What better way to measure your kid's growth than by getting him/her a chair that changes sizes with help of a few good old books as he/she grows. That's what the Stack Me Up Chair will do for you. As you can easily see in the images below, the chair can be adjusted to fit readers of all sizes, from kids to grownups. But in order for the Stack Me Up Chair to work you'll need to sacrifice some of your old books and use them to support the chair and the weight of the person using it. The Stack Me Up Chair can be a great chair idea for your children who are just starting school since, as they grow, this chair will grow right beside them. Via Yanko Design

The Ardu Console Table, designed by Martin Ghallagher, it's a very daring table concept that happens to bring an out-of-the-ordinary table to your home. The Ardu Console Table is made out of glass, brass and maple wood and resembles a human rib cage complete with the appropriate human vertebrae holding it together. The maple wood acts as the actual ribs and, as you can see in the images below, the length of the table can be easily modified by adding more maple legs or by reducing the number of legs. The Ardu Console Table could be the modern table design you were looking for, so go ahead, get ready to order yours now! Via Martin Gallagher Furniture

A few days ago we've seen an interesting bathroom shower concept meant to help us recycle unused water and today we have a similar eco-friendly bathroom design that's supposed to recycle all that bathroom water you use in your bathroom. The Aquabox bath system is actually a complex bath unit that will help you recycle and purify the water you use during your showers or while you wash your hands. The "wasted" water gets purified and then stored into an 80-liter tank and you can further use the same water to flush your toilet and even water your flowers. The design is definitely interesting and some sort of Aquabox bath system could be included in more and more bathrooms in the near future. Any early adopters ready to try the Aquabox?

Looking for a new HDTV this Christmas? What about a fireplace for your living room, but a modern kind to match your modern home? What if I told you there's a product out there that offers both these living room must-have elements? The Double Vision combo from Safretti packs a big-screen HDTV and a fireplace right underneath it. The Double Vision comes either in black or white and you can also choose between a 37-inch or a 46-inch HDTV. But remember to mention in your letter to Santa that your fireplace isn't exactly usable as a point of entry in your house. I'm sure he'll find an alternative way of delivering those precious gifts.

Here's an out of the ordinary seating solution for your garden or the public open space you happen to manage, a Tree Bench that not only has plenty of seating space but also comes with a light source, and, most importantly, with its own personal tree and additional green grass. The Tree Bench is made of white Corian and it could be a great solution both for your outdoor furniture needs but also for public spaces like parks, gardens or beaches. The only problem with this Tree Bench is that the trees will probably outgrow their initial enclosures, so hopefully there will be a way to always make sure the tree has enough space to further expand in each Tree Bench.

The Pipe Wrench Coffee Table design in the images below looks definitely interesting but will it really fit with most living room setups? The Pipe Wrench Coffee Table is pretty simple. You have a glass tabletop neatly placed on top of a few wrenches that act as the legs of the table. I personally like this Jonathan Niemuth design, and I would definitely see myself using such a coffee table even though it doesn't really fit with any of my regular furniture pieces. You won't necessarily see this Pipe Wrench Coffee Table in furniture stores very soon, but you could always make such a modern coffee table yourself. Anyone else interested in the Pipe Wrench Coffee Table? Via Coroflot

Those of you that want to bring even more eco-friendliness living to your home should consider melting a few old tires into a comfy and very modern-looking Hermit Crab Chair. Well you wouldn't do the melting yourself as designer Joseph Kin seems to have a way of doing that for you. The Hermit Crab Chairs in the images below are made of used tires and ceramic and they sure look pretty comfortable. The old tire offers plenty of elastic support as it makes up for the legs of this Hermit Crab Chair while the ceramic brings ergonomics to the whole design. Anyone ready to order these outstanding eco-friendly Hermit Crab Chairs yet? Via Yanko Design

Ikea furniture is always fun to shop and to assemble but it might not always fit your needs. Take the Ikea Besta in the images below for example! Depending on what Besta version you choose, and there sure are plenty of them available from Ikea, and depending on how you choose to set it up once you get it, you might find yourself lacking the appropriate space to house a big-screen HDTV. Don't despair though as there is a way of fitting the TV in the Besta. It requires a little manual labor, but in the end it will all pay off as the HDTV will fit quite nicely with the Ikea Besta, not to mention that the DIY project will also give you a chance to customize your whole home theater setup and place it inside the Besta too, while hiding all unnecessary cables in the process. Don't believe me? Then just check out the images below to see how Jerome Samson did it! Via Ikeahacker

Quarantacinque means forty-five in Italian and it also happens to be the name of this particular washbasin faucet. What's interesting about the Quarantacinque is that it's a single faucet meant to control both hot and warm water for your perfect washing mix, not to mention the actual water flow. That's right, the Quarantacinque does it all and it will certainly surprise your guests, at least when it comes to their first hand washing experience using it. The Quarantacinque is definitely the modern faucet you were interested in bringing to your modern bathroom and Ottone Meloda, its creator, has other interesting and very similar bathroom ideas so check them all out before choosing this Quarantacinque as your next bathroom washbasin faucet.
