This beautiful combination of glass and bent, dubbed The Wave Bookcase, was designed by Leonardo Emiliozzi for the Italian furniture manufacturer Urbinati. With aluminum feet and made of crystal and straight or curved plywood, the cabinet comes in two heights and widths, both allowing custom positioning of the shelves. Can’t say if they’re solid enough to keep all your books but unless it’s very expensive, the wave bookcase should be a great addition to your modern office or living-room. That if you love glass. - via Contemporist

“The Hive” is inspired at the same moment by the natural shelter built by bees and traditional forms of the Andalusian Arabian architecture and it was designed by Mostapha El Oulhani. The modules of arrangement of hexagonal shape overlap so as to draw a landscape within the space and so become an element structuring all around of whom the user can circulate. The bottom of modules is established by a leaky motive which makes reference to the moucharabieh and the graphics of which evokes the disintegration of alveoli which can be observed on certain hives. - Via

At Freshome we really enjoy furniture that can twist, bend or turn, to get a new shape for different purposes. Take the Huggy armchair for example. Normally it has a mattress that is wrapped inside a small cylindrical wooden base, like the ice cream in a cone, to form a 77 x 60 x 60 cm comfortable armchair. However if you need to come up with a solution, if your friends decided to stay overnight, you can change it into an extra bed. Just unscrew the base and roll the mattress on the floor, you’ll have a 190 x 120 cm perfect bed.
The Huggy armchair can even be changed into a small table. Turn the base upside-down and voila, you have a 60 cm diameter, 40 cm height and 12 cm thick, useful night table. It shouldn’t be very expensive and could easily be done by yourself if you have some time to kill. - Via

The Nero Shelf was designed by Nanni Holén, and was inspired by the decorated shelves you sometimes find in old cupboards. The shelf can be used alone or in a group and gives a wall a strong and contemporary look. The Nero Shelf has an eye catching design that looks good, and is not just a simple shelve that can just hold things. The Nero shelf received the Swedish design award UNG, this last year. Finally if you like it, this shelf can be yours for $250,00 from here. - Via

I don’t know what was in Mario Philippona head when he created these pieces of erotic furniture. His work is inspired by the most attractive female forms, and his pieces available for sale are hilarious. The pieces might be unique, but they are to much, for example how would you explain to your kids that the furniture looks like a woman part ? Mario Philippona is a Dutch craftsman that specializes in erotic furniture carvings and he uses the female anatomy as inspiration for his range of cupboards, wardrobes and tables. Mario Philippona said : “The shape of a woman, her organic architecture, combined with my passion for wood inspired me to sculpt these sexy designs.” Finally I don’t think that to many people would buy a piece of furniture like this, and for Mario I would like to suggest to use his skills to create things that are a little bit more useful, and not so vulgar ( or maybe these pieces were created just to get some attention ? ).
