the best part, for me, is when there are loads of pieces together.

ribbon staircase, constructed from 10mm steel. pretty cool, eh.

on a ladder, it would be "rungs", which is quite a silly word

i bet it does have a nice bit of flex when walking on the right hand side of it, yeah!

this dude decorated his basement with $10 worth of sharpie markers.

When Charlie Kratzer started on the basement art project in his south Lexington home, he was surrounded by walls painted a classic cream. Ten dollars of Magic Marker and Sharpie later, the place was black and cream and drawn all over.

There are fictional detectives Hercule Poirot and Sherlock Holmes, Winston Churchill lounging with George Bernard Shaw — and the TV squirrel Rocky and his less adroit moose pal Bullwinkle.

this is a needful thing:

that's pretty damn nice, but please tell me that there aren't 26 drawers. it looks like NOP and QR are combined, but i can't tell for certain.

i've taken a liking to "spun" metal work.

these are so retrolicious.

^ meh --- "her chair" looks like a sexy version of the panton chair. mildly original.

that table is unnerving.






this was an entry from a group of Polish design students at the DMY Berlin Youngsters exhibit.

it's silicon, and a great idea EXCEPT for the embedded scent.

that chair has nice lines, but the seat is going to cut into the back of people's legs. otoh, it's pink. that makes up for a lot.




the hand is the eraser. if the clock is like most whiteboard material, it'd take more than the flimsy erase/wipe.

it appears pinkish. but i'll take your word. being on the short side, i notice evil chairs like that one. have to sit way forward or look like a kiddie with my legs sticking out.

tatooine?

edit: shit, that post alone made me want to watch star wars...

Emiliano Godoy's Knit chair just shouts good design! The fact that it is completely biodegradable just adds to the experience. The materials and construction blend the common, cotton rope, with high tech, aircraft plywood, in such a way as to be startlingly intuitive. The interesting point is that small wood pieces are held together with strings, and it is possible to develop in various shape & design. It is unique that 3-dimensional shapes are made by separating pieces.

Office stool/bin

This is a trompe d'oeil sofa, called Soft Wood. The 'wood' is actually photo-printed fabric that covers comfortable cushions.

Designed by the all-female Swedish group, Front, it's faux bois taken to the next level.

i love those lamps nicko. i'd love to hang at least 2 in my office @ home.

that looks painful to sit on and those sharp edges are going to break/chip off immediately. fun idea, though, stitching scrap together.

tell me they had a machine to cut out all those stencils (they ARE stencils, yes?).

that whitewash kitchen is a thing of beauty.

i don't usually like "shape-y" bureaus, but this attracts me. i've gone back to look at it 5-6 times now.

See, I thought "damn, how useful!" as it's often the case where you have just filled the sink with hot water for washing-up when you need to run the cold tap for a drink, or whatever. But it takes up so much space, and the dishes would likely dislodge it on the regular. Overall: fail.

And for that reason, I'm out.

Cube work desk







sure, the tetriscolours would make you go postal after some time, but if they
would use different types of wood for the cubes instead ...

i can magine sitting infront of this desk, stroking the white cat on my lap and wondering
in which of those cubes again i put the plan for world-domination.
