I have to say that I love this bedside table from Porro Furniture called "Balancing Boxes". It was created by the Swedish design group "Front", whose four members include Anna Lindgren, Katja Sävström, Sofia Lagerkvist and Charlotte von der Lancken. The concept of boxes providing storage and acting as a table top surface is an insightful idea. The way the boxes pivot on themselves melds both art and furniture into one statement.

By nature a new restaurant has to be hip and trendy to take us away from our favorite eateries and take our business to a new place. "Restaurant Et Cetera" is a new project created by designer Jan Schreiner. In the images provided by Jan, we can see an incredible use of colors that really create some "pop". The use of pinks blended with darker background colors create an environment that is light and intimate at the same time. Without the brighter colors, the place would be a dark room not for the trendy, but for those that want to "not be seen". More information: Jan Schreiner.

It can be said that "being primitive" takes design down to its deepest roots by breaking it down to its basic concepts. These designs come from Nucleo and feature three of their collections: Primitive, PH and Terra. Each of these themes provides a unique experience designed for both the furniture and art enthusiast.

Primitive: The workmanship makes unrepeatable and unique objects: made entirely by hand without the use of presswork and finished with non-toxic resins that reveal signs and imperfections. Living Primitive elements reflect on elementary forms used by Le Corbusier to create architectural and urban space. The return to structure is a twentieth Century leit-motiv, with artistic avant-garde, from Cubism, to Abstract art, to Constructivism, Suprematism. The art is free from 'enslavement' to the subject, able to translate the motions of the human soul with the pure colour or pure form.

PH Series: Inspired by molecular structures and crystal lattices created when atoms bond to one another, PH is a pentagonal modular made in expanded polyurethane. The pentagonal shape allows an ample number of configurations by drawing closer the various sides.

Terra: Terra is not a finished product, is an idea; we provide the cardboard frame and the seeds, the main ingredient, the dirt can be found everywhere on our planet. The armchair is born in your garden and becomes part of your landscape.
Terra! is not only a grass arm-chair, is an arm-chair of the world; if you are in a desolate suburb surrounded with cement, make it out of cement, if you live in front of an American highway, make it out of asphalt, if you are in the north pole use the snow. More information: here.

A free standing tub can change the look of a bathroom or even introduce a bold concept to another room of the home. This product is SOPHIESOFA from Calyx. The allure of its design is the free looking nature of a tub that is not cemented in as a room fixture. More information: here.

This glass coffee table is called Sectionimal. It was created by Chilean design studio gt_2P. At first glance one can see the influence of mathematics in the table base that appears to follow a certain algorithmic progression. This is part of their parametric furniture offering created by CAD design using complex formulas. The table top is glass, but there are three options in the base that include plywood, corian and aluminum. More information: HERE.

These CD shelves were design by Arik Levy. The “ladder” concept works where the shelving sits against the wall much like how a ladder would on a house. These CD shelves are constructed of Dibond alumimun panels which provide stability and support to the 8 shelves which when full, can be quite heavy. Find the product: here.

If you are looking for a cool shaped bed, the “Dylan” model is certainly worth a look. This bed comes from Cattelan Italia. At first glance it may appear to be a floating bed with the way it comes off the floor, but there are supports near the foot of the bed. More information: here.

The basic concept behind X-chair is incredibly simple. As the left side of “X” moves down, it creates a reclining chair for the occupant. The simplicity of X-chair’s design is a large part of its appeal. On first glance it seems very minimal fitting many people’s taste that subscribe to that decorating style. The reclining chair was designed by Joachin Nees. More information can be found here.

This product is perhaps the coolest bunk beds in the world that I have seen. Called “Wave 2″, it features a unique design shaped like a work of architecture. Just the climbing up to the top bed is a real treat for kids. I have included the single bed version for comparison. Wave 2 comes from Mimondo and can be found here.
