinitely. More importantly, the magnets allow for the structures to be very easily modified to suit the needs of the space. Because this design is so creative, it would actually be interesting to see these Miyake’s Fort design used in other applications aside from just a partition. For example, the edge of a couch, the legs of a inventive table or floating sculptural elements to hold up creative lighting. This is why I love the basic components of modular designs: they can be shifted or adjusted to suit just about anyone’s creative needs.
