This beautiful piece of modern and contemporary storage furniture is designed and manufactured in Germany by Mueller. Made of 1 to 3mm thick Steel this is a very strong, well made product not to mention unique. For comparison, sheet steel for cars is 0.8mm thick. For painting, the manufactured uses acrylic paint specific to the car industry including metallic and pearl finishes. The advantage: the surfaces are particularly hard wearing, non-sensitive and easy-care. This piece looks good, and I feel that pieces of furniture that combine wood and white plastic or steel will be the future of furniture. They look good and are very strong. – Via

It’s been a long day at the office, you get home, change into something comfortable and watch the football game. Wouldn’t you want to rest your feet on your new FUKU/TTON table? You’re not allowed on the table? Stephan Wootton designed the FUKU/TTON with a hexagonal structure meant to reduce the living space, and with a slide-out top that hides four cushions (upholstery foam and Italian wool fabric) inside, that would transform it into a footrest, ottoman or a Japanese-style floor seating. Made of rubber ply and sugar maple veneer for the body, solid Canadian sugar maple on the rails and aluminum sheet for at the base. It gets our vote for functionality.

For those that are serious about the way the kitchen looks like, Snaidero has a few ideas to choose from. With a modern design and features a combination of stainless steel and LED lighting, the Venus kitchen uses a Solid Surface top to make the countertop. It has plenty of storage and though simple, it’s really eye-catching. The Skyline kitchen is a bit different, with an ergonomically adapt design, great color combination and great functionality, it looks pretty neat and uses every space at its best. Last one is the Time kitchen. It looks classic and is not really my style, but I’m sure there are people who’d choose one, if asked. It has lots of details, either teak, cherry, light oak, dark oak or matte lacquer, a 9cm thick worktop and side panels that symmetrically follow the lines of the cabinet. – Via

Ever imagined that someone would build furniture by studying the aesthetic qualities of stalagmites and stalactites, because I didn’t. Zachary Fluker is the guy that created the Hyme stool by using geometric rectangles in a very ordered and purposeful configuration. He actually built the rows from individual pieces, and then assembled the individual rows together to get the fluid shape of stalagmites he dreamed of. We can’t tell if it’s wise to take a sit or where in the living room you should place the Hyme stool, but you may want to take your chances.

Necessity is indeed the mother of invention. Mexican designer Ximena Orozco once needed a pillow case. All she had on hand was a old felt jacket. She loved the soft warm fabric and was loathed to take the jacket apart so she slipped the pillow inside instead. It was an eureka moment. She then went on to design more jacket pillows but incorporated zipper openings to make it easier for owners to insert or remove the pillow.

Each 100% wool felt jacket pillow is unique in its styling and its embellishments. She names them after people she really likes such as her friends. So her creations have endearing names like Senor Chuzo and Senora Juli. When you unzip the jacket to reveal the shirt fabric covered pillow, a little tag can be seen. It commemorates the person who inspired the design. You can purchase these jacket pillows on her website Urbanatics which supports independent designers. The Jackets retail for #170. – Via
