A few days ago Allan Lake sent me an email to show me a few pieces of sculpted furniture, and in this post you can see a bedroom furniture project named Dreamscape that Allan emailed to me. This collection of bedroom furniture comprises of one King size bed with two large under bed storage drawers and two sets of three drawer bedside cabinets one of which has a secret concealed compartment under its top. It is made of regular and figurative premium white sycamore with tulip wood dovetailed drawers. This project was created as a commission from a couple who very much love art and sculpture and wanted bedroom furniture that would meet there physical requirements, work within there space and would visually reflect them as people in an artistic sense. From my perspective the final result looks like a piece of furniture from a fairy tale, and when I’m looking at it I don’t know why this bedroom furniture collection makes me think at fictional characters like fairies, elves, dwarfs, …

The DeskChair by Wolf Brinkman is a really unusual idea that has an integrated comfy chair built inside the desk itself that faces away from the desk and your work area. When I’ve saw for the first time this design, I was left without words, because usually I’m looking for things that can really be used, and for something like this I didn’t found any use at that moment. After I’ve thought a little I came to this conclusion that you can use this “desk chair” when you are taking a break from your computer monitor, and use that break to face away from your desk and relax your eyes.

The VU.VU.VU. computer desk designed by Ballabio - Elli is a writing and computer desk in shaped multi-layer plywood, with CD/CDRom/DVD space and extractable drawer for PC keyboard. When this desk was created the designer thought that we live in a modern world and a PC is almost in every house, and for that reason under the desk you have a suspended wood structure that was especially made to store the pc unit. The materials used for this desk are wenge and oak wood, with a chromed aluminum base structure. Finnaly the overall design looks good, but I’m wondering why is this computer desk called VU.VU.VU ? - Via - Emmemobili

We presented here on Freshome all kind of wall stickers and wall tattoos that are a great way to transform any wall into something unique and interesting. Today I’ve found this interesting armoire over at Wildflower Organics, that I think that is a great idea for a room where you already applied a few wall stickers or wall tatoos on your walls. The kirei doors are made from the reclaimed stalks of the sorghum plant, bonded using a formaldehyde free adhesive. The gloss white laminate is GREENGUARD certified giving assurance that emissions from this material conform to healthy indoor air standards. Now the price for this armoire is quite expensive $3995.00, but the intent of this post was to get you the idea, and I’m sure that a similar effect can be obtained with less money if you want.
