Los Angeles-based designer Igor Chak was inspired by the video game Donkey Kong when he designed these 8-bit wall shelves that resemble the game’s levels. Chak explains, “I started to wonder… what happens to all those video game props when games become old….do they get stored away in a digital world or do they fade away with time?

Now that we’re done with the House Milk kitchen , it’s time to move on! Let’s take things outside… We have two matching exterior lights – one at the foot of the driveway and one closer to the house. They wouldn’t have been my first pick, but we can’t afford to replace them right now and I can live with them. What we can afford to do, is make them prettier. Each one sits in a planter, of sorts, made of brick, both of which are falling apart at this point (we’ve already repaired them once). The brick really doesn’t go with the house at all; we don’t have any brick on the exterior.

Montreal-born, London-based designer Philippe Malouin recently debuted a series of lamps entitled Daylight . The collection has a similar feel to louvered shutters, which makes sense since they were inspired by plantation shutters. Each slat hides a strip of LEDs that mimic daylight (hence the name), as if the sun is peaking through the shutters

Jorge de la Cruz teamed up with Vernaza Gonzenbach to create a modular candle holder called Candelabro, presented earlier this year at SaloneSatellite in Milan. Inspired by the idea of “open design,” the object allows for simple construction, reconstruction and replacing or fixing of pieces by anyone at anywhere. It is made of lacquered Ash wooden rods and copper joints and can hold up to three candles. I’d like to see a DIY of one of these

Pushpin Cork is a playful design by Kenyon Yeh that offers double duty. Designed for the Taiwan-based firm COOIMA , the multifunctional cork piece works as both a stool and a side table and will add a bit of quirk and fun to any space. The flexible piece allows you to sit on the smaller surface side or flip it over and use the larger one for a table. Yeh was inspired by your basic pushpin and wall corkboard, which obviously go together. So he combined the two and increased the scale to create the giant pushpin-shaped piece that it is today.

I feel an instant connection with Savannah College of Art and Design , or SCAD, because were were both born in the same year: 1978. It was a good year. In just 33 short years, SCAD has been able to build a global network of design students, teachers and enthusiasts all pursuing the passion of design education. Hey, look! It’s Bradley Bowers ! I wanted to get a ground-level view of SCAD’s mission to be a student-centered institution focused on providing an exceptional education and preparing students for professional careers in design
