I’ve discovered these pieces of furniture with a really unusual shape for a piece of furniture when I saw a report on Cuban art on Frontline/World earlier this week. They mainly focused on the work of Los Carpinteros, a group of two Cuban contemporary artists. From the pieces created by these artists the most interesting and in the same time unusual pieces of furniture were the grenade-jewelry case and the hands with all the drawers. In a few words a piece of furniture like this could be described as an object made from drawers. Finnaly I’m pretty sure that you’ll not see designs like these in production, and they are just concepts.

The Discovery drawer is a piece of furniture that I really like, and it was designed by Richard Shed and Alex Taylor. Produced as a door or drawer unit system, both of which use the intriguing laminated peeled corner detail as an aesthetic and functional feature. The drawer system uses the peel detail to reveal a splash of the coloured internal drawer carcass. I like it because it looks so unreal, original and out of the ordinary at the same time.

I’m pretty sure that those of you who love contemporary designs and especially the pink color will love this three-drawer, black lacquer bedside table that reveals an unexpected pop of pink in the lining of the drawers. This beautiful piece of lacquered furniture is designed by British furniture designer Johnny Egg.

Earlier this month I’ve posted about an Armoire with a Sticker, a great example on how you can use a sticker to change the look of an old or boring piece of furniture. Meanwhile I’ve discovered on Designspongeonline, an Argentinian designer located in Buenos Aires, named Lucas Rise, that creates incredible mural-like paintings on furniture that range from psychedelic to tribal-themed. His works are really amazing if you consider the level of details and time spend at a piece of furniture like this. Here are a few pieces that I liked the most, but if you want to see more you can check his portfolio here.

The Floating Drawer Bed is project made by Scott Sykor and he made this project because he wanted to design and build a simple bed frame which would allow him to conserve space in his room. The outer frame is made from 1×3 boards of maple and the drawer box is constructed using furniture grade plywood. The outer frame comes apart for easy transportation and the drawer set solved all my clothing storage needs. The most interesting part of this project is the illusion of the drawer set suspended in midair, a really cool effect that can draw a lot of attention. - Via - Yankodesign
