Designed by Pod Design principal designer Brooks Atwood, the Sylki Chair is made from super thin metal making it weigh in at just 8 lbs. Using just a single sheet of 100% recycled metal limits the amount of waste produced while also reducing the number of welds that go into the chair.

There’s just something about concrete in interior design that I may not ever get tired of. It could be because my fiance works in the concrete industry, so I’m used to hearing about it in buildings and trucks and all of his plant talk. Either way, you can’t deny the fabulousness of the Concrete XL.
Made from concrete with a rubber silicone bottom, this pendant lamp is unique and industrial with a modern touch. Designed by Renate Vos, the Concrete XL is available in several other sizes, including small ones that can be clustered together or placed over a counter.
You would think concrete may be a cold look to a room, but personally, I think it looks pretty cool and stylish! What do you think of the Concrete XL?

Inspired by flower stems, Giorgio Biscaro designed these colorful glass vases with interior “stems” that serve to hold the roots. Made of glass in a simple cylidrical shape, each vase holds a colorful, root-shaped vase inside made of blown borosilicate glass. They’re reversible in the sense that you can flip one over and use the single stem for a solitary flower, or turn it upside down and place flowers around the colorful center. The Roots Vases can be bought in Milan at the Design Gallery Luisa Delle Piane . Photo by Andrea Basile Studio

If you spend any amount of time stuck behind a desk, chances are you’ve put a lot of thought into what kind of chair you’re sitting in, whether it’s because you love the one you have or it’s horribly uncomfortable and you need a new one (that would be me). Luckily there are companies like Teknion that have your back, quite literally, with office chairs like their latest, the Responsive Back Technology (RBT) Task Chair . This chair not only supports the user’s back, it actually resembles it by looking like a rib cage or spinal column. Its goal is to encourage proper posture by actually conforming to the user’s back. As someone who looks like their head is close to their desktop by day’s end from sitting too long with no support, it’s nice to know that there’s a chair that continues to adjust to your back all day in hopes of keeping your posture where it’s supposed to be

Last week we talked about finding the perfect sofa. This week I’m kicking myself in the butt for opening Pinterest and finding the most amazing sofa that I would never be able to peel myself off of.
Isn’t it gorgeous? It makes me want to throw away my current sofa, even though I love it so much I think I might love this one more. Isn’t that terrible? I feel like I’m cheating on my sofa!
Anyway, more about the sofa. The sofa you see above is the Soho Tufted Upholstered Daybed from Restoration Hardware. I’ve never really been a Restoration Hardware person, especially seeing some of the strange things they’ve been coming out with in recent years, but this makes up for it.
Of course, the price isn’t cheap [even on sale!] but I think this sofa would likely last a lifetime. Would you get tired of its large seat? Possibly, but you could always put it in the basement for guests to sleep on. I can’t see that happening though – I see it adding dramatic effect to a large living room.
What do you think about this tufted sofa? Are you in love as I am??

Designer Sven Dogs created a line of outdoor furniture called Fiji for German manufacturer Villa tectona . The woven collection is offset with turquoise blue cushions that reference the ocean, making me wish I was lounging in Fiji right now. The Basket Lounger features hidden storage underneath that allows you to lock up your valuables while you take a dip in the water

The all-wood Nerd chair , designed by David Geckeler , was the winner of the 2012 Muuto Talent Award, and is thus being produced by Muuto , the Copenhagen-based company known for cool, new Nordic designs. German-born Geckeler, who studied industrial design in Berlin and Copenhagen, focuses on furniture, interior, tableware, and lighting. His cites his driving principles, which are apparent in the Nerd, as “simplicity, detail-orientation, and a pinch of courageous design language.” He treats us to his process in this month’s Deconstruction
