Designed by Italian designer Davide Conti, the Magica and Magica 2 Chair appear to be magically standing on one leg. The Magica, the black chair, is designed to appear that it receives support from the back of the chair that extends down while the Magica 2, the white chair, zig-zags to theoretically gain support from the front of the chair. However, there are two transparent plexiglass pieces on each side of the chairs that sturdily support the body and make it usable.

Although the Magica Chairs are still in the conceptual phase, they would be a great way to fool friends at home or guests and passersby in restaurants and hotels.

Here’s a better look at the transparent plexiglass on each chair:

What do you think about the Magica Chairs? Would you be comfortable sitting in them?

A fresh take on the table lamp, these table lamp silhouettes are wall mountable for a unique look. Made by Gumdesign for Zeroombra, an Italian design company, the Sognibelli lamps come in a variety of colors from bright purple and orange to simple black and white. The base of each lamp has a small shelf for accessories, such as eyeglasses, books or magazines. As an added eco-friendly bonus, Sognibelli lamps use LED lighting to save on the amount of electricity they rely on.

Made from aluminum, these fun wall lamps are a great fit above (or instead of) a bedside table or in a nursery next to a rocking chair. Where would you use the Sognibelli Lamps?

Remember Venn Diagrams? Even if you can’t recall what exactly they are for, you’ve definitely seen them before. And while they can certainly be useful, who knew they could also be art?

Swedish design firm Outofstick (cool name!) that’s who. This unique table features gorgeous hues in a fun, nesting design inspired by the Venn diagram. Each is constructed from colored waterjet-cut glass and iron legs.

A little nerdy but a lot of fun, who could see using these in there place?

Here’s a round of chairs that are as delicious as your favorite version of this chair’s namesake. Designed by Infiniti Design in Italy, the Cookie is a polycarbonate chair that obtains its shape through injection molding.

The best part is that indulging in these Cookies won’t make you feel guilty. Available in red, black, white and transparent, the Cookie also comes in three different shapes. There is a 4-star base version of the Cookie chair that is made in either aluminum or steel rod. The two other versions are made from chrome, one is known as the spider version and the other a stackable sleigh model.

What do you think about these Cookies? Much healthier than the ones we’re used to, right?

Coffee tables are something you spend a lot of time looking at, and perhaps that explains why I am so fascinated by them. I always have my eye out for unique ones that are more than the rectangular norm. In fact mine is not a coffee table at all, but actually a trunk that easily opens for hidden storage space (yes!)

So it’s easy to see why the White Desert Coffee Table caught my eye. Designed by Karim Mekhtigian for Hid’n by La Roche, this linear table dips in the middle forming a bowl of sorts for fruit, candles, flowers, even a beer or two! I love the possibilities and the design looks pretty cool too.

What do you think – do you like an unique table like this or do you prefer something more traditional?

He can huff and he can puff as much as he wants, but the big bad wolf definitely won’t be able to blow down a house of concrete.

Designed by Spanish architect group A-cero, the Concrete House II is located just outside of Madrid. The outside walls are made of dark gray concrete and built with strips of grass between them to create the illusion that the house is actually part of land. With an indoor spa and swimming pool, home theater, wine room and parking garage, the Concrete House II is a luxurious retreat. Even some of the modern decor and furniture appears to be made from concrete!

A-cero’s blog tells us that the Concrete House II is a single story home that measures at 1600 square meters, which is about 17,222 square feet. Imagine living in a space that big. It would be great for a good ol’ game of hide-and-seek…

So what do you think – would you live in the Concrete House II?

I’ve seen some unique rugs in my day, but this sure has to be one of the most original. The Shoelace Rug is indeed made from shoelaces, and is the work of Nate Siverstein and Andrea Paustenbaugh. It certainly adds a unique focal point to the room and you’re sure to be the only one of your friends to have it. Maybe a bit much for a living room, but I think it could look cool under a desk in a modern office or perhaps in a small dining nook.

That dog sure looks cozy, but it might make your cats a bit crazy!
