DOBA Lamp by Gud Conspiracy

The DOBA lamp was designed by Paulo Neves and Alexandre Kumagai of Gud Conspiracy . Inspired by the traditional Portuguese “Dobadoura,” a tool used to wind skeins of wool, the DOBA lamp has a structure around which you can wind the cord. I’m always a fan of design that makes cords more attractive and easier to manage. Share This: Twitter | Facebook | Discover more great design by following Design Milk on Twitter and Facebook

What’s On Your Kitchen Table?

via Martha Stewart

Sometimes things are a little too crazy to keep up with fresh flowers, fruit or other perishable goods as a centerpiece. Sometimes I just want something fun, fabulous and maintenance-free that can rest on my kitchen table until I feel like changing it.

I could go for a decorative bowl filled with decorative balls or potpourri or something like that, or for something like this dish with candles from Martha Stewart. Although, that bowl is filled with dried beans – I think I’d fill mine with coffee beans for more flavor! But then again, I have candles everywhere….

via StrungByColor

So what about these tall glasses decorated with photos? I like this idea of personalizing the centerpiece. And the glass could be filled with whatever you desire – coffee beans, regular beans, decorative beads, etc.

via Real Simple

I also like this combo of dried leaves with a rustic silver tin from Real Simple. Easy to put together, easy to maintain – what more could you ask for?

Since my table centerpiece right now consists of a napkin holder, I need some suggestions! So tell me, what do you have as the centerpiece on your kitchen or dining table? Any suggestions for an easy, breezy solution?! Share your ideas!!
