My mind instantly conjures up the song "Somewhere over the rainbow" when I look at the L'Arco Della Pace Bookshelf. This visually stunning bookshelf catches the eye and captures the heart thanks to the charming rainbow hues. Built by Martino Gampe, the L'Arco has its roots in history since the architectural elements are no coincidence and seeks to replicate the Arco della Pace which is part of the Piazza Sempione in Milan. Measuring 124" h x 87" w, the bookshelf is constructed of vibrantly colored veneered poplar plywood segments which makes it the anti-thesis of the usually traditional shelves.

Design studio Kinzo has a penchant for streamlined aesthetics and forms that borrow heavily from jet fighters and airplanes. Hence its no coincidence that their critically acclaimed Kinzo Air Cabin follows in the same vein. Characterized by a scuplturalistic silhouette, a futuristic functionality and almost abstract aesthetics, the Air Cabin is a testament to modern day engineering and highlights intelligent design. The spacious file storage system can hold up to 90 files and comes equipped with flush-mounted sliding doors and a niftily designed lift and slide mechanism. The unusual asymmetrical form factor may be too much for the traditionalists, but there is no denying that the Kinzo Air is an extremely well-designed work cabinet that has been styled with a rare contemporary chutzpah.

"Kinzo Air is an office furniture programme with a resolutely futuristic design approach," said Karim El-Ishmawi, Kinzo designer. "Every piece of furniture has a distinctive sculptural and architectural quality - functionality does not need to rhyme with blandness. Supersized cable ducts, steal skids instead of table legs and many other details make office work easier and more inspirational. Our filing cabinet is a logical addition to the programme.

Modern mavens may turn down their noses on any product that has the term "granny" in it but the Granny Wall Shelf surely deserves a second glance. A modern take on something as wholesome as the art of doily crochet making,the shelf not only pays an ode to a traditional art but is also a welcome blast from the past. Made from steel and not lace (obviously), the wall shelf is the brainchild of Beerd van Stokkum who has opted for classic colors like black and black. Having a length of 85 cm and a depth of 22.5 cm, the Granny Wall Shelf is even durable enough to use outdoors but personally given its intricate patterned design, I would love to showoff my favorite home accessories on it. You can order it online from here.
