‘Farmer in search of style’ is the name of an interesting collection recently exhibited courtesy of Designhuis Eindhoven. All the items presented have the purpose of pointing out how, in fact, “rural realities are influencing urban life” and how little by little the stressful urban existance will make room for the peace and quietness of the countrey-side. You can observe the rest of the designs in the exposition here. The pouffes in the images below come from Christien Meindertsma. They are colorful, playful and vivid, which is quite the oposite of the whole idea of being stressed out. You can sit on them, put them on top of each other, throw them chaoticaly around the room, they will still bring a fresh touch no matter where they are placed.

Here is an interesting idea for all DIY that are here on Freshome. Designed by Phil Garner this clever TV-Chair appeared in the architectural book Freestyle: The New Architecture and Design from Los Angeles in 1986. No idea the origins of this crazy idea, although we’ve got to say it seems like a custom, DIY bit and not a manufactured design. But we just love how it shows us that the cool vintage look of old appliances in our homes don’t have to diessappear completely, even though we mostly favor black and sleek designs now. What do you think about this idea ? Is is cool enough for you ? – Via – Monkeyzen
