The Cube Chair by Svilen Gamalov screams modern design with its unique shape and bold color choices. Interestingly, the designer credits 1950’s design as well as popular elements from today with inspiring this unique design. No matter what its inspiration, I’m pretty sure this chair is on its way to plenty of attention.

This table is just fun to look at. The Shibafu Table made from 56 slender colored acrylic feet that are randomly arranged and meet a transparent acrylic top. It has been designed to look as if the legs are soaking under water, and it achieves this as its colors are reflected and refracted through its top. See more from designer Eammanuelle Moureaux here.

Anyone can appreciate smart product design, and the Infinite USB is just that.  My laptop has 2 USB ports and sometimes it’s just not enough.  Apparently others agree or at least designer Gonglue Jiang did.

With Infinite UBS each plug is also a port, so there’s no limitation on how much tech you can use at one time. This project is already getting plenty of attention so hopefully this will be available soon.  It has already won a 2010 IF Concept award. Learn more about this cool concept and talented design here.

So this is just a concept and I don’t even have great pics, but I had to share it with your because it’s so smart.  Every once in a while I come across something that I can’t figure out why no one else has thought of it  (but then again, neither did I!) and this is one of them.

This design from Zhang Shouze lets you forget about laptop cases and sleeves and maybe  even your briefcase. It simply folds up so that you can take it with you no matter where you need to go.

This stunning pendant is part of Moonbasket, a project started by designer and artist Dani Le Roy from Cape Town. This community based project involves a dynamic team of people and all natural materials like string and braids made from cotton and jute.

The unique quality of each of these lamps combines with their simple, honest look to create their luxurious appeal. In fact, the artists’ idea was to emphasize the point that crochet is one of the few crafts that can only be done by people and not replaced by machines, and that honest handmade beauty is certainly apparent here.

I’m all for dinner by candlelight, but when enjoying a meal outside it can definitely be impractical. The Firefly Table solves this problem with a built-in solar lamp that emits a candle-like glow. The lamp is in the center of the table and pops up when lighting is desired.   These tables would be perfect for an outdoor café or bar or even my backyard!

The Firefly Table, designed by Vuk Dragovic, is currently still in the concept stage, but I’m pretty certain someone will be producing this soon.

The reason I find the work of Joris Laarman so interesting is that all of it is inspired by life sciences, and made using cutting edge technology. The combination is certainly intriguing, and it only takes a brief look at his work to realize how incredible it is.

Shown here is his new Leaf Table made from resin, steel, aluminum and inspired by the veins of leaves.  Also pictured is the Bone Chair. Even though it is from 2006 I still think it’s worth discussing. What is interesting about this chair, besides its name, is that Laarman actually used technology from the German auto industry to produce a chair that reduces and strengthens by optimizing material allocation, weight and stability to actually require less material.

It’s the end of another week.  Need a reminder how fast time goes? Check out Susanna Hetrich’s Chrono-shredder, which does just that. The Chrono-shredder reminds you of every passing day with a fun design that shreds each calendar day.  Maybe it will motivate you to quit wasting time, or maybe you just enjoy playing with a paper shredder. Either way, this design is cool in my book.  Check out more from designer Susanna Hertrich here.

Happy Friday friends!  See you back here Monday.

Any graphic designer will appreciate these CMYK pillows from Thomas Dabner.  These pillows first reminded my of a Pantone swatch book, but in fact Dabner said he actually designed them from designers who share his frustration with low running ink – and knowing you have no new cartridges left.

Each CMYK pillow is printed on 100% 230gr/m² cotton and is washable at 80 degrees Celsius without fading.  See more here.
