While the name may sound a bit scandalous, the Strip Ease itself is quite wholesome. The name comes from the single strip of recycled steel that the Strip Ease is made of. Designed by Italian architects Mark Lana and Alberto Savettiere of Lana + Savettiere, the Strip Ease is a piece of multifunctional furniture meant for the outdoors.

The Strip Ease can be used in four different ways: bicycle rack, garbage can, bench, and vase.

What would you use the Strip Ease for?

Does your lighting have you in between a rock and a hard place? The Rock Lamp from Diesel with Foscarini is a contemporary lamp that will brighten your spirits, and your decor.

Available in a pendant or floor lamp, the Rock has unique facets on its outer shell as well as the bottom of the lamp, where the light shines through. Available in black or white lacquered polycarbonate, the Rock lamp reflects a strong light, despite its interesting nooks and crannies.

The Rock Lamp is part of the Successful Living Collection, a collaboration between Diesel (the clothing company!) and Foscarini, an Italian lighting company. The goal of the Successful Living Collection is to capture the Diesel lifestyle: “Ironic, unconventional, fun, fiery and creative.”

Designed by Polish designer and engineer Oskar Zieta, the Plopp Stool looks like the inflatable furniture we’re used to, but it’s not. Available in three different sizes, the Plopp Stool is made from inflated metal. The metal is inflated using a process called FIDU, or free inner pressure deformation, created by Zieta himself. Two ultra thin steel sheets are welded together and then inflated under high pressure.

Although they look light, the Plopp Stools are strong and sturdy. As mentioned before, there are three sizes in the Plopp Family: the Mini Plopp, the Standard Plopp and the Kitchen Plopp. All are available in a variety of fun colors.

What do you think of the Plopp Stools?

A transcendental love for the industrial appeal of concrete is easily exemplified with the Concrete Wallpaper. Designed by Norwegian photographer Tom Haga, each set of wallpaper is taken from high resolution photography, so that the pattern is never repeated.

Washable and UV resistant, Tom Haga’s wallpaper is available in more than just concrete patterns. Haga offers many patterns of concrete, but also has wallpaper of brick walls and bright-colored graffiti. Rolls are offered in widths of 2-feet or 4-feet and heights as high as 25 meters, which is about 82 feet. It can also be cut to size, if needed.

The Concrete Wallpaper would look great in homes, retail stores, offices and even hotels. I also like the brick pattern for a fun city apartment. What do you think about the Concrete Wallpaper? Which pattern is your favorite?

The W101 Lamp: a paper desk light. Like a paper lantern, but better.

Designed by Swedish architects Claesson Koivisto Rune for the Swedish lighting company Wästberg, the W101 Lamp is innovative and contemporary. Made of renewable materials, the W101 Lamp is created using DuraPulp, a combination of wood pulp and starch. Previously, the architects designed a chair out of DuraPulp but wanted to challenge themselves by combining light, electricity and paper all in one with the W101 Lamp.

In a press release, Magnus Wästberg, founder and CEO of Wästberg says: “Paper has been used throughout history for making lamp shades. Now we are using paper for the actual structure of the fixture adding advanced LED technology.”

Take a peak at these modular wall designs brought to us by 3Form. Both of these two wall systems can be easily removed and rearranged as easily as a pair of socks! Such designs are great for exhibitions, retail stores or any location in which the decor changes often.

The photo above is the Wovin Wall from 3Form that is a series of  alternating tiles matched together to create a three-dimensional design. The Wovin Wall is available in many material options, such as wood veneer, anodized aluminum and polyresin. Depending on the material chosen, there is also a wide selection of color combinations available for the Wovin Wall.

Similar to the Wovin Wall, is the Wave Wall, seen in the second photo here. The wave effect of the Wave Wall is created by placing tiles in grooved aluminum extrusions. It is available in two patterns: continuous or alternating. Made in the same materials as the Wovin Wall, the Wave Wall is also available in a large variety of colors.

I’m thinking these would look great in an office space or hotel, or even as a funky wall piece in your home. Where would you use the Wovin or Wave Walls?

Because yesterday we posted a chair (that looks like) it has one leg, it seemed only appropriate to showcase the Two Leg Table today! Designed by Shay Carmon and Ben Klinger, the Two Leg Table is made with an oak base that supports a Corian top.

The two legs are arranged in such a way, with an extended piece on each leg, that enable them to support each other while simultaneously supported the Corian table top. Using strong materials such as the oak and Corian were necessary in making the balance possible.

How about a seat at the Two Leg Table with the one-legged illusion of the Magica Chair?!
