I’ve discovered these pieces of furniture with a really unusual shape for a piece of furniture when I saw a report on Cuban art on Frontline/World earlier this week. They mainly focused on the work of Los Carpinteros, a group of two Cuban contemporary artists. From the pieces created by these artists the most interesting and in the same time unusual pieces of furniture were the grenade-jewelry case and the hands with all the drawers. In a few words a piece of furniture like this could be described as an object made from drawers. Finnaly I’m pretty sure that you’ll not see designs like these in production, and they are just concepts.

From time to time people come up with a crazy idea, like this one, but sometimes a crazy idea can be used as a source of inspiration. A crazy idea that I’ve found today came from Justin. He went to several supermarket bakeries to look for the right pillow-like cake to sleep on. I don’t know why someone would do something like this, but he wanted to sleeping on it, like you sleep on a pillow. When I saw the picture for the first time I said to myself : “What a cool pillow !“, of course that I watched the picture first and skipped the text. After I’ve read the text I thought that this is a really cool idea for a pillow, and I’ve decided to post it on Freshome …who knows maybe someone who’s looking for a little piece of inspiration for a new product will actually use this idea.

This weekend I’ve made a few changes to Freshome, to experiment a few things, and I hope to improve the readers experience on this website. Now let me explain what I did, and after that you’ll tell me if what I did is a good things, and you like it …and of course if there are any suggestions please post a comment.
1. As you can see from the screenshot, now when you enter on a post from this blog, you have the possibility to surf the website, and with just a click see the next, and previous article. Give it a try to see what I’m talking about.
2. I thought that some people when they come to this blog, they come with a specific goal in mind, for example to find inspiration for their bathroom. Now I know that there is a menu in the right sidebar with categories, but categories aren’t so well organized, so I’ve decided to label every post from this blog with a few descriptive tags. When you will click on a tag, for example the tag “sink” you’ll see all the posts from this blog that are related to the word sink. In conclusion I think that this method will help you find what you are looking for a little bit faster. The tags are displayed at the end of every post.

3. Now when you want to surf in categories, tags, or archives, the posts are displayed in full format, not just an excerpt. A few readers suggested to make this change, and right now I’m experimenting how this will work.

Nelson Coconut Chair is a chair that has an innovative design, and an innovative shape. Intended to combine comfort with freedom of movement, the shape of the Coconut Chair’s white molded shell was inspired by the shape of Eero Saarinen’s Kresge Auditorium at MIT. Echoing both the auditorium’s triangular shape, as well as a portion of coconut shell, the Chair’s unique form invites a number of different seating positions. The shell sits upon a chromed-steel base with three thin legs. A single-piece foam cushion, upholstered in high-quality semi-aniline leather, is molded into the shell. Finally the price for this chair is very expensive, $3,899.00 and you can get it from here …I don’t even know why they put prices like that.
