High & Tight is a new stool from Curtis Micklish that was inspired by the teeth of a hair comb. Its cantilevered look is actually a well-designed and structurally sound seating design. Seven individual steel plates make up the floating seat, which are then folded back to create legs. Solid black walnut then meets these steel members to complete the piece.

Signs is a series of geometric mirrors, designed by Jérémy Murier & Daniel Martinez, made out of only two elements. The cylindrical ceramic bases are concave in the center which gives the mirror the illusion of floating above it by extending the angle of the mirror. The mirrors themselves are made out of polished mirror sheets of copper.

Young design firm, Shift , is based in Monterrey, Mexico and they’ve created a Blu-ray and DVD holder that was inspired by music levels. Levels was born from the idea of wanting to take a look at items that have long been forgotten about, like your DVDs and CDs. With so many people moving the bulk of their music and movie watching to the digital realm, storage for these “artifacts” has gone by the wayside. Levels accommodates your collection into an almost sculptural form that mimics equalizer bars and sound levels that you see on audio displays. Using laser cutting technology, the pieces can be precisely cut for easy assembly

AIM , the latest design from Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for FLOS , defies all convention when it comes to positioning your ceiling light. Instead of hanging your light source dead center in your room, AIM breaks tradition because it can be positioned wherever you like, and with as many fixtures as you like. Available as a hard wire fixture or with a regular plug that goes in the wall, the lamps are suspended via long cables that you can swag into a chaotic (or neatly drooped) maze of wires, creating a completely unique fixture specific to your room

Seven young Mexican designers got together to form a design cooperative called Panorámica and the group debuted their collection of objects called Materiality at this year’s ICFF . The collection is made of everyday materials like basalt stone, terrazzo, copper, and glass, all of which might go unnoticed by modern urban dwellers and their aim was to “exalt the unique beauty of their “ materiality.”  Our favorites happened to be the Terrazzo Hanging Pot (above) and Bird Feeder (below), both made from terrazzo, a mix of concrete, stone, and granite, that are held from a copper ring and suspended from a rope to help save on space. Urbanites often lack space and time and have rare moments to sit back and relax, so Panorámica set out to combat that with these designs to help you contemplate nature in the space you do have.

One of my personal favorites from ICFF 2013 was a table that I quickly walked by and snapped a photo of on my way to see something else. With this simple table made of powder-coated steel , Iacoli & McAllister have yet again made me go back and take a second look.

Antonella Di Luca , a young designer from Bologna, Italy who previously worked with at Iosa Ghini Design Studio decided to begin a new design practice with Ubaldo Righi called  MR.LESS & MRS.MORE . Focused on tableware and home decor, they presented a product during Milan Design Week at Ventura Lambrate called Citybook . Inspired by a previous popular product,  Housebook , they took that house form and created a modular unit that can be configured just about any way you’d like, creating tons of bookcase variations that are an attractive alternative to the traditional square and rectangle shapes. Different bases can also be purchased and the house units come in white or gray sheet iron

While searching for some gorgeous spaces today, I rounded some favorites and noticed the similar tone of blue in the two images. The deep color must be calling to me today!

None of these images have much in common, aside that they’re pretty places. They are each from a different room – one the bathroom, another from the kitchen, the third from a seating area and the fourth an open living room. Back to the blue, I was really in the mood for some bright white rooms today, but I felt like I’ve covered that before so I went for some color and unintentionally went for the blue and threw in some seafoam green.

Blue is a color I have a lot of in my house, but the seafoam green – not so much. However, I love it in that bathroom! How about you? Are you a seafoam green kind of person?

Designers Rui Pereira and Ryosuke Fukusada took a look at how disconnected society has become with technology becoming more and more prevalent and decided to use fire as a means to bring people back together again. Their design,  Faro , is a fireplace that aims to increase socializing by having a place to gather around. The mini fireplace can be used indoors or outdoors with the use of an ethanol burner or regular wood for outside. Exploring materials such as red clay, hammered copper and aluminum, the design evokes a feeling of those traditional wood stoves.

The duo Daniel Debiasi and Federico Sandri make up Something , a design partnership based in London and Verona, Italy, and their latest creation is a lamp called Naica for Ligne Roset . Inspired by those old carbide lanterns that were used by miners, the lamp is a bit cave-like itself with a hollowed out space that softly reflects the light. The ceramic fixture diffuses the light that way creating a soft, surrounding glow. The lamp is available in solid white or with a red-colored cavity, both with a textile-covered cable that doubles as the handle.
