Every time I go to type Shiny Hammer I want to type Shiny Happy People… holding hands… (if you get that song stuck in your head for the rest of the day, you’re welcome). I love these aluminum products from French company Shiny Hammer – they’re a breath of fresh air from the usual plastic and wood. Founded by designer Samuel Aguiar, Shiny Hammer’s pieces are handmade in France one at a time. Oh, and they also make pretty-painted aluminum products, too: Share This: Twitter | Facebook | Discover more great design by following Design Milk on Twitter and Facebook . © 2012 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Home Furnishings | Permalink | No comments

Kerozene Design has introduced a lounge table into its Giselle collection. The designer, Anna Neklesa, hails from Saint Petersburg and is only 23-years-old. As one can see from first glance, Neklesa drew inspiration from the ballet (we’re guessing the Ballet Russes). The table is darling, its legs in a lovely tendu , its top, a gently ruffled tutu. Beneath, storage tubes accommodate magazines, newspapers, or your knitting.

German ceramicist Nicole Mueller creates a line of contemporary ceramics called Maison Sauvage . The eye-catching pieces feature pops of neon colors alongside white, tan, or black, giving them a distinctive look. The A – Z Collection is a concept that began with actual video footage of how people interact at the table. Mueller studied movements between the people and created each piece built around one similar core and a specific detail of its own. The line changes seasonally with a limited availability.

Colonel , the French interior design team comprised of Isabelle Gilles and Yann Poncele, has just launched its first furniture collection. The line of four pieces is inspired by the aesthetics of outdoor furniture, like those found at the beach, in the garden, or on camping trips. It’s a contemporary re-reading of a (perhaps) bygone era, evoking summer and relaxation.

The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design , had one of the stand-out student stands of the Stockholm Furniture Fair . Wittily entitled New Bacon, it was styled by a team of six students (Mads Sætter-lassen, Eva Fly, Sanna Movafagh, Emil Krøyer, Mathias Wiik and Celina Hirsch Rolmar) to look like a butcher’s shop with products and information tags hanging from butcher’s hooks in a white-tiled environment. Twelve students had their work featured, including the Archilleus – Changing Habits Chair, by Harald Hermanrud , constructed from one single piece of rope: On a similar theme, Bending Days by Nanna Day Larsen, is made from hand-bent steel that is then welded and powder coated, to create a piece of furniture inspired by textiles and with an expression of lightness, that is nonetheless strong enough to hold the weight of the sitter

Admirers of the hipster hunting chic aesthetic associate the name Jason Miller with his ceramic antler sconces and chandeliers, though his Modo chandeliers are also all the rage among lighting lovers. However, this Brooklyn-based design master is also the maker of bone china with beautifully delicate gold chains, and furniture, both woolly and duct-taped. It’s no surprise that his Friday Five reveals a penchant for nature and earthy art
