These wooden pieces were created by Michelle Kauffman for a family who recently had a baby. “The gift of building”- she calls it while happily remembering her favorite activity as a child. Nevertheless, we saw how these wooden lego pieces fit together in order to produce furniture items, which is why we figured it was a nice idea to present here on Freshome. To take this even further, you could even try building such blocks for yourselves, find a nice place to store them (in the children’s room) and use them as seating places when your kids have friends over for example. It would also be a great way of enhancing their level of creativity.

We would like to present an amazing showcase of color and creativity. Lagolinea is the latest shelving collection from Lago and was designed to  “offer everyone the greatest freedom of expression”.  You will notice that all the arrangements -from the company’s 2009 catalog- are vivid, daring, colorful, highly creative and quite versatile.  Weird bedrooms,  classy kitchens, funky living-rooms, there is not a single room design that one of these sets could not fit in. Also, there is an unlimited amount of items that can be stored on these really cool shelves.  Here is where you can contact the company for further inquieries.

We are seeing more and more designs lately that bring together one or more home appliances in order to make the life of users an easier one. Because sometimes a single object doing the job of three others could be a lot more practical, occupy less space and even reduce costs. Vulcan belongs to designer Arthur Senant and is a complex item with more than one functions. First of all, it is a modern fireplace with plenty of storage space for wood and other instruments you will need to start the fire. A system of shelves is connected to this main focal point which enables the possibility of placing all sort of living room objects above the unusual fireplace. Here is where you can come in contact with the designer for further inquiries regarding this creative combo.- via Yanko Design

If you are looking for a really cool bean bag then you should take a look at this bean bag that was designed by Chic Sin Design and looks like a hibernating bear. The Grizzly Bear Bean Bag looks like a real wild animal sleeping its beastly ass off. The Big Sleeping Grizzly Bear Bean Bag measures 51 x 70 x 103 centimeters and is rounded everywhere, except the head (which is shaped like a real bear’s crown).  It features knitted bear graphics, allowing it to mimic the animal’s furry hide better than usual printed upholstery.  Like any regular bean bag, it can function as a cuddly pillow, a comfortable chair and a foot stool, among others. The Big Sleeping Grizzly Bear Bean Bag’s cover can be taken off, washed and even hung on a clothesline. The Sleeping Grizzly Bear Bean Bag it’s available from Etsy for $135.
