David Long from Practice of Everyday Design a new partnership founded in 2009 with a focus on installation art, product design, and architecture sent me this interesting coffee table. The Stalac coffee table is based on the idea of taking a rectangular section from a cave ceiling and using the Stalactites as the table legs. The Practice of Everyday Design will launch their Stalac Coffee Table at the Interior Design Show 10 – Prototype Exhibit. Finally I can say that this coffee table is one of the most original coffee tables I’ve ever saw, and I can tell you that I’ve saw a lot of coffee tables since 2007 when I’ve started Freshome.com

As his graduation project artist and designer Lex Pott created ‘Fragments of Nature.’ A collection of furniture that comes as close as possible to keeping the integrity of the original material. Lex Pott combined industrial, geometric forms with the original, organic structure of a tree in a series of items of furniture. Where the legs of his table meet its top, the form of a tree trunk can easily be seen. The simple, elegant designs are easily reproduced and maintain a grounded, organic feel that harkens back to nature. I’m curious how many of you who are reading this article would buy something like this for your house ? I don’t buy, because it’s not my style ! – Via- Muuuz

Designed by Korean designer Hyung Suk Cho and called the Frame Sofa this piece of furniture consists of two cushions held in a metal frame. The seating is made of stainless steel tubes and fabric upholstery. This design is pretty basic, and I don’t even know what the designer actually designed, because he just took two cushions and put them in a metal frame. Besides being very simple this design is also very uncomfortable I think. So what is your opinion about the Frame Sofa ? Is something that you could also design ? – Via – Dezeen

Designed by Dutch designer Mieke Meijer, Blend is a fusion of a bed and chair. The Blend bed features a wooden frame that is fused with two chairs at each of its sides. The chairs can also function as night tables. The chair refers to the 17th century, when people slept semi-sitting up because laying down was associated with death. What do you think about this interesting idea ? – Via – Dornob

If you’re looking to add a bit of organic, natural feel to your living space, I suggest you take a look at this Signature Shelf. The Korean studio Metaconcrete constructed the shelving unit from a single piece of metal plate. This is pieced by vertical metal columns which act as both support and delineate sections of the bookshelf. This stylish and sleek shelf will surely form part of any home’s interior design whilst keeping our books and other small items all together and in order. – Via – Homedosh
