This quasi-hexagonal pattern bookcase is made with “expanded polypropylene”- same material used for the car bumper and motorcycle helmet. It is very light but very strong, can be used indoor or outdoor and 100% recyclable. It wasn’t designed specifically to be used as a book case. I’ve seen some people use it for storing wine bottles, children’s toys, CD’s, DVD’s, records, and even an occasional book or two. Available in black and white from Design Within Reach for $450. UnicaHome also carries grey and orange versions. - Via - Apartamenttherapy

These rugs made by Arzu Firuz looks like they were made from wood, but is just an appearance. These rugs are actually made from large sheets of imitation wood vinyl. The line of five rugs includes names like, ‘babylon’ and ‘rosace’. For those who want another example of “wood rugs” here is the Woody Wood Rug that I’ve presented some time ago here on Freshome. - Via - Designboom

When you see that room for the first time you don’t see nothing strange, but here is something really cool with that bed. A flat TV panel is hidden under the bed and slides out to position itself for the optimum viewing while in bed. I’m sure that every man will want a TV like that in their bedroom, or in their collection of home gadgets.

Tetris Apartments is an innovative project completed by slovenian architects Ofis in Ljubljana. As you can see from these pictures these apartments are inspired by the well known game named Tetris. The building stands on the edge of the 650 apartments development which was finished year ago. By urban rules the block is 3 floors high and 65 meters long. Since the orientation of the apartments is towards the car road the apartment areas together with balconies are orientated to the quieter south side.

The Paperclip Lamp is a really innovative lamp designed by Ben Collette and David Wykes. They decided to make a lamp with a really unusual shape, a paperclip. So they made a big stylish paperclip that is used as a lamp. The Paperclip Lamp is notonly bendable, it’s posable as well. Until now this lamp is just a prototype for now, as the designers are seeking manufacturing partners. - Via - Mocoloco
