A-Cute , designed by London design firm AndViceVersa , is a set that includes two chairs and a table that join together to form a sculptural, multi-faceted shape when not in use. Made from laser cut metal sheets that are hand folded based on digital prototyping, and then welded into the geometric solid of the finished product. The design is meant to push the boundaries of it being just a table when, in fact, it’s also a work of art. The outer artistic form conceals the chairs within its structure while maintaining the geometric shell

1. Teanest Table and Chairs by Jody Leach

Fifty years ago, Verner Panton designed the first single mold plastic chair with a curvaceous profile called the Panton chair. Since then it has become one of the most recognizable and classic designs to date. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the iconic design, Vitra UK held a design competition among its clients to customize a Panton chair. The only criteria was that the finished product must be movable by one man.

1. Wire Table Lamp by Verner Panton

Materials: 2 Expedit 2×4 Bookcases, 1 VIKA KAJ leg, 1 Lack shelf, 4 Capita legs

Description: When I first moved two years ago I purchased an Expedit 2×4 Bookcase and laid it on its side against my main wall because I liked that look. I had a Lack shelf of the same color from a previous apartment, so to add some storage I attached some Capita legs from the clearance section onto that and made a little top shelf.

Later on, I wanted more desk space and a well-coordinated living room/office, so I got an identical Expedit case, cut 45-degree angles at the ends of both long pieces, and put together an Expedit-based desk. A VIKA KAJ leg at the wall-facing corner keeps everything stable.

If you wish to pull off a similar hack, take plenty of time to measure the 45-degreee cuts, paint the interior connector pieces (you cram those into the honeycombed paper inside the cut shelves for stability and to connect it) before assembling the finished product. Also, measure the VIKA leg, as the desk will have to settle into place if put on carpet.

Altogether, I’m happy with the way this area looks, and even happier with the tons of workspace it affords me. The whiteboards on the walls are a big bonus, too. Just get some melamine panels at your local hardware store and anchor to suit.
