Signe Hytte just graduated from the Danish design school TEKO and is pursuing furniture design. Recently exhibited at Greenhouse in Stockholm, the Little Giant chair is a simple design with Japanese inspiration. Made of ash wood with a simple wool cushion, the chair does not try to hide its construction. According to the designer, the design itself is based on a tight and conceptual principle that stems from the Japanese Tatami patterns. I like how you can put the cushion over different areas, depending on how you’re using the chair

The duo Daniel Debiasi and Federico Sandri make up Something , a design partnership based in London and Verona, Italy, and their latest creation is a lamp called Naica for Ligne Roset . Inspired by those old carbide lanterns that were used by miners, the lamp is a bit cave-like itself with a hollowed out space that softly reflects the light. The ceramic fixture diffuses the light that way creating a soft, surrounding glow. The lamp is available in solid white or with a red-colored cavity, both with a textile-covered cable that doubles as the handle.

Froc is a new high chair by Slovenian company Rimarket and design studio Gigodesign . But not only is this a nice-looking high chair, it’s also adjustable in more than one way: the seat and footrest heights and the backrest position are all able to be adjusted. The removable safety belt will keep babies and toddler safe but when removed, make older kids feel like they’re sitting at the table like an adult (until they’re 10). The solid leg with four extensions keeps the chair nice and sturdy, too.
