I Love Lamp...

We all love flat pack objects! They are eco-friendly with reduced packaging and we can assemble them ourselves and feel more involved in initiating the life cycle of the object. Not to mention, I'm obsessed with seeing how things are put together.

Check out the Flat Lamp...

"The lamp arrives at your house flat, with the few components ready to be assembled by your skilled hands. Within minutes, your world is illuminated not in 2D, but in wonderful, round, living 3D. You have the option of choosing what kind of light to see your world in - Light Veneer, Dark Veneer, White or Red."

Material - Stainless Steel, Veneer Polypropylene

The Almost Human Table

A new interpretation of the phrase "playing footsy” under the table, by way of the Paris based Samal Design,  whose almost human tables bring it to mind.    Almost, I say because they are very life like.  Well life like in the sense of the idealized male figure rather than the couch potato.   Dzmitry Samal is “inspired by men’s beauty and sensuality”.   A bit disarming and some of the poses I dare say a bit awkward… do their best to entice at least a conversation about it or a second look.  Okay maybe a third.

 

Modernly whimsical and offered in futuristic metallic colors of purple, blue, greens and golds, Samal terms his work as “New Retro-Futurism”.  Realized in soft plastic (polypropylene) with a metallic under structure, they look like bronze sculptures incorporated into furniture.  If the table does not quite do it for you or you want more.  How about a mirror or a chair that has legs? 

 

I find this free standing closet intriguing.   It is certainly reminiscent of a Renaissance figure being extruded from a piece of marble.   What is in there anyway? 

This begs the question… where is the female counterpart?

Have an infinitely modern day!

WoodStation

Fall is starting to ease it's way into my area these days and the temperature and weather are as unpredictable as ever. I think it's time to invest in the WoodStation... a sleek, wooden block with a LED display that projects all the information you need to get out of bed and start your day.

What better way to get information about nature's rhythms (time and weather) than from a piece of wood. This sounds entirely logical to us. The WoodStation is a skillful blend of natural materials and display technology. The body of the WoodStation is made from wood and located inside is a clever LED display that mysteriously projects through the wood. When you get close to the Woodstation, a motion sensor will detect your presence and turn on the display. When turned off, it looks like a modern wooden sculpture.

The display will indicate the indoor temperature and humidity, as well as the time and date. WoodStation will also show one of five weather icons (sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, rainy or stormy). An alarm is also included, with snooze - perfect for those cold and rainy days where getting out of bed just seems like a bad idea.
