The latest design to launch from Scandinavian design house Muuto is the Pull Lamp , designed by the Stockholm-based studio Whatswhat . Pull was the 2010 winner from Muuto’s annual competition where design students have historically had their winning designs produced by the company. The interactive lamp features a playful detail that allows the user to pull the shade to a lower position as needed. The cord is partially hidden which acts as the mechanism that allows the lamp to be adjusted.

Let’s be real, there are two things that you’re never too old for – playing with your food and dinosaurs. Add baking cookies to the mix and you have your inner child’s fantasy.

Challenged by the local water company, Serra da Estrela , Portuguese design firm Colectivo da Rainha was to find a way to re-use the company’s PET plastic bottles as the central material in a new product. Accepting the challenge, the duo created the Plastic Bird House as a way to give a home to birds from something you already have in your home. The water company takes environmental issues seriously with their campaign to plant a tree for each bottle that’s sold and the designers, Filipa Ricardo and Renato Silva, took that to heart with their own belief that we all have “a home for nature in our home.” Each birdhouse is made from a single water bottle and the handle remains as a perch for the birds. After experimenting with the bottles and seeing that they could be re-molded and shaped with heat, the material became useful

Spanish designer Valvanera Arrieta participated in the European Design Labs Master 2012 with Jaime Hayon at the helm, and the Grid Set was her thesis project. Not only is the design dynamic, it’s functional because the set contains 11 pieces that any table could use including: salt shaker, pepper shaker, oil bottle, vinegar bottle, vase, napkin and cutlery containers, trays and pitchers. The geometric-shaped components are made from wood, porcelain, and glass and work together like pieces in a puzzle. The pieces nest together but also work in various configurations depending on what your table needs.

Brad Ascalon just announced the launch of his new table collection called Atlas , designed for Design Within Reach . Atlas consists of two walnut tables – a coffee and side table – available with a white or black marble or travertine top. Marble was a big trend in 2012 and I don’t think we’re anywhere close to being done with it moving into 2013. Perhaps travertine (or other natural stone) will be the next big thing? The collection was inspired by the Greek mythological character of the same name, condemned for eternity to carry the heavens on his shoulders. Or, in this case, heavy stone.

Golf J. Charinrattana of Studio248 will launch his first collection under the name Golf.studio248 at this year’s upcoming imm cologne . The idea for the Cutting Edge Chair is derived from the unique joint between two materials: steel and teak. The steel rod is designed with specific” voids” to lock the wooden structure in place. The joint is made more interesting by the slicing of the wood to draw attention to the beauty of wood’s surface.

The Claudio chair is inspired by a specific architectural element – the arch. Barcelona based architecture office Arquitectura-G designed the Claudio Chair for Indoors as an homage to the repetitious and beautiful curvy arch we all know and love. Arches are more structural elements than aesthetics, but they just so happen to be functional as well

“Crazy cut” (i.e., individually cut by hand) pieces of stainless steel cover each piece in a puzzle-like fashion in the Crazycut series by Phillips Collection . Crazycut Coffee Table and Crazycut Side Table Each piece reflects, almost like a mirror, with its chrome finish and bounces light off it making it a shining focal point in whatever room it’s placed in. We love the crackled imperfection of each piece
