The resulting wood-based collection designed by a select group of handpicked designers around the world, is full of contemporary objects and housewares that are not only fun, they are completely useful.

The fourth piece in the twisted grille series, this stool by Yen Hao Chen and Hui-Ying Lu use twisted metal that is reminiscent of the traditional Taiwanese window grill. The legs of the stool are composed of three triangular elements, and the twisting of the metal adds structural strength to the piece. I like the way that the metal resembles falling ribbons.

We’re guessing you have heard of Lindsey Adelman , a darling of the New York lighting design scene. At the very least, you probably recognize her innovative chandeliers, which are a unique cross between industry and nature. Adelman founded her New York City studio in 2006. Today she has a team of 15 and a network of local artisans that manufacture each piece to order. Yes, those glass globes are all hand blown in Brooklyn

PROOFF recently launched the #006 SideSeat that was designed by the Netherlands-based duo Studio Makkink & Bey . It’s the latest item they’ve released that begs its users to be “flexible with their working space.” The multifunctional design is not just a chair, it also features a desk and storage. The compact workstation resembles those all-in-one desks you might remember from high school, but this one has much more style. The seat swivels with you so you can use it as a full-on workspace with your laptop in front of you or sit so that you can jot things down with the tabletop to your right side

Italian firm Novae Architecture churns out a variety of design including both architecture and furniture, with their latest being the FOLDONE Table. The table appears to be a series of folds from one continuous piece of steel, which creates functional areas capable of storing your things. The open, faceted piece not only looks good, but the void creates an overall lightness to the design. Leave it empty or fill it with books or other items you want close by.
