Looking for a little something to become the main focal point in your living room? Look no further as designer Robert Stadler has come up with an amazing piece of furniture inspired by volcanic explosions — the Tephra Formations. Meant as a follow up to Stadler’s Pools & Pouf collection from earlier this month, Tephra is a co-edition with Carpenter’s Workshop Gallery that represents mutation rather than dissolution. Including different seaters, an armchair, a pouf and a low table, that’s certainly a design that will grab your guest’s attention with ease. – via

Designed by Studio MAEZM the “Sofa-Dress” is a fusion of space and furniture design. The chair itself wears the clothes of the sofa, transforming an existing object to an interesting –and definitely more cushiony- piece of furniture. What do you think about the Sofa Dress ? – Via – Yatzer

Baroque is a style somewhat older than our normal obsessions here, but these Baroque Bookshelves caught my attention as a quirky storage solution. In the photograph, they look rather like picture frames, but with a depth of 9cm, they are actually deep enough to store your books. The shelves are available in two sizes, with the single unit measuring 32cm long (with 21cm of shelf space) and the double shelf actually slightly more than double in size at 67cm (54cm internally). You can get these pieces from GrahamandGreen.

From the recycled powder-coated C-119 Aileron (the hinged control surfaces of a wing) from a recycled airplane, this elegant credenza is just as striking as it is sustainable. Once used to control the degree of lift and movement on an aircraft, this desk reflects the sleek and refined design of the efficient aileron and the traditional mechanical focus of work desks. The company that develop this credenza, Motoart, has a long history of developing furniture from the recycled elements of commercial and private aircrafts, and I personally feel that their degree of creativity and focus on the reclamation of used mechanical sections make their furniture both incredibly unique and a reminder of the quality of good engineering.
