Rota-lab is a laboratory of applied arts based in Rome that is dedicated to the creation of original works. For example, pictured above is Animalhouse, a revised 1950s cupboard. Working with wood, metals and resins and tapping into a Italy’s rich and varied tradition of craftsmanship, Rota-lab produces a limited series of furniture, lamps and interior furnishings, adapted to the functional needs and aesthetics of contemporary living. Many unique pieces arose from Rota-lab’s passion for the recovery of found and/or abandoned objects, and their ability to give these objects a new life and a new function.

My lovely friend Susan Serra (remember her great article on 2011 kitchen trends ?) is launching her new line of Scandinavian-inspired kitchen furniture called Bornholm Kitchen this week at the Architectural Digest Home Design Show . Along with her daughter, Kelly Serra Donovan, Susan has created a new kitchen furnishings line inspired by the spirit of their ancestral birthplace; authentically Scandinavian, yet handcrafted in the US. Bornholm is a kitchen that promotes social interaction — it’s freestanding design is perfect for today’s open floorplans. It’s the “little black dress” where the accessories make it your own.

Cup is a tasteful basin sink designed by Italian company Art Ceram. Art Ceram was founded in 1987 and provides a full collection of bathroom furnishings, from sinks and toliets to towel racks and shower plates.

Inspired by the shape of a coffee cup, the Cup is a modern washbasin with a interesting design not typically found in the bathroom. It is available in all white or in a black exterior with a white interior. As shown in the first image above, the loop that represents the handle of the cup is a handy place to hang a towel.

Cup is a contemporary sink with minimalistic appeal. It has a deep basin and a spot for tolietries or soap on the top. With clean lines and sleek colors, the Cup is a great choice for the modern bathroom. Check out Art Ceram’s website for more contemporary bathroom furnishings.

Spanish design brand Almerich has collaborated with Barcelona-based designers Tom Allen , Christian Vivanco and Yago Rodriguez on a new reading lamp called Monsieur. Connecting the reader, the light and the book, the designers researched the strong emotional connection between the user and the intimate experience of reading. I like that between the name of the lamp and the design, it almost looks and acts like a butler, catering to your every reading need.
