Death. As much as we hate talking about it, we know it’s inevitable. And if you’ve ever had to plan a service/funeral/memorial for anyone you know the choices are somewhat, well, same-y. The cremation choices are even fewer for both people and pets

Vaulot&Dyèvre created Nymphéa, a very dramatic hanging light fixture, for Paris-based Galerie Gosserez . Made of hanging metal discs encircled with LEDs, each Nymphéa chandelier creates a dramatic atmosphere suspended between design and art. The discs can be brought up and tied to change the direction of the light. Much like lily pads, they seem to float above the surface of the floor, as if in an imaginary pond. The pieces are limited of 15 pieces by models + two prototypes (seven different colors of the model are available)

Recent graduate of Holon Institute of Technology, Israeli designer Hadar Glick created a series of vases that reflect on loss and memories associated with it. Loss translates into every society and to every person and as Glick says, “A loss is always a loss.” Nature and flowers often go hand in hand with loss, whether they’re displayed at funerals or sent to someone who’s lost someone special. This series of six vases were made because everyone can relate to them and knows what they’re for and what they represent. They are empty vessels, void of something, perhaps a loss. Quite the opposite of flowers which slowly die, the vases are made from long-lasting materials that will continue along with your memories.

London-based JiB design studio , headed by Je-Uk Kim, is about to launch two new pieces of furniture at 100% Design in London this month. While the company works in various aspects of design from architectural to product, their furniture is truly sublime. Inspired by your basic indoor garden, they decided to combine modern and useful storage pieces with sunken gardens on top making each practical and beautiful. The tops are filled with handmade vessels by ceramist Sun Kim , all of which can be used to hold plants, things, or just as an empty decorative object. Credenza O works at multiple viewpoints depending on what height you’re at.

New York-based product designer Ran Lerner has lent his design skills to many a famous company and when you see his extensive portfolio of work, you’ll see why. His Oval Lamp, which debuted earlier this year during New York Design Week, makes a bold statement and fits right into the mix. The asymmetrical oval shade is bisected by the narrow stem that goes up and over the top of it, holding it in place.

The small Copenhagen-based studio of _Fjeldborg Design has a smart and practical philosophy behind the products they create. Their goal is to create good design without the designer price tag it often comes with. They focus on incorporating the functional elements into the actual structure of a product instead of creating it around a design’s function

Interior designer and television host Taniya Nayak became a household name as the design expert on HGTV’s Designed to Sell (did you see her cameo in our DINE+DESIGN PATCH NYC video ?). She got her start soon after graduating from Boston Architectural College, appearing on ABC Family’s Knock First , and then as a designer on the HGTV’s FreeStyle . In her Boston-based firm Taniya Nayak Design, Nayak uses the same principles she does on the small screen, helping homeowners transform their uninspired homes for top-dollar sales, through staging and minor renovations. Her Friday Five lets us peak into what keeps her organized, inspired, and calm

Designed and handcrafted in Columbia by 2y1dea , the eco-friendly Pensamientos is a cardboard and paper wall clock with thin, dizzying line patterns on the faces. Each clock name and pattern was inspired by music that comes specifically from the region, which gives each one its own look and personality. I love how the clock hands almost look like large Popsicle sticks and also how the color pops against the linear maze of lines behind them.
