Who knew that the ancient Japanese tradition of folding paper into origami would translate into folded stainless steel as a staircase?
Meet the Origami Stairs, made out of stainless steel and shaped into triangular facets to create a flight of stairs. The 6 millimeter thick stainless steel is supported by a glass banister that provides the illusion of floating steps.
Designed by Bell Phillips architects out of South London, the Origami Stairs were created for a client that needed to join two flats together.

Lolita gets!
How adorable are these Lolita lamps? Aren’t they so prim and proper that you can envision tea and crumpets underneath them?
Designed by Moooi, the Lolita has an injection molded ABS shade and a polyurethane base. She is available in the colors seen above: black, grey, white and pink. Quaint dots line the rim of Lolita’s shade. Aside from the pendant lamp, Lolita also comes in floor and table lamps, all of which should be available from Unica Home early this month.

TEEbooks is a new wall system that becomes invisible when books and other items are placed on it. From the designer: Tee, in the words of a golfer is the T-shaped support that is stuck into the ground on which the ball is placed to get started on golfing. It is driven into the ground to make it almost invisible. It is of a fundamental importance, but only as a support “to serve the ball.” I designed TEEbooks following the same principle, a shelf meant to enhance books, DVDs or CDs, in a simple and discreet spirit. When books are placed on the shelf, it becomes invisible and attention is only focused on “our friends”, the books, DVDs and CDs.
