Caroline Olsson of Akershus University, Norway recently won 2nd place in Muuto’s annual design competition for Nordic design for her Bambi Table . Bambi can be used at two different heights, thanks to a hinge inspired by the anatomy of the knee. When all of the “legs” are bent, the table resembles a doe resting in the woods

Farbkasten by Sven Stornebel is a product with my favorite product description so far this year: “just a box with color glue.” So matter-of-fact and nonchalant. There’s something really cool about these – I would love to see them with a gradient of colored glue from top to bottom.

Netherlands-based designer Erik Stehmann explores using simple materials and basic techniques to build a table and chair. “Inspired by the typical ‘woodworker’ sentence: ‘Glue is stronger than wood’, I experimented with glue and wood to test this phrase. After testing lots of different types and brands of glue I discovered a glue that succeeded. By cutting a beam up in blocks, and gluing it together as a beam again, it became even stronger than the original beam,” Erik explains

Studio Ve is back with the Endy Series , which they exhibited in the Greenhouse section during Stockholm Design Week. Consisting of a stool, chair, and coffee table, Endy is made of leftover timber with painted ends. The painted wood comes directly from the saw mills, who paint the ends of the wood and discard it before it makes its way to the consumer.

French designer Eric Jourdan has a new exhibition at the Galerie Gosserez in Paris. The Blocks Vases were constructed more like buildings than vases, and together look like the beginnings of a little city. Jourdan’s latest pieces are cohesive and all began from a detail

Kenneth Cobonpue’s latest collection, called Cabaret, caught my eye. It reminds me of some of the designs I’ve been seeing in the contract industry with its oversized back and sides, but Kenneth’s definitely put his special signature on it. I can see these working nicely at home or even poolside at a hotel
