This fun chair was inspired by ice cream!  Yup, the Softice has a unique inspiration, but it does provide a cool look and a comfortable seat.  The Softice is designed to have minimalist appeal while still offering lots of comfort while sitting.

This unique chair comes in several fun patterns, some of which are shown here. Its simple geometry is designed to accommodate the human body.  I think they are cool enough to get just to look at though!

I can’t really explain why I like this light, but I know that I do. I saw it and I had to know more, so I headed over to the designer, Charles Crawford’s website.

What I came across was really interesting. The light is made of parts Crawford got from eBay and Ikea. I guess some designers shop just like the rest of us! The electrical cable is from Sweden but bought from a German eBay seller and the body of the lamp is made from an Ikea Lack side table. He is currently producing a limited run of twenty five pieces, each of which will be signed and numbered. And the best part- they are a reasonable $150! Head here for more info or to get one for yourself.

This incredible ceiling light is the work of Jeongwon Ji, and is the result of a structural study on the association with the motion of light, human engagement, and the movement of forms. This light can be expanded or shrunk, and each movement alters the amount of light.

Spread Light is created through both modern manufacturing processes as well as hand-made methods, Ji’s idea of a new kind of luxury. See more here.

You can’t look at this chandelier and not be impressed.  This amazing light is hand-made and transforms dynamically, illuminating as it changes shape.   This inspiring piece, called the Yakuza Lou, is the work of artist Eddy Sykes and is intended as a classic chandelier for a new century.  Who knows… maybe the Yakuza Lou will one day be the standard.

It was the name of the this collection that first caught my attention, but once I saw this image I was really intrigued.  Haute Bamboo is a collaboration between designers Bo Reudler and Olav Bruin, and “continues the quest to renew our connection with nature, guided by natural forms in an intuitive way”.

In this collection, both designers wanted to re-examine the aesthetics of bamboo, one of the world’s most renewable resources.  The Haute Bamboo Series will be officially launched during Fuori Salone Milan from April 14th through the 19^th.  See more here.

That’s the slogan from the makers of today’s genius product design selection – Mug Hug.  I first heard about this over at Design Milk today, and instantly had to know more. As a self-proclaimed coffee addict I am always looking for ways to make enjoying my favorite brew easier.

So what’s the big deal?  I usually stop for coffee in the morning, not because I enjoy the extra stop but because of my lack of positive experience with travel mugs.  The plastic coated ones always seem to taste like plastic and the metal ones never seem to get all the way clean no matter how many times you wash them. So the idea of being able to use just about any mug in my cabinet, snap the lid on, and be on my way sounds pretty good to me!  And for those of you who are loyal to your local morning spot, check out the Mug Hug website for a list of what size coffees from each establishment this convenient lid will fit on.  It just may prevent those annoying spills in the car or even worse on your desk!

Today I bring you the fabulous work of Melanie Porter. Familiar yet suprising, it’s her combination of classic design with unexpected elements that really caught and continued to hold my attnetion.

Melanie worked as a knitwear designer for 10 years, and that influence is clearly seen here.  After working with intenrational fashion, Melanie moved on to create the furniture you see here.  Each starts as an existing chair the designer find and is then rehopohlsted to be a unique work of art.  See more from Melanie here.
