When my boyfriend asked me yesterday what these things were, I promised him he would learn it soon on my blog. It’s been ages since I saw a furniture that was born to be featured here.

The collection named The Chankley Bore was designed by Marteen Baas for the british brand Established & Son.

The collection debuted at the Milan fair last month, and will be seen again in the autumn in the gallery of Established & Sons.

Draw a chair without lifting your pen. Draw some zig-zags in it! The result will be something like this:

The Zig-Zag chair might not look comfortable, but the aluminum frame is covered with a thick layer of foam. It will be available to buy only from the summer 2008.

Anderson Horta is a brazilian designer. First he grabbed my attention with his Cloud salt shaker that is made of rubber, so you can literally squeeze the insides out.

A bit less funny, but very expressive is his Smash doormat.

Finally, his latest work: the Jesus money-box, that is ready to sacrifice itself once more… for your new notebook!

Genius.

If you sleep like me… actually, you don’t even need to be asleep; if you loll about like I do, the Forever Blanket is for you!

forever_blanket_.jpg

You can move about as you wish, the blanket will never run out. Moreover, it is a blanket, a mattress and a pillow all in one.

BCXSY is Boaz Cohen and Sayaka Yamamoto. Their site is full of amazing ideas and concepts, I will definitely be back with some more.

It’s always worth it to re-visit the websites of the designers. Jasper Van Grootel, who designed my favourite tiles that make your bathroom look like a computer game, is here with another collection called Plastic Fantastic.

Recycle, recycle, recycle. I hear it so much, I literally have a bad conscience if I don’t put the plastic, the paper or the glass in the right bin. Which is good. But what is even better is all the creative ideas that come from recycling.

Although I’m not convinced about the practical use of this handmade coat rack made of recycled bottles, it is eco-friendly and it is a beauty.

Sometimes all I need to see the bright side of things again is coffee and biscuits.

I’ve warned you: this month is going to be all about sweets! Look at our new object of desire: the Marshmallow sofa!

George_Nelson_Marshmallow_Sofa_1.jpg

The design isn’t new, legendary designer, Georges Nelson introduced this sofa at 1956. At first only 200 pieces were made and all the pillows were handmade.

Today at certain shops you can choose the colour of each pillow. Unfortunately one thing hasn’t changed: the high price.

Nothing can get any more simple than a light bulb hanging off the ceiling, no wonder there are so many variations. However, I haven’t seen a table lamp with the same concept. But if you are a fan of playing “Hanged Man”, this one is for you!

colgao.jpg enpieza tablelamp hanging man light bulb

Colgao is the design of spanish studio enPieza, who are also full of great ideas in photography, graphic design, web design, and in many other creative fields.
For example, they even think you could use lightbulbs as earrings.

I banned cakes and biscuits from my life for this month, so excuse me if I find everything that is slightly related to them more interesting. For example: a room, where even the floor covering is made out of pieces of cake? Heavenly, I say!
annecandy1.jpg black candy floor katherina wahl

Katharina Wahl german designer wasn’t looking for a practical, easy to clean carpet. Instead she decided to cover the floor with very soft foam cakes.

annecandy2.jpg black candy floor katherina wahl

Of course this is primarly not an everyday product to your home, but a provocation, an installation.

annacandy.jpg black candy floor katherina wahl

But me, I would just love to dive straight into it!

It seems to me that there’s a trend amongst designers to create things we were dreaming of as a child. This is not the first time that something turns up that would possibly keep every children (and every men) quiet in amazement.

space_book.jpg

The Space Book was designed by Jin-Hui Kim, and it’s a gigantic pop-up book that leads you through furnished rooms, as if you were walking in someone’s home.

space_book2.jpg

space_book3.jpg

Unfortunately I didn’t find any more information about the designer or the book, but as the original article mentions, it would be nice if it wasn’t made of paper and would actually be usable as a living space.

Sometimes time flies with the speed of light. Sometimes only with the speed of a butterfly.

Maybe the life of superstars isn’t as fabulous as we imagine. Still this fabulous sofa we found on the website of Deeply Madly Living was named after them.

hollywood_stardom1.jpg

The Hollywood Stardom seating represents stardom not only in its name. Its price is also drawing near the stars. We can get this piece of hollywood glamour for no less than 8100 dollars.

Of course, there’s a matching pillow as well.

And it looks as if it was made straight from Kylie’s dress.

It’s official: the simplest things are the hardest. Look at this: a Tandem umbrella, of course! Why did we ever try to fit under one single umbrella in the pouring rain? One of us was destined to get wet!

The umbrella for two was designed by Jasmine Raznahan and Mark Owens for those who are inseparable.

Sometimes it’s not the product we fall in love with, but the photo that comes with it. Yes, we sell out easily, even though there’s not even a kitten on this image. Nevertheless, this is exactly how we imagined we looked when we were young and were riding our rocking horse.

The Log Rocker was designed by Eric Pfeiffer, and it can be whatever you want it to be: a speeding motorcycle, a galloping horse or even a balance beam.

If someone asked the italian designer, Adele Rotella, what she thought of luxury, her answer would include a reference to chocolate. She is the designer of Sciocolá, the seat that “was inspired by chocolate and wood’s common features, making downtime as a pleasure and luxury time”.

Whether you like dark, milk, or white chocolate, it will be hard to fight the urge to have a bite.

Reading by the light of your notebook? Been there, done that. Surprisingly, this wasn’t what inspired the japanese studio, Vinta, when they created the Butterfly lamp.

butt07.gif

“This light came from the idea of folding a piece of paper. The function of its adjustment of light and the space created by that are a result of simple action of one surface (the panel) being divided by two. ”
