I love the wood-appears-like-paper kind of look in furniture. Designer Kino Guérin shows exactly that in some of his limited edition furnishings and objects.

Came across this very talented designer, Jason Phillips, today and his Continuum Table, which seems to be getting plenty of attention. It’s easy to see why with a truly unique look. According to Philips, this table is inspired by models of the space-time-continuum and represents the folds of space and time in the universe.

When I went to his site, I was excited to plenty more designs equally as impressive. Shown here are the Blown Glass Legs Table and Gold Rims Drawers.  Fun and totally unique, yet practical too.  Very cool and very impressive.

What a stunning lamp!  This piece instantly caught my eye, and the more I found out about it the more I liked it.  First, it’s called Petals and designed by Gülnur Özdaglar. Second, and truly impressive I have to say, the round clear “petals” you see are actually made from used soda bottles. The petal like structures within the circles are made from cutting, heating, and hand drawing. Absolutely amazing.  See more from the talented designer here.

Have a great weekend, and as always more great design finds coming on Monday!

Furniture designer Brian McAlpine designs one-of-a-kind pieces using quality wood materials and a simple aesthetic. Every hand-chosen piece of wood influences each unique design and the natural defects in the wood reveal the organic nature of the material itself. ©2010 Design Milk | Posted by Catrina in Home Furnishings | Permalink | No comments | Tweet This | Share on Facebook Furniture – Design – Wood – Home and Garden – Shopping

Furniture Designer, Jennifer Newman has just launched the Slot Desk, made from powder-coated steel and aluminium, and produced as de-mountable flat-pack. A slot runs along the surface of the desk with a cable tray beneath it. This allows cables to be dropped through the slot and to emerge exactly where they’re needed – ensuring the working area is kept clear and free from an unsightly tangle of leads. Available in white, red, and gray. http://www.jennifernewman.com ©2010 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Home Furnishings | Permalink | 1 comment | Tweet This | Share on Facebook Furniture – Facebook – Design Milk – Steel – Aluminium

Inspired by driving though Holland, the Viaduct Table has a shape based on the architecture with the same name.  This gives it both character and a cool look, but also adds a convenient new feature to the table.  Its shape naturally adds a small storage space, and you know that storage space is something you can never have too much of!

Based in Warsaw, Agnieszka Lasota has been working a fascinating project called Furniture with Memory where she takes well-worn old furniture and encases it in electro-polarized glass and then projects digitized images of what it would have looked like when it was new, in pristine condition, and being enjoyed. Uniting past with present is something Lasota does well; the Wreath Project involves a traditional celebratory wreath being used as a lampshade. This Polish designer does not set out to marry art with design on her journey to create and shies away from too much definition. She leaves it to the viewer or user to take away what is important.

Check out some of Dylan Gold’s work. A graphic designer turned furniture creator, Gold sees his furniture as his art and the hardwoods and reclaimed materials he chooses to work with his media. “My furniture pieces are intended to combine fine art and function, craftsmanship and creativity, and blur the line between focal point and background in a physical setting.”

Above is the Stink Tree. I love the way it plays with positive and negative space, and that its design is created by what is not there.  It’s also made of entirely recycled material, which makes it even harder to resist.

Above is the Shady Bed. Simple design, but I love the idea of relaxing in the “shade” of its branches.  This bed is available as both a platform bed and just a headboard, and in all sizes. I might have to seriously consider getting this for myself. See more from Gold here.

One look at this lamp and you can appreciate its cool, sleek design, but once you learn its story it becomes even more captivating. You might be able to figure out the inspiration for this lamp from its name – Dropmacro lamp. If not it’s ok I will tell you. Its creator, Emir Rifat Isik, was inspired by a macro photo of water in motion, leading to the creation of a lamp that mimics this same fluid motion. So simple yet so perfect, and illustrated in this stunning form See more from this talented designer here.
