FAK3, pronounced “fake” is one of the most innovative and edgiest design companies in Asia. They are responsible for creating an elliptical cabinet that can rotate 360-degrees. It’s a concept of open multi-functional spaces that facilitate a variety of activities like dining, studying, recreation and entertainment.

The main feature of such a cabinet, should be easy rotating, but guess what Fak3 took care of it. Even though it’s fitted with industrial strength bearings that can support up to two tonnes, it only takes one finger to rotate it.

The longer widths include a set of keyboards and a desk, while the shorter ones accommodate storage and a TV. It’s a great idea if you consider that it can be turned on one side, each day, for an ever-changing ambiance. – via Yanko

I remember how much I loved westerns movies when little, so I suppose that’s why this odd and innovative piece of furniture, Catching the Wild, appeals to me. It’s a coat stand made of steel and polyester rope that looks just like a lasso. It should be perfect to catching your clothes if you’re into … wild things. My idea is that it would work really well in a bar for cowboys, don’t you think?

Stolenwood Studio took care of the design. Too bad we don’t know for sure when can we buy and for how much money. – via decosfera

Patchwork is most often associated with quilts. Once a craft born out of economic necessity, patchwork quilts still enjoy widespread popularity. However, British designer Lisa Whatmough whose company is Squint Limited has adapted the patchwork technique not for familar bedcoverings but as upholstery material for her fun and funky bespoke furniture line. Just one of her chic furniture pieces will brighten up any dark corner. These are extraordinarily vivid focal pieces indeed.

The best way she found to showcase the fabrics from her antique textile collection was to combine them with period furniture. By mixing her vintage stash with contemporary fabric, her colorful upholstered furniture pieces have fused into truly one of a kind designs. The types of furniture ranges from chaise longues to footstools, cabinets and all types of chairs. Her accessory line also includes patchwork lampshades, bedheads and cushions.

The furniture is painstakingly upholstered the traditional way using tied springs and hand stitched seams. Due to the range of textiles used for each design, prices vary. Squint Limited sells internationally through several outlets. Via

The Czech architects, from Sporadical, finished their wooden house project in Central Bohemia at a former arboretum, last year. It’s a three floors economical and spacious weekend house, surrounded by nature, that has an open residential ground floor, an enclosed bedroom floor, and a rooftop terrace.

The ground floor (the living are) is a great concept that was built as a central core, forming a single space that looks into the forest through large expanses of glass. The structure comes with movable walls which allows to separate the living area and the kitchen if you like, or turn the southern corridor section as a winter garden. The upper floor is the quiet part of the house, with the bedrooms and a large bath, plus a “secret” staircase that leads along the facade to the rooftop terrace, for a pleasant and relaxing time under the open sky.

Because it’s built on a wooden frame with thinner outside walls (reinforced OSB slabs), the construction time was shorter than usual. What I would like to know is how much the owners had to pay for that house, because it sure is a great escape from the busy towns we probably work in.

With a versatile and attractive design, the Penta lamp is a striking concept created by Luca Casarotto of Cosca Design in Northern Italy. Made of recycled polyethylene, with a shape that suggests rotary motion, the Penta Lamp is innovative for to dynamically change its shape and create the optimum lighting for your mood. Open it up and the light will fill the whole room, while folded shut it’s good for spotlights. Warm, moody, modern yet traditional and with a unique shape, that’s definitely a lamp I’d go for.
