Maybe you’ve seen this everywhere already, maybe not but whatever. I’m not one to care – if it’s something I like, I’m posting about it! This “ Furniture Tasting ” project by Japanese/Portuguese duo Ryosuke Fukusada and Rui Pereira was inspired by the idea that the contemporary furniture industry is feeding us so much that it’s nearly impossible to “digest” it all. I love furniture and decor, and often times I say it’s good enough to eat… and now, I can have my chair and eat it too! They suggest that perhaps it would be easier to present the furniture in a new way – maybe by using a custom waffle-making mold: “an object that mixes both traditional Japanese small cakes ‘baby castella’ with a Portuguese egg based pastry called ‘ovos moles’

I guess I never considered prettying up a board game (although I do love this designer edition of Scrabble ), but Frederick & Mae have recreated the games of Backgammon and Checkers that are much more visually appealing to me than the traditional color scheme and patterns that I’m used to. I love the patterns they created using simple geometries.

Ex.t’s latest towel rack, called Gru by Marco Guazzini, is such a beautiful, simple piece of design. Inspired by childhood memories of large metal cranes and structures that intersected in the sky, Marco designed a dancing towel rack that’s nothing short of perfect. It also fits in nicely with the other bathroom products that Ex.t launched in Milan this year.

Materials: Malm Bed Base Description: This hack begins with a king-size Malm bed base that we no longer had any use for. Rather than get rid of it I had an idea that the headboard and base were nice-enough looking pieces of wood to be reused and, given that our TV was sitting on a small, worn out stand, I thought I’d have a go at making a TV unit/sideboard/thing.

I am cracking up over the title of this chandelier, called the Bird Poop Chandelier, made by Wyatt Little . Paying homage to his elementary schooldays, when he found himself standing below a beautiful Oak tree, shortly after being pooped on by a rather inconsiderate bird. Even though he says it was a regrettable moment, he took this particular memory and created something beautiful and lighthearted. Having been pooped on two separate occasions both while riding inside of a car , I can relate to the whimsy of this piece

Would you believe you can sit on that? The cactus-printed sofa and footrest from Maurizio Galante for Cerruti Baleri , might just be the only cacti that won’t stick you. Galante printed an image of the prickly, spiny plant onto bi-elastic fabric to create the Canapé Cactus sofa and the matching Tattoo footrest. While at first glance you might hesitate to sit, you will actually find a cushy place to rest. Who thought a cactus could be comfortable
