German design group Voxel Studio created SUESSLICHT , a pendant lamp made of sugar. Each shade is formed in a cone-like shape that resembles a sugarloaf, which is the original form that refined sugar was produced and sold. Partnered with simple hardware and primary colored, textile-covered cords, these lights are pretty sweet (sorry, I couldn’t resist). The shades are made when sugar crystals are mixed with a water base, then pressed and dried, forming the thin, crystalline shell

Studio Segers has designed a simplistically unique furniture and accessory collection with a universal element incorporated into each piece – poles made of oak wood. Whether it’s the legs of a table or hooks on a wall, the pole is the theme of the (obviously named) Pole Collection . Now available through Mookum , the collection combines white lacquered metal with the warm wood giving it a bit of a Scandinavian feel

Run by Russel Koskela and Sasha Titchkosky, Australian company Koskela makes furniture for both the home and office. I was particularly drawn to their pieces that incorporate pops of super bright colors and neons. I’m just not over this trend yet… Above: PBS Table This extra-low sofa was inspired by Russel’s dachshund, Rudi, who is also long and low! Notice the bright yellow/green piping

I don’t know how your bathroom is set up but my mirror seems to be a million miles away from me and I have to contort and get up on my tippy-toes just to look closely at my face. I actually have to go and use another mirror to put on mascara… I find it to be very frustrating, and I’m sure, ladies, I’m not alone, right?

Jennifer Newman Studio is well-known for a modern take on indoor-outdoor furniture and for their latest they are delving into the sustainable world using bamboo surfaces. The M-Bamboo Table comes with your choice of tabletops – a dark chocolate (above) that works inside or outside, and a light caramel (below) that’s made for inside use. The powder-coated aluminum M-Bench comes in a trapezoidal shape that mimics the form of the table. The outdoor tables are available in 3 sizes to seat 2, 3 or 4 people on each side, while the inside table comes as a long version only and seats 5 people on each side. Even though I seriously love the orange, the tables and benches are available in a wide variety of colors to suit your taste.

During Stockholm Design Week, I was lucky enough to meet Alexander Lervik at the unveiling of his “chocolate lamp” at the Lightworks exhibition sponsored by Belid , at Galleri Kleerup Jacobs . He began the design process by exploring the possibility of creating a contrast to light, i.e., darkness – he wanted to create a light that didn’t give out any light at all. La lumiére au chocolat is in fact completely dark when you first turn it on. It’s only when the heat from the lamp starts to melt the chocolate that the light starts to shine through

Italian architect Claudia Bignoli designs under the name cbdisegno when hashing out her furniture designs. Designing furniture happens to be her true passion and her knowledge of shapes, volumes, and materials aids her in achieving that, like with her TATA lamp. Laser cut from a single sheet of Plexiglas, the rectangular rings are then fanned out from its original two-dimensional state to the three-dimensional form of the lamp.

Stockholm-based o4i Design Studio set out to push the boundaries of what is beautiful in design and chose to create the perfectly imperfect Dent Chair for Blå Station . Dent Stack The o4i crew wanted to challenge themselves and to accomplish the impossible by achieving the desired “dented” effect via a molding technique. The crinkled 3D surface is made from compression molded ash wood veneer and not a typically used 3D veneer, which is much easier but very expensive. Dent NoStack So what could be your average multi-purpose chair becomes a comfortable chair with unique texture, kind of like a piece of crumpled up paper. The Dent Chair is available in various finishes and leg bases, and comes as either a stackable or non-stackable version
