With a background in graphic design, Japanese designer Shinn Asano launched a six-piece collection of furniture called Sen , which is Japanese for ‘line’. Asano takes two-dimensional lines and works them into these three-dimensional, graphically inspired forms. Amihajime Table – Inspired by Japanese bamboo basket making and it fits a plant or vase in the center The red steel series was inspired by “Japanese shapes, traditional crafts, or feelings.” Taking notes from his graphic design past, careful attention is paid to the negative space just as much as the lines that make up each form. Kagome Stool – Made up of 18 right triangles that when viewed from above, a traditional Japanese craft (kagome moyou) appears I love the shadows created when light hits the pieces. Nobolu Hanger Stand – Inspired by the hieroglyphic characters of “kanji” where the three legs express grass (ground), the bulging center references the sun, and the upper part mimics a tree Kage Table – The bottom shelf reflects the shadow the top shelf would make Hitotaba Lamp – Inspired by a straw bundle Ippon Stool – A stool made from one continuous line Share This: Twitter | Facebook | Discover more great design by following Design Milk on Twitter and Facebook

Young, Dutch designer Jólan van der Wiel uses a unique process to make these spikey candle holders that resemble cavern formations. Made exclusively for Paris-based Galerie Gosserez , van der Wiel uses a process similar to that of his Gravity Stools, which we’ve already featured here . He uses a contraption that’s essentially a “magnet machine” that makes these objects through the action of a strong magnetic field with a paste that’s a mixture of resin and iron oxides.

Hailing from Wellington, New Zealand, industrial design student James Boock set out to design a table that was inspired by the way vines cling to a structure. The Clip table’s stainless steel legs represent the vines that are clipped onto the wood tabletop structure. Using ecologically treated Accoya pine and legs that attach and remove easily, the table can be flat-packed for easy shipping or just to put away. There’s an industrial simplicity about it that would make it fit in just about anywhere it was placed.
