If you are a regular reader of this blog you might remember the Sculpted Bedroom Furniture Collection by Allan Lake a great piece of sculpted furniture for someone who want something unique. Today I’ve decided to present another interesting piece of sculpted furniture from Allan Lake. This Bespoke hand sculpted Desk was made on commission for a couple who wanted it for a particular purpose and place. It is made out of very beautiful figurative burr elm and houses eight hand cut dovetailed drawers and a cupboard with shelf. It features a channel of amber resin that runs central through the length of the desktop. Underneath this channel of resin there are concealed lights that create an effective warm under glow to the surface at night time.It was made as two bases and a top with eight mortise holes that fit onto eight through tenon joints atop each leg, this allowing for better access to its place of inhabitants, as it is a large piece.

It is approximately 82”Long x 46”Wide x 29”High, and was created completely to satisfy the customers needs for function and dimension and also fundamentally for there love of the chosen wood. The overall aesthetics of the desk were inspired by organic natural forms and landscapes and also as spontaneous reactions to the nature of the wood grains in each piece used. The study in which it is now housed also played a creative role in the visualization of its overall look. The desk is finished in multiple layers of furniture oil finish and was finally lightly sanded back and coated and buffed up with a clear wax creating a warm mellowed sheen.

Since Freshome started we presented a lot of interesting pieces of multi functional furniture, and today here is a new piece that I want to add at the collection. This new piece is called “One To Three For Five (Seconds)” and is designed by John Nouanesing. This piece is a white square box, that a first look might look like a table, but you can easily transform it in five seconds from one box into three pieces of furniture, two chairs and a table. The design is creative and when is not used it could save some space. - Via - Yankodesign

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 Letto Reflex Bed from Presotto Itallia is a beautiful dark upholstered piece of bedroom furniture, that can really make a difference. I know that the main purpose of a bed is the comfort, but this bed is not just comfortable it has a purpose, and a great design. The Letto Reflex Bed has 4 large storage compartments within the base of the bed frame that can be easily accessed by lifting the bed at an angle. - Via - Homedesignfind

The Watershed Outdoor Furniture Set is designed by Paul Galli, and manufactured by 54Dean. The idea behind this piece of furniture came when Paul Galli while studying photos of furniture left in their “natural state” noticed that the common act of tilting a chair agains a table to protect it from the elements was actually quite charming and beautiful. These pieces highlight what happens when you blow out that last candle, gather up your things, and head in for the night. The idea seems to be something that wants to bring innovation in how chairs look, and the only thing I’m concerned is if the chair legs can resist like the normal ones.
