Another Ceramic Candlestick designed by Marie Dessuant for the British furniture brand Another Country was launched during the London Design Festival . Each candlestick, which is made of a ceramic lid on a turned oak base, sits atop a box that can be used for storage or keeping belongings safe. I love that they resemble pots and pans, but also are reminiscent of old-timey candleholders.

Something I can always get down with is a nap, and when something comes out to make my naps better, I’m jumping for joy (actually I’m curling up in the fetal position ready to go to sleep). Furniture company Haworth partnered with designer Marie-Virginie Berbet to create the nap capsule of my dreams called CalmSpace . The module is made for an office where workers can lay down on the upholstered mattress and choose the time they’d like to spend napping – 10 to 20 minutes. To help the napper sleep, the capsule plays preset lights and sounds that make it easy to fall asleep and just as easy to wake up

Based on a childhood love of model glider planes, Daniel Hulsbergen created the Vederlicht (Featherlight) out of the same materials as the planes and using the same technique. Not being able to afford the costly hobby as a kid fueled his fascination with it to this day, so turning it into lighting only seemed natural. Just like the glider’s wings, the light is constructed out of Balsawood and Oracover (a heat shrink film), making it extremely lightweight.

Sean Yu and Yi-ting Cheng began 22™ in 2005 with a desire to create items in both metal and concrete. Inspired by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, the duo set out to rethink ways to use such an industrial material like concrete to make everyday items like clocks and pens. The 4th Dimension Table Clock has a concrete structure where the face spirals around and down like a staircase. The hands create shadows as them move around the tiered down face

One of the people who I’ve posted about the longest is probably Joe from jefdesigns – I’ve long been a fan of his nature-inspired products. His new fabric lamps seem like a logical next step. After years of making lamps and separately making textiles and patterns, he’s married these two in a series of new drum pendant lights.

I was thrilled when I heard that urbancase had released a new piece of furniture. The Alvo stool was designed by Brian Beck and he also hand-makes every single stool himself using vintage German block planes and a simple bench lathe; no computers necessary – just good, old fashioned muscle.

I thought it might be fun to follow around a student designer to get a better idea of what it’s like to be a design student these days (or a student in general!). Pratt Institute Industrial Design student Casey Daurio, who graduates in 2013, gladly offered us the opportunity to peek inside his everyday world. Let’s follow him around on the exciting occasion of Pratt Institute’s 125th anniversary celebration: I start my morning by having a cup of tea on my balcony in Willoughby Hall on Pratt’s Brooklyn campus. The view is great and it makes for a good start to the day. Before leaving the residence hall, I grab my essentials and make note of my scheduled daily meetings.

The Barrel Lamp by Nieuwe Heren has a new little brother, the Baby Barrel Lamp, also designed for Dutch design label called New Duivendrecht . The original Barrel Lamp was inspired by the aesthetics of WWI searchlights, and so this is a simpler, scaled-down version of the larger floodlight .
