I’m pretty sure that those of you who love contemporary designs and especially the pink color will love this three-drawer, black lacquer bedside table that reveals an unexpected pop of pink in the lining of the drawers. This beautiful piece of lacquered furniture is designed by British furniture designer Johnny Egg.

Earlier this month I’ve posted about an Armoire with a Sticker, a great example on how you can use a sticker to change the look of an old or boring piece of furniture. Meanwhile I’ve discovered on Designspongeonline, an Argentinian designer located in Buenos Aires, named Lucas Rise, that creates incredible mural-like paintings on furniture that range from psychedelic to tribal-themed. His works are really amazing if you consider the level of details and time spend at a piece of furniture like this. Here are a few pieces that I liked the most, but if you want to see more you can check his portfolio here.

Designed by Charles and Ray Eames the Vitra Sofa Compact was originally a design intended for their own house in California, but finally went into series production. Unusually high and divided into two horizontal strips, the backrest lends the sofa an interesting profile and clearly sets it apart from the weightiness of traditional sofas. The sofa can be folded up, making it easy to transport. Made from a chromed tubular metal frame with polyurethane foam upholstery, it retails for a hefty £4,966. I know that is very expensive, but at least you have a great idea for adding color and joy to any room.

In 1958 Fritz Hansen produced the first Egg Chair designed by Arne Jacobsen. Originally created for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, the Egg Chair was inspired by the form of an egg-shell to keep people’s intimacy away from the indiscretion of a crowed place like the lobby of a hotel. This year, on the occasion of the chair’s golden anniversary, Fritz Hansen asked the well-known conteporary artist Tal R to interpret 50 Egg chairs designed by Arne Jacobsen. It deals with unique and personalized works covered with precious fabrics that the artist himself collected from around the world. This series of the Egg visually expresses its 50 years of fame as if every piece of textile represents a period of time with past and present trends; rather like a multicolor genealogic tree. - Via - The-Egg-Chair

Designed by Hugh Thomas the Plinth Bath exudes humble sophistication with its minimalist styling and emphasis on subtle detailing. The plinth base may also act as an easy access storage unit for optional water jet pumps and its finish can be matched to suit a variety of bathrooms. Through its cantilever construction the Plinth base may also be used as a step to enable safe and effortless entry into the bath whilst giving the bather a ledge to place their accessories whilst they bathe.
