If vibrant hues, dramatic shapes and whacky designs gets your creative juices flowing then check out the Spacewalker. A brainchild of the inimitable Constantin Wortmann the pendant/floor lamp is part whimsical, part outrageous and a whole lot fun. The futuristic theme defines the lamp as the Spacewalker is suppose to be a "friendly creature exploring new territory to put a smile on your face." The resemblance to the Martians from Tim Burton's Mars Attacks is uncanny and another reason why we love this little bugger so much.

Often with space a challenge for decorating a room it makes sense to go with items that don't dominate a room's appearance. This small leather couch fits that mold. The overall design is very simple which helps keep its appearance and subsequent effect on a room minimal. The product is called Amerigo and is available in white or brown leather here.

Remodeling in Chicago is quite common for families wishing to update an urban space due to the age of many properties in town. These photos show an apartment located in the old Montgomery Ward headquarters. This property has great views of the John Hancock Center and the surrounding skyline. The apartment is an L-shape allowing for many unique spaces to be created. The owner’s wishes were to create a living space for the family and a public art gallery all in one space. As an owner of an art gallery it makes sense to make the home inviting to VIP clients that need a more intimate setting than the art gallery alone. The architects on the project were Wheeler Kearns. More of their work can be found here.

At Furniture Fashion our hat’s off to Verena Lang founder of Ivydesign. We hear a lot of requests from readers living in small apartments about the challenge of space planning and furniture. This product from Verena is called “Picture Table”. The neat thing about Picture Table is how it can provide a table and even a place for guests to dine on, and then fold-up into a picture on a wall. The picture looks perfectly natural and in no way looks like a table. There is also a mirror version as well if a mirror is preferred over a picture. You can learn more about the product here at Ivydesign.

I wonder what the remains of a meteor may look like. Designer Arik Levy created these unusual lamps called “Meteor Lights” based on this concept. The lamp shapes resemble meteorite rock remains which can be used as accent lighting in any room. These unusual lamps are not as crazy as the recent “cereal bowl lamp” we covered at Furniture Fashion, but we love them as well. Find it: here.
