Belgium-based designer Bram Vanderbeke’s new desk called Woven is an exploration of the idea that desks need to be not only functional but also a place of concentration and privacy. It’s hard to concentrate these days – between diminishing attention spans and the open concept workplace, our focus is constantly at war with our surroundings.Vanderbeke’s solution is to create a personal workspace that hides these external things that keep us distracted, and yet doesn’t exclude us from interacting with our surroundings. It’s like having a nice, little nest for your work.

Snickeriet , a new Swedish independent carpentry company whose name is Swedish for “the Carpentry”, recently launched its first collection of handmade furniture. I am really digging the Frank cabinet, a curio-like storage unit made of maple and plexiglass. Designed by Karl-Johan Hjerling and Karin Wallenbeck, Frank was named because the way that piece was constructed is completely obvious — thus, the designers are being “frank” about how it’s made

Industrial designer Robert Bronwasser heads the design studio Smool and he’s created the Casual Chair as part of a line of what he calls “Fashion Furniture.” The comfortable designs are minimal but much like the fashion world, there are unlimited options – like zippers, pockets, leather accessories. The frames are colorful and built much like that of a tent with poles that make it easy to store flat and assemble when necessary. Smool is currently looking for a partner to produce the Casual collection.

Materials: Lack Side Table, corbels, nailhead trim, sand paper, wood filler and glue, spray paint, metallic paint Description: With less than $45 and a little elbow grease, I transformed my $10 table that was destined for the dumpster into one of my new favorite pieces of furniture. I started out by sanding down the “wood”. The surface is actually a very thin veneer so it doesn’t take much but does need to be thoroughly sanded. After whipping off all the excess dust, I flipped the table over and glued the corbels to the inside of each leg. Be sure to let them dry COMPLETELY before the next step.

It’s been a while since our first “Inspired by…” post in which designer Brad Ascalon created a concept bag inspired by the Ultrabook. The reason I started this Inspired by… series was to give designers the opportunity to explore new materials and push the boundaries of what’s possible as well as give us a peek into the design process. But, most of all, it’s just plain fun. And what’s more fun than tearing off strips of blue tape after you’ve painted a wall, forming a giant tape ball indicative of all your hard work

Dutch designer Robert Bronwasser has created perhaps the most happy watering can I’ve ever seen, or at least the best looking. Designed for the Dutch company Goods , the Spring watering can has two openings – a wide one to fill the can up with water and a narrow spout for watering your plants. Spring purposefully has a skinny neck for you to hold onto while watering. It holds more than two liters and is available in four colors. Happy watering!
