Since 1964 Seletti of Italy has focused on innovative and design oriented household products that also include a serious dose of creativity. At this year's Milan Design Week Seletti introduced Stack by Allessandro Zambelli as part of their "Augmented Reality" exhibit at Superstudio Group. The colorful assortment of locker style storage boxes and cabinets ads some hope for the dull cabinetry commonly seen in homes and commercial buildings. See more from Seletti and Superstudio Group.

Ice Chair By Baíta Design Is All Steel And Acrylic

2:54 am in Chairs, Chairs & Bar Stools, Contemporary Furniture, Modern Chairs by Tanya

Sweltering in the Sun? Missing the damp cold winter days? Well, then maybe the Ice Chair by Baíta Design is perfect for you. No, it won't cool down your body but thanks to the on board acrylic and stainless steel, it will definitely create an illusion. Brazilian designers Helena Bueno and Heinz Müller have managed to create quite a minimalistic wonder as the first think you notice about the Ice Chair is its sleek exterior and durable construction. I personally see the chair working more in a commercial set up like stores, offices or even airports but hey thats just me.

The Cavour Desk by Carlo Mollino 1949

10:28 am in Contemporary Furniture, Desks, Home Office Furniture, Mid-Century Modern, Office Furniture by Will

Mid Century Modern is still one of my favorite furniture design eras for many reasons and the Cavour Desk by Carlo Mollino is a fine example of what the movement was all about. This curvaceous design sure looks ahead of its time considering its 1949 release. Mollino's philosophy "everything is permissible as long as it is fantastic" is reflected in his body of work which included architecture and furniture design. The Cavour Desk features .86" thick, plate glass top which sits atop a graceful and sculptural oak wood frame and drawer compartment. 97.2" w 29.5" h 35.4" d $12,071.00 From Hive Modern

Here are examples of their "01 Storage Unit" in Yellow, the "Bookshelf" in White, and the "Step Bench" in Black. See more here.
