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.

Oh, yes, this bed from Lago caught my eye earlier this week and I’m in LUV. The bed features adjustable sides that can act as a headboard, bed cover when guests are over, or even create a cave-like feeling when you’re lying in bed. I also love the nightstands that look like they’ve been unzipped

If there was a spectrum of tattoo-inspired designs, Ed Hardy would be on one and and Corita Rose on the other. Corita Rose is a British company that designs chairs, sofas, pillows, curtains and fabric all inspired by iconic, graphic designs that range in influence from the medieval to classic tattoo flash art. I like the vibrant colors and fun graphics — I think it could add a pop of fun into any room…maybe starting with just a pillow?
