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 Cyclone Lounger is inspired by the Cyclone Rollercoaster and although it might lack any twists and turns or ups and downs, it's still an interesting lounger design. The Cyclone Lounger could definitely offer you a great ride towards the perfect afternoon nap but it could also be the perfect outdoor piece of furniture you were looking for. Since it's made of laser-cut steel and wood, the Cyclone Lounger can be placed both outside and inside so it's up to you to find a great spot for it. And if these rollercoaster lines appeal to you then you should definitely check out the complete Coney Island Line for more furniture items inspired by Coney Island and its rides. Via Uhuru Design

The bench in the images below, Bench #13, is combining two simple design elements, concrete and wood, and could be used as a seating solution in a variety of places from public locations, such as parks, to personal homes, whether for interior purposes or as a modern piece of outdoor furniture. The combination of wood and concrete is unique, and the Bench #13 itself is surely going to be appreciated by your guests or those bystanders looking for a place to rest during their short lunch breaks. But what I'd be really interested to find out is what really happened to Bench number #1 to #13, and what materials were used to build those. Via Niko Yektai

Who said that chairs can't have feelings for other chairs? That's particularly the case with these cuddling chairs made by Tjep to brighten up our day. These cuddling chairs seem to be more than just friends, they're made of wood and they're joined together to almost form a bench. Granted it's not the most practical chair design, especially if you're looking for modern chairs for your modern table right now, but the cuddling chairs could be turned into the perfect outdoor bench for your family and friends to enjoy while seating outside. The cuddling chairs come in a variety of colors and, if you so desire, more than two chairs can be bound together, although I hear that two's company and three's a crowd. Via Dornob

The DSNL is not some sort of brand new type of faster Internet connection. It is instead a concept that combines two devices you could use around the house: a day shade and a night light. That's what DSNL stands for actually: day shade and night light. As you can see in the images below the DSNL acts as a Day Shade during the day and while shading you from the sun it also harvests the sun's energy thanks to those solar panels on top. Then, at night it becomes a Night Light that will use the energy stored during the day to shed light on your late-night work-related activities, and not only. The DSNL uses OLEDs to offer you that precious, eco-friendly light so each solar charge could last for quite a while. Are you already thinking about ordering a DSNL for yourself? Via Yanko Design

Well maybe the Amada Bench couldn't really sit a whole armada, but at least its main generals would be able to rest for a couple of minutes between battles on this interesting seating solution. The Amada Bench is a custom creation designed by Matthias Pliessnig. The Amada could be very well placed inside a modern office or could be modeled to suit your outdoor needs. The Amada is made of air-dried "responsibly harvested White Oak" and it's definitely a challenging project both for the designer and for the actual beneficiary. What about you? Do you need your own custom bench design for you office waiting area or modern garden? In case you do, you'll need to order one yourself and after your original concept comes to life make sure you ping us about it. Via Matthias Pliessnig

I know in a couple of days its going to be freezing here and the mere thought of even venturing outdoors would be scary. However if you are in the Southern Hemisphere or a tropical country (lucky you) then you can certainly enjoy the wonders of the HAUS series of conversation pods. Designed by Alexander Lotersztain, these compact mini houses have been inspired by the fairy tale 'the three little pigs' and the idea is to get together with family and friends for some scintillating conversation in a private space. Designed Alexander Lotersztain collaborated with Corian by Dupont, Bisazza, Laminex Group and Euroluce Lighting to create this intelligent space for intimate conversations.

The Coffee Bench is a smart modular furniture idea that can be used both indoors and outdoors. The Coffee Bench can act as a regular bench when plenty of seating is required but it will easily be transformed into a table-and-chair all-in-one solution ready to fit your various needs. The Coffee Bench is made from various rotating elements which will help you create any particular setup you desire in order to accommodate your coffee beverage, any other objects, yourself and then some extra guests. The Coffee Bench is made of your choice of material: plywood, MDF, injection-molded plastic, cellulose or honeycomb cardboard and there are various lengths available, from 1 to 3 meters, that would make your custom Coffee Bench easily accessible no matter where you'd place it.
