Materials: Expedit TV Stand, Bjursta, 5″ corner braces, VESA swivel mounts, Custom Vinyl Subway Art Description: My apartment has a strange living area layout (almost pentagonal), and, being one to need my separate spaces, I wanted to create a conventional rectangular living room with a functional triangular office space. Ikea to the rescue! Given that my apartment is only 650 sq.ft and has a monstrous bedroom and walk-in closet, I needed multi-functional furniture.

The Shetland is a playful stool from office furniture giants Haworth that takes me back to my horseback riding days. The stool is part of the new Haworth Collection and is available as a rocker or a bench and offers informal seating for your home or office. Made of wood plyform with a walnut veneer or a white painted plyform, the stool comes ready to go with wool and leather saddle accessories. And with that, I will refrain from saying giddyup, even though I just did. Share This: Twitter | Facebook | Discover more great design by following Design Milk on Twitter and Facebook .

The thesis project of Swedish student Eddi Törnberg heads in a direction that should be noted. Unplugged is an office that facilitates producing the energy needed to run all of our office electronics through doing everyday activities. Based on the quote “Human nature is above all things lazy” by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Törnberg’s thesis came from the belief that society as a whole lacks “the will, interest and energy to struggle to achieve a sustainable society.” So instead, Törnberg created a way around it by deriving energy from things we already do and, since we spend so much of our time working, it’s kind of brilliant.

The Bare Hair Project is an interesting concept from Swedish furniture and product designer Ola Giertz . Developed for a Swedish hair studio, the poufs are made from discarded human hair that is stuffed inside of plastic coverings made from recycled PET bottles. Normally considered ugly, discarded hair from the salon was used for this project to find new purpose for something we once considered useless. Using transparent covers highlights the re-used contents of the pouf making you think about bringing new things to life
