Why are we obsessed with the Obsession Series by Kwangho Lee?

Because its made out of gardening hoses!

Following his motto “Ordinary objects can become something else,” Kwangho Lee leaves us wanting more. But no worries. Using just hoses and PVC tube, the South Korean designer has created an entire collection of chairs, sofas, coffee tables and more by weaving the hose together.

You see the process of how one braid turns into a sofa here.

Dave Hakkens has created Breaksoap , a new soap concept that removes hand pumps from the equation. Dave explains, “Most of the hand soap is replaced by soap pumps. However a lot of the soap pumps contain a lot of chemicals. The main reason why the hand pump was introduced is because it’s more hygienic and easier to use

The Pixa 1 table by Martin Schmitz of Hellauf is a simple white table, nothing exciting until — you look closely at its legs. The legs are made up of rotating squares that you can move in all kinds of directions for a fun, pixelated look. via Stilsucht © 2010 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Home Furnishings | Permalink | No comments | Tweet This | Share on Facebook

The Snakkes wall lamp is shaped like a speech bubble and also functions as a white board. Multiple functions and tongue-in-cheek design — what’s not to love?

I love Lorna Syson’s sculptural pillows and her new eco-friendly collection is launching at 100% Design in late September. The pillows are inspired by the British countryside in spring, particularly the shapes and colors created in the wild rural hedgerows. Lorna’s pillows are made in Britain with locally sourced and eco-friendly fabrics sponsored by Camira .

These would make a nice gift for the next party you attend, don’t you think?

Funny name, great lamps. Mammalampa is a Latvian brand that creates lighting apparently to declare gentle war on “making lamps differently without adapting, killing or violently beautifying materials.” My favorite are the “Bride” lamps designed by Ieva Kaleja, which have unique braided paper shades that look like something out of a fairy tale — like Rapunzel . It also reminds me of the Frisa lamp by Anika Engelbrecht

He can huff and he can puff as much as he wants, but the big bad wolf definitely won’t be able to blow down a house of concrete.

Designed by Spanish architect group A-cero, the Concrete House II is located just outside of Madrid. The outside walls are made of dark gray concrete and built with strips of grass between them to create the illusion that the house is actually part of land. With an indoor spa and swimming pool, home theater, wine room and parking garage, the Concrete House II is a luxurious retreat. Even some of the modern decor and furniture appears to be made from concrete!

A-cero’s blog tells us that the Concrete House II is a single story home that measures at 1600 square meters, which is about 17,222 square feet. Imagine living in a space that big. It would be great for a good ol’ game of hide-and-seek…

So what do you think – would you live in the Concrete House II?
