Never has knitting looked so cool to me. UK-based textile designer Claire-Anne O’Brien was inspired by the actual knitted stitches themselves and created them in large-scale to produce these stools with a modern twist. The effect invokes depth and texture with an overall playful sensibility

Product and lighting designer Giles Godwin-Brown is a recent graduate and has designed two high-quality modern lamps. The Nepa Lamp is a two-dimensional “lamp silhouette” that stands six feet. It’s wall-mounted and equipped with friction hinges to allow the piece to pivot away from the wall. Constructed of birch plywood and stainless steel with some aluminum details, it utilizes high-powered LED lighting. The lamp is playful and I love that it references a giant-sized Anglepoise lamp.

I’m not always a huge fan of red in interior design, but it seems to be growing on me. Grey, however, is one of my favorites, so that might have something to do with my fondness for today’s color combo of grey and red.
Grey and red together form a modern color scheme, and have an even greater effect when some crisp white is thrown in there. (Especially in the last image – it’s my fave!)
What do you think of a grey and red color combination?

Bulgarian product designer Petar Zaharinov has introduced a new collection, Coordinate , under his Prakrik label. Like his other lines of “puzzle furniture,” the pieces are inspired by interlocking, wooden burr puzzles, and meant to stimulate some intelligence from the user. The components, which fit together without the use of tools, are made from beech plywood produced locally and finished with natural plant oil

Metro is a seating collection designed by Italian designer Luca Nichetto for Italian company Emmegi . I’m drawn to the two tones of the seat – usually I am not a big fan of two-tone seating but this is appealing. In Italian, a metro is a measuring stick, and the Metro sofa embodies this idea of measurement through the multiple modules – defined by color.

She shares the steps involved in creating the Renee chair from her Retro Rainbow Rejuvenation collection in this month’s Deconstruction
