Table Lamps for Your Wall

9:54 pm in Modern Lighting, SixDW: A New Beginning by SixDifferentWays

A fresh take on the table lamp, these table lamp silhouettes are wall mountable for a unique look. Made by Gumdesign for Zeroombra, an Italian design company, the Sognibelli lamps come in a variety of colors from bright purple and orange to simple black and white. The base of each lamp has a small shelf for accessories, such as eyeglasses, books or magazines. As an added eco-friendly bonus, Sognibelli lamps use LED lighting to save on the amount of electricity they rely on.

Made from aluminum, these fun wall lamps are a great fit above (or instead of) a bedside table or in a nursery next to a rocking chair. Where would you use the Sognibelli Lamps?

Cookie, anyone?

Here’s a round of chairs that are as delicious as your favorite version of this chair’s namesake. Designed by Infiniti Design in Italy, the Cookie is a polycarbonate chair that obtains its shape through injection molding.

The best part is that indulging in these Cookies won’t make you feel guilty. Available in red, black, white and transparent, the Cookie also comes in three different shapes. There is a 4-star base version of the Cookie chair that is made in either aluminum or steel rod. The two other versions are made from chrome, one is known as the spider version and the other a stackable sleigh model.

What do you think about these Cookies? Much healthier than the ones we’re used to, right?

House of Concrete

8:41 pm in House, Modern, SixDW: A New Beginning by SixDifferentWays

He can huff and he can puff as much as he wants, but the big bad wolf definitely won’t be able to blow down a house of concrete.

Designed by Spanish architect group A-cero, the Concrete House II is located just outside of Madrid. The outside walls are made of dark gray concrete and built with strips of grass between them to create the illusion that the house is actually part of land. With an indoor spa and swimming pool, home theater, wine room and parking garage, the Concrete House II is a luxurious retreat. Even some of the modern decor and furniture appears to be made from concrete!

A-cero’s blog tells us that the Concrete House II is a single story home that measures at 1600 square meters, which is about 17,222 square feet. Imagine living in a space that big. It would be great for a good ol’ game of hide-and-seek…

So what do you think – would you live in the Concrete House II?

Lean back and relax on the luscious lips of Roxanne, a cheeky design by Sand & Birch. In a bright, beautiful red color, Roxanne is a fun interpretation. Roxanne is made in two styles: a soft chair made from polyurethane and fabric and a hard chair made from varnished polyurethane.

Unlike the good ol’ schooldays, you won’t get in trouble for having these Paper Planes. Designed by Nipa Doshi and Jonathon Levien  of Doshi Levian for Moroso, Paper Planes are paper-like seating arrangements made from a sturdy steel frame. The fun and colorful striped covers are removable for easy washing.
