Colonel , the French interior design team comprised of Isabelle Gilles and Yann Poncele, has just launched its first furniture collection. The line of four pieces is inspired by the aesthetics of outdoor furniture, like those found at the beach, in the garden, or on camping trips. It’s a contemporary re-reading of a (perhaps) bygone era, evoking summer and relaxation.

This morning I came across the top image and my eyes were immediately drawn to the table at the end of the bed. It’s probable that I’ve seen a table in this spot before, but for some reason today it made me think “why?”
I absolutely love the mirrored table in the second image, but I can’t imagine a table at the end of my bed. In a realistic situation, like an everyday bedroom. What if you had a hot flash in the middle of the night and threw the covers over, knocking down beautiful candlesticks and accessories? Or what if that gorgeous table became my dog’s favorite sleeping spot?
It does look nice, but is it practical? Tell me what you think – do you love this look?

The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design , had one of the stand-out student stands of the Stockholm Furniture Fair . Wittily entitled New Bacon, it was styled by a team of six students (Mads Sætter-lassen, Eva Fly, Sanna Movafagh, Emil Krøyer, Mathias Wiik and Celina Hirsch Rolmar) to look like a butcher’s shop with products and information tags hanging from butcher’s hooks in a white-tiled environment. Twelve students had their work featured, including the Archilleus – Changing Habits Chair, by Harald Hermanrud , constructed from one single piece of rope: On a similar theme, Bending Days by Nanna Day Larsen, is made from hand-bent steel that is then welded and powder coated, to create a piece of furniture inspired by textiles and with an expression of lightness, that is nonetheless strong enough to hold the weight of the sitter

Admirers of the hipster hunting chic aesthetic associate the name Jason Miller with his ceramic antler sconces and chandeliers, though his Modo chandeliers are also all the rage among lighting lovers. However, this Brooklyn-based design master is also the maker of bone china with beautifully delicate gold chains, and furniture, both woolly and duct-taped. It’s no surprise that his Friday Five reveals a penchant for nature and earthy art

Green was a big trend at the Stockholm Furniture Fair ; from the color of products, to a genuine move to bring the outside in. “Grow” was no exception. Under the guidance of teachers Franz James and Asa Nystrom, furniture designer and guest curator Peter Andersson, landscape architect and guest critic Simon Irvine, students from University Gothenburg, Steneby Craft and Design, were challenged to find unexpected and playful ways to bring chlorophyll, oxygen and plants into people’s homes. Jacob Grant’s The Sound of the Forest (above) was inspired by findings that spending time in a leafy forest can reduce stress and mental illness and is a call to “bring trees inside.” Carl Johansson and Elias Malmberg created three stackable units to dry grown and foraged herbs, berries and peel preserving both their taste and their health benefits (above and below)

Portuguese designer Tó Martins is doing something with old washing machine parts you’d never have expected: he’s making lamps out of them . Using old washing machine drums, Martins creates a lamp — called Rewash — whose shade can be customized with just about anything you’d like. So far, he’s made them with fake grass, cork, measuring tapes, steel roses and tons of other materials
