The same smooth shape and form that draws people to appreciate the beauty of pebbles holds true in this unique modular seating collection with the same name. Perfect for casual spaces, each Pebble Chair offers a comfortable and unique place to enjoy a rest, chatting with friends, or even getting some work done. Each piece in this unique seating solution by Georgina Moss can be used alone, scattered throughout a room, or nested together to create a larger seating space.

What a stunning image and in it truly spectacular lighting. The Decanter Lights by Lee Broom are made from crystal decanters that the artist finds at vintage shops. Some are left naturally transparent, and other get a polished gold finish. The Decanter Lights can be seen at Coquine – a West London bar that Lee Broom also designed.

What’s better than sprucing up your old folding chairs by adding your favorite Pantone hue? Not much, and thanks to Seletti the work has been done for you.

Pantone, the accepted standard for accurate color communication, has been a theme showing up on a lot of items lately. A little bit of designer humor mixes with what is actually a pretty cool looking design in these unique chairs. The Pantone Chairs come in 672 C pastel pink, 186 C ruby red, 377 C macaw green, 14-0848 mimosa, 268 C royal purple and 10 C cool gray. See more here.

As a self-proclaimed coffee addict, I couldn’t resist sharing this unique concept design, in the hope that maybe someone out there would think it was as cool as I do. Designer Jung-Woo Lee has come up with a way to stay dry in the rain while still carrying your latte AND having a free hand. This umbrella features a convenient coffee-cup holder integrated right into the handle.

Rainy days just got a little bit better in my book!

You know I have mixed feelings about Etsy, but cool finds like this definitely ad some pros to my list. This cool, retro clock is made from a recycled ADS console record player and an epic records 78 titled “It’s a Sin to Tell a lie”. A cool way to brings records and record players back in a way that’s still functional in your all iPod home!

What’s your favorite Etsy find?

From the designers at Innovo comes the most interesting umbrella stand I’ve ever seen. That’s because this stand does more than hold your umbrella, it utilizes the water running of the umbrellas to help grow seeds through this matt’s tiny system of holds. While there are a lot of questions that come to mind like – What would you even do with this small amount of grass? and What happens when you live in a dry climate? – it’s still a pretty creative design.

Its the same kind of question as “What is art?”. It’s all how you look at it. Garbage Upcycling Design uses materials from personal and corporate donations and repurposes them into modern design pieces. Everything from street signs to binders is used, creating completely unique pieces while extending the life cycle of each product.

Garbage Upcycling Design does more than find new uses for “garbage” though, it actually helps people find new kinds of work. Garbage’s staff includes twenty people, some welfare recipients and others adolescents who have recently completed drug therapy. They benefit from the creative experience, while participating in an occupational training program developed specifically for Garbage Upcycling Design. See more here.

This unique table lamp, called Lior, was inspired by designer Jaim Telias’ childhood memories of playing with product packaging. Sometimes the packaging is more interesting than the product, and from that idea came Lior. Lior, which means “my light” in Hebrew, is a simple rectangular light. That is until you scratch it. Each mark personalizes it to make it different, while letting more and more light shine through.

Lior is made of polystyrene. See more here.

Too fun not to share, FabLab is no ordinary iPhone wallpaper. In fact it’s not even for your phone, it’s for your walls. So where does the iPhone app come in?

Images and text are actually embedded in the design of your wallpaper, and can only be revealed via the FabLab Wall iPhone application. Crazy yes but cool, this idea is already getting some positive attention and is currently on display at Musee des Arts Decoratifs de Paris.

So who would actually try this in their home?

Outdoor furniture like you’ve never seem before, Queen of Love takes an ornate, traditional look and makes it both modern and appropriate for outdoor use. In addition its bold design and colors, light passes through its prism like structure producing a rainbow of colors.

Queen of Love is the work of Graziano Moro and Renato Pigatti. Both originally worked in fashion, an experience which can be clearly seen in this highly stylized collection of chairs. Perhaps the best thing about these chairs is how unexpected they look outdoors. Still, I am a fan. See more here.
