We have a clue about Furniture

Ceremony by Bruno Rainaldi for SLAMP is reminiscent of a skirt or the drape of a neckline. Feminine and soft, its undulating shades feel naturally elegant yet distinctly modern.

Materials: Expedit + dice (a lot of them) Description: Recently we decided to beef up our bland Ikea furniture a bit. The victim was an Expedit rack that we use as a hi-fi rack in our living room. I am a huge fan of pixel art and would cover my whole apartment in 8-bit if I could. Anyhow, as we wanted it to be something that is functional and nice to look at, we decided the only reasonable thing to do is to cover the whole rack with a curtain of dice

Can you imagine having this coffee table in your living room? It would instantly be the talk of any party, or even when someone stopped by for a quick visit.
Designed by Axel Yberg of Akke Functional Art, this structural modern coffee table, named the Reverse Dowry, was made as a gift for his mother-in-law. Reverse Dowry is made from oiled recycled ipe wood, stainless cable, aluminum and glass for the top. I think Akke Functional Art couldn’t be a more perfect name – because that’s exactly what it this table is – functional art!
In addition to the Reverse Dowry, Axel Yberg has recently added 13 new pieces to his website, which are even more awesome than this coffee table – if that was even possible!
Head over to his website to check them out – you won’t be disappointed!

Materials: VANVIK bed (full), SARALISA, MINNA, & DITTE yard fabric, cording for piping, velcro, sewing machine, electic staple gun, and hours of measuring, pinning, and sewing! Description: A few years ago, IKEA released the VANVIK bed frame featuring curved black metal legs, adorned by a slipcover featuring the LEABY black & white floral print that was originally introduced in the EKTORP slipcover. I immediately fell in love with this bed, and was fortunate enough to purchase the floor model at the end of it's existence in the IKEA range. Sadly this version is now discontinued, but its sister version in white with a tailored bed skirt is still available. The curved lines, and the metal feet were the qualities that initially attracted my liking to this piece of furniture.

If you had to absolutely choose between one or the other – which would you rather – a chandelier or a drum? And where would you put it?
Chandeliers come in so many different varieties – some ginormous, some smaller, some colored, some clear and sparkly. The one thing I would never choose in a chandelier is lights that look like big fake candles. It just takes away from the glamour effect of a chandelier, if you ask me. Also, I know many kinds of lights are referred to as chandeliers, but for me, I think of beautiful chandeliers in the image above when I think of chandeliers – not anything beaded or crazy like that. Now I’m not saying those aren’t considered chandeliers – just not what immediately comes to mind, ya feel?!?!
So what about drum lights? I have one hanging about my kitchen table and I love it. It’s just a plain linen, not as dramatic as the black shade shown above. But, sometimes you just can’t beat the clean, modern look that a drum shade brings into a room.
So, if push came to shove, I would rather have a chandelier. How about you??

We’ve featured products by industrial designer David Fox numerous times: Kruze lounge chair, Kavern bed, and Pollen seating system. His pieces are refined and distinctly geometric. As a former graffiti artist with a background in automotive design, we were interested to see just what makes this award-winner tick. His Friday Five reveals a mix of basics, classics, relaxation, and innovation. 1.

Every where you turn, everyone’s talking about the holidays! There are tons of DIYs for decorations and centerpieces, but how about gift wrap? I like the thought of personalizing paper. Wouldn’t you feel even more special if you received a gift with DIY wrapping paper? I certainly would, and I think it would definitely add even more to the joys of gift giving.
In the latest issue of Sweet Paul Magazine, there are plenty of great and easy ideas for creating your own gift wrap. All you need is plain wrapping paper and you can likely use many things that you have – such as crayons, paint, stamps, craft paper, markers – to create your own work of art.
Then, of course, there’s the labels! I’m loving these DIY glitter labels from Ambrosia Creative. They look easy to make and add the perfect amount of sparkle!
Will you be making your own wrapping paper and / or labels this holiday season?
