Andrew Williams and Tom Huang collaborated together on the design and construction of this Infinity bench , which explores the possibilities of bamboo strip construction. The two decided on the idea after building “The Comfort Girls,” a set of three cocktail tables built using the same techniques.

Materials: varde counter, boholmen kitchen sink, atlant strainer, edsvik kitchen faucet Description: When we were designing our first kitchen, I wanted to avoid chipboard as much as possible and have something sturdy. That’s why we decided to chose Varde kitchen. On the other hand our kitchen room wasn’t too big, so we had to save the place. That’s why we replaced one drawer in Varde counter with kitchen sink.

If you’re anything like me, you have tons of Polaroid pictures lying around and have nothing to do with them. Until now… The German design duo Lightboys developed the large-scale Polaboy® frame. They take a Polaroid picture, professionally scan and enlarge it on a scale of 10:1, and then expose it on special slide film. The image is then framed in a backlit wooden Polaboy® frame and shipped worldwide. The effect is quite beautiful with the warm look of a Polaroid combined with the cutting edge LED technology

We have long admired artist Karen Combs’ lyrical swirls, doodles, and doodads that artfully land on her hand-done sheets of wallpaper. Her studio, Nama Rococo , which recently re-located from the Berkshires to the Hudson River Valley, turns out sheets of acid free French paper, hand painted and hand printed with artist’s pigments. For this month’s Deconstruction , Design Milk gets a glimpse of the printing process for Nama Rococo’s new Amsterdam pattern, from testing to the final product, complete with styled photo shoot. But first, if you’re curious about the quirky name, “nama” means “raw” in Japanese, and of course, one look at the designs and you see where rococo comes from! Playing around with rough drawings. This is the first image for what will eventually become Nama Rococo’s Amsterdam wallpaper pattern

Let’s take a break from the kitchen project and talk about something equally as fun – shopping! For the past month, every day is like Christmas at our house. I’m pretty sure that Fab.com has my wallet held hostage and that the UPS and FedEx guys are ready to go on strike. Each day it seems that something arrives on our doorstep, so much so that our giant recycle trash bin has not been enough for all the cardboard shipping boxes. I thought I’d share a sampling of stuff I recently bought for the house: From top left, clockwise: Three Emeco 111 Navy Chairs for the kitchen to match my red one (this was a Mr. Design Milk decision), set of eight Fferrone water/wine glasses , a small wine rack for reds to place above the wine fridge, two counter stools for the kitchen island, Jim Flora print , Kumani ottoman (Mr
