Little Red Chair

This Little Red Chair from Jantze Brogård Asshoff is quite an interesting piece. The embroidery on the seat is a great accent, and lends a whole new dimension to the chair. I could see a set in my breakfast nook.

Memory Box?!

Yu Zhao has some very interesting ideas that combine design and philosophy. One great example is the Bad Memory Box pictured above. The idea behind the box is to give you a place to hide your bad feelings in plain site, since we hardly let them show anyway. :D

Via Yu Zhao:

Bad memory box intend to go against with our “dishonest” consumptions, which often take furniture as a status symbol for showing wealthy and tastes. Instead, it cares more about the nature of our emotion states.
It’s a storage box for your bad memories or unwanted things but still have meanings for you which you don’t want to discard and destroy, but also don’t want to see the details of them. So block them inside! Show the scar outside.

One end table to rule them all!

This end table designed by Yu Zhao has got to be one of the more versatile peices I've seen in some time. The idea behind the CHANGEis so cool:

An object with uncertain functions will be more efficient and useful for you to live and have fun.

Check out the Yu Zhao website, I think you'll get a kick out of it.

Light tree

I think Lervik sums up the Light tree pretty well in their description. So as always , Enjoy.

A tree made from over 2000 meters of fibre optics, moulded together on a steel frame. The light of the tree can shift in colours and in darkness it can perform the function of a street lamp post. Models are available for indoor as well as outdoor use from 150 cm up to 400 cm. In 2003 the Italian high-fashion clothing company Ermenegildo Zegna acquired 120 light trees for their world wide boutiques. The light tree has also toured around the world in different design exhibitions. The lighttree has been acquired by the prestigious Nasjonalmusem in Oslo, Norway.
