Created by the Japanese Kyouei Design Studio, the lamp “Honeycomb” is entirely made of paper “denguri“, a product of the Shikoku region from Japan, which is unique in effect and create a lantern that is only 2 cm thick when is packaged for delivery. The delicate design opens like a book into a honeycomb pattern that’s held together with small clips in the back. Once unfolded, it presents a soft-yet-stable paper lamp that has its own aura of architecture. It comes without any wiring or bulbs, so all you’ll need to do is add a bulb and a cord and you’re set. It’s gorgeous, unique and special enough to change our moods entirely. The design is pretty ingenious and the good news is that you can take it with you while you travel because is just 2 cm thick when packaged. The price for the Honeycomb Lamp is $56.00 and you can get it from here.

Styrofoam Sofa was made by designer Kwangho Lee sculped from a mass of styrofoam into a sofa and because of its characterstic , the longer you sit on it, the warmer it gets. Nobody is really going to make styrofoam furniture, and this is just a concept. I must admit that from time to time we need to play a little and when Kwangho Lee made this piece I think he was in a playful mood. In the end the styrofoam sofa might be very unusual but it looks pretty good. - Via - Uberreview
