At first, I took a look at this wall-mounted shelving system and thought, “so what? It’s just a bunch of boxes.” But it’s not. Read on… Created by Korean designer Sehoon Lee , this set of wall boxes does the unexpected. The boxes are actually hinged together so that they can flex and move around each other into different shapes. If you can’t really picture how it works in your head, luckily, there’s a video: Share This: Twitter | Facebook | Discover more great design by following Design Milk on Twitter and Facebook

Architect Benjamin Hall started making furniture with his own hands in the middle of the rolling hills of Washington, where the only road marker was “Mile Post 112.” Now based in Arizona, his furniture line, appropriately called Mile112 , could be considered usable art. The contemporary pieces are smart, clean and rooted in architecture. Pictured above is his Moo.less chaise. Magic Carpet - chaise made with leather and 100 yards of thin Sisal twine, hand-wrapped

Paris-based designer Samuel Accoceberry created a collection of rugs for Chevalier Edition called Tresse , which is French for plait, i.e. braid. Meant to reflect “the spirit of plaiting and hand work,” the series uses a traditional hand-knotting technique to achieve the contemporary braided look of the design. The bold look changes shape depending on the size of the rug and visually the pattern morphs as well

We do about 50 Friday Fives each year so we can’t review them all, but let’s take a look back at our favorite 10 (in no special order): Jacob Granat - We love that he chose five inspirational people. After spending three winter seasons snowboarding in Chamonix, France, and a year in Hanoi, Vietnam working with students, Swedish designer Jacob Granat started his own company importing and selling furniture, lamps and textiles back in 2006. He quickly realized that selling them wasn’t as much fun as making them himself, so he enrolled in a cabinet-making course, then in university. Now, freshly degreed in furniture design, Granat showed his line ”The Sound of Forest” at the Stockholm Furniture Fair and Superstudio Piu, Milan this year. Søren Rose - Every item he chose is a joy to look at

Designer David Taylor is back with a container series entitled The Brand New Heavies, where he uses rarely combined materials like tin and stoneware. The juxtaposition between the heavy, dark brown stone with the shiny, lightweight metallic qualities of the tin, somehow work and balance each other out. As Taylor describes: I make work that marries disharmonious materials, bringing them together in order to find, if not a balance, then a means of coexistence. Each container was made in relation to the one made previously and throughout the day various sizes and shapes came about. The cast tin stoppers were slow-poured and made specifically for each container.
