Exploring the archetype of furnitures and playing with new forms and functions resulted in Oak, done at an extracurricular, collaborative student workshop at Lund University School of Industrial Design, Sweden. How good does that clock look!

A stool made from a whole lamb, with the real hoofs substituted with shiny chrome ones. by Atlason
I love the simple lines and construction of these stools, by french designer Alexandre Reignier.
Made from pressed bamboo, this deceptively simple picnic allows the user to choose his own social interaction. Feeling friendly? Sit facing forward and make some friends. Had enough? Flip the seats up and you have an instant lounger, for the san-tanning, anti-social Grinch that you are. Designed by Wouter Nieuwendijk & Jair Straschnow
Well.. hello Mr Chair! Is that a cushion or are you just happy to see me? by Design Mong Studio.
I love these wooden furniture by Vito Selma. They appear so simple, yet look so detailed at the same time.
I am completely in love with the Log Chop Bench by The Practice of Everyday Design from Canada. A simple idea of logging taken to its extreme, including ultra lush looking fragmented motorcycle seating in the brightest red. via Yatzer

If you love grandfather clocks, but hate how they take up so much space, then the Kikkerland Sliced Grandfather Clock is perfect for the space-conscious you.
I always love it when a hard material is manipulated to look soft and malleable. I love it even more when it comes in the form of a stunning stool by Aldo Bakker, carved out of a single block of oak. via Contemporist
Starting with a pile of ‘difficult to get rid of’ discarded tyres, designers Erla Dögg Ingjaldsdóttir, Tryggvi Thorsteinsson created a beautiful and environmentally sound sink with an extremely low profile. via Architect Magazine
I love love love the light tan leather against the black thin lines of this chair, the Marie-Sophie, by Pierre Brichet.
Designer John Leung from ClarkeHopkinsClarke Architects brought us the Parallel of Time Clock last year. Now he presents the “Bias of Thoughts” Bookshelf. Based loosely on a famous optical illusion, this Escher-esque shelf makes your head hurt everytime you move and change your perspective.
Thoughts are biased. When ideas are passed from one person to another, due to the transfiguration of the communication process and the frame of mind of the receiver, they are always perceived with bias.
Inspired by the famous 2D drawing of the optical illusive bookshelf, a 3D structure is translated and the “Bias of Thought” bookshelf is formed. It can be used for shelving books and iPads as well as hanging magazines. Visually, the optical illusion serves as a reminder that, whenever one picks up a medium, ideas can be misinterpreted when passed from one end to the other.

I have always loved the beauty in the dichotomy of old traditions and new shiny tech. Two french designers Océane Delain and Béatrice Durandard took the weaving of the old and new literally and produced the AURA lamp, a halo shaped rattan lamp with strips of LED lights inter-weaved into it. The resulting lamp/lampshade is a glowing ring of warm light that will look perfect in any home. via Contemporist
