Tyler Jones sent me a link to his portfolio, which is full of beautifully crafted handmade furniture. Tyler says, “I loved contemporary furniture but most of what I saw was made in a factory with cheap materials. The pieces were pretty much guaranteed to fall apart in a few years. So I set out to design furniture that was relevant to us today, but that would remain beautiful and functional for generations to come.” Share This: Twitter | Facebook | Discover more great design by following Design Milk on Twitter and Facebook . © 2011 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Home Furnishings | Permalink | 1 comment

Paddle is a collection of adjustable LED task lights designed by Benjamin Hubert for Italian lighting manufacturer Fabbian launching in Euroluce during Salone next month. Paddle was inspired by the 360 degree movement of a canoe blade through water, therefore the lamp has a multitude of functional uses. To allow for maximum usability in a variety of working environments. The high brightness LED light source and capacitive touch control is contrasted with a tactile range of material to soften the technology and create a more human range of products

Fascinated by the history of Viennese Silver, Thomas Feichtner created a fruit bowl for the renowned Wiener Silber Manufactur . Rather than opting for the traditional rounded bowl body, Feichtner chose to put the fruit on a pedestal. It appears as though the fruit might tumble down the sides where the legs have been formed, but instead it becomes wedged
