Combining baroque style with modern influences, this table is at the top of my want list today.  Browsing the internet every day and always on the lookout for great design, I see a lot of things I like and today it’s definitely this table.  Designed by Luciano Santelli, it’s made with laser cut 15mm acrylic.  Its high gloss top is detachable.  See more great design from Santelli here.

Plenty of your chairs have springs, but you never really stop to think about them do you?  Frank Winnubst changes that with this chair he calls Springtime.  Developed through research about the various kinds of springs and which create optimum seating comfort, function in this case dictated form.  More of an interesting piece than a comfortable one I’m sure, Winnubst does add a knitted cover to each spring on the top layer to make the “chair” less hard and cold.

After coming across the work of designer Ryan Frank and his “Free Range Furniture” earlier today, I knew I wanted to post about it.  Not only is eco-friendly responsible and right now extremely in, but with Frank’s designs it’s also innovative and practical.

Called the Ipouch, this case is made from fabric backed 100% cork with custom stitched edging in your choice of color. Because it is made of cork, it is naturally water repellent and shock absorbent.  Everything you need in a cell phone case right?   The Ipouch is designed to fit the iPhone or Blackberry Curve. I hear laptop covers are also in the works, which I’m pretty excited about!

Ryan Frank has a lot of furniture on his site, everything from chairs to shelving that I highly recommend you check out.  This smaller item caught my eye as something to share with you today, since right now I have holiday shopping on the brain (and I’m guessing many of you do too!), and well this would make a great gift don’t you think?

This light by Jaren Goh caught my attention, so I guess today we will continue on yesterday’s theme of innovative lighting.  Seeming to randomly sprout from their base, these lights combine clean, minimal lines with sporadic, non-symmetrical placement.  Sure to be the focal point in any room in which it’s used, the appropriately titled Lampost makes a real statement. Its shades are also conveniently interchangeable so you can change them out for a new look.

Lighting so versatile it suits your mood. That’s what you get with Pinch Lighting, an innovative new lighting concept that lets you clip electro-luminescent sheets of paper to a hard wire clip. Simply clip on new “lights” to change the look of your space.  Fun and practical, I hope this concept comes fully to life soon. I’d love to see some of the ideas from the second image included especially the chandelier.

Saw this over on design milk today and thought you all would enjoy it.  These tables come from Made in Hollywood, an Ireland based design firm that creates unique, custom pieces for its clients. I love the incorporation of words into each of these table’s designs and how the word choices are obvious, yet add so much to the overall design of each.

With the holidays right around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about how to fit all of your family and friends in your home.  While I hope you’ve figured this out for Thanksgiving since it’s tomorrow, there are many more holidays right around the corner to consider as well.  Expandable tables are always a great idea, since they seat many while taking up much less space when not in use.  Of course we’ve all seen expandable tables before, but the Stella Expandable Table from Cecilia Olsson takes it to another level.

This small table is perfect for apartments and other smaller living spaces. Its top conveniently transforms to make a great workspace.  When you have company this table really expands like you can see in the last image here.  What do you think?

Have a great holiday! I’ll be back Friday so be sure to stop by while you’re recouping from turkey overload and morning door buster sales

I’m not a huge fan of video games, but I am a huge fan of Christmas.  These caught my eye not only because they are an unusual addition to the tree, but because plenty of my friends are into gaming and would probably love these.  Sold as a set of 7 (including the traditional NES controller and more current additions like the Wii and Playstation) and in your choice of several colors, this set of ornaments comes in at a pretty reasonable $25. Check it out here.

Is this not one of the coolest bookcases you’ve ever seen?  Designed by Jaren Goh, it’s designed to blend the “flamboyance of the baroque style with the simplicity of the contemporary approach”. Well said and beautifully illustrated. I love blending two very different styles together, and often do this in my home, like my modern black leather sofa paired with two antique chairs.  Seeing this in one product is even cooler I think and Goh definitely does a good job of it here.
