Martí Guixé has designed this Free Port cabinet for Spanish company BD Barcelona . Made of MDF that includes veneer of various types of wood with different lacquer finishes, the cabinet sits on aluminum and steel legs. I love that each storage section isn’t the same, meaning you can have this cabinet perform multiple uses such as an entertainment center, bookshelf and wine bar all in one.

Italian architect and designer Elena Galli Giallini has been living in Japan since 1995 and brings a multicultural education to her designs. She recently designed the Deinde Collection for Japanese furniture company Morishige . This collection incorporates the use of urushi, which is traditional Japanese lacquer, with modern furniture. Morishige is the leading producer of furniture with lacquer urushi so they decided to work with the designer to help bring the beauty of it to modern designs. The theme was “traditional within modernity” and they’ve done that beautifully with the artistry of the ancient lacquer techniques and the clean and minimal lines of the pieces.

Lund School of Architecture, clockwise from top left: Kim Ohrstrom, Kajsa Nillson, Christopher Polteg and Freja Elvin-Nowak Greenhouse, the hall at the Stockholm Furniture Fair for design schools, students, and independent designers, was one of the most exciting sections of the fair. Gotland University, clockwise from top left: Henke Westling (top left and top right), Philip Bergstrom and Sahar Ballaei I’ve already written about Malin Isaksson , about Grow from the University of Gothenburg , about Alcro’s collaboration with students from Beckmans College of Design and about New Bacon , the super-styled stand from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design , but that by no means covers the prolific selection of student work on show. I shall therefore attempt to do justice to what remains, most of which was found within Greenhouse, but some of which was tucked away in different parts of the show. Clockwise from top left: Essi Similia from Aalto University part of the MA Students’ Everyday Tools stand; Sandra Cohen Callman from Beckmans College of Design part of the Never Mind The Object stand; Gaspar Gonzalez and Mikael Axelsson, also Beckmans College of Design Never Mind the Object from Beckmans School of Design asked “Why should you care about objects
