We have a clue about Furniture

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.

The TamTam is a new lamp designed by Fabien Dumas inspired by a roster of interesting imagery: a juicy bunch of grapes; Nick Mason’s drums from Pink Floyd; the constellation of Perseus. Archetypal lampshades are geometrically arranged to invoke a feeling of organized chaos. There’s a large central shade in lacquered aluminum, to which various smaller satellite shades are attached, all with opalescent, methacrylate diffusers over the open end to soften the light. The smaller shades can be rotated through 350 degrees using a swivel mechanism.

Materials: Lack TV bench & Lack Side Table Description: We had a lack TV bench which held a 36″ CRT tv and it didn’t hold up well, bowing the top piece of the bench. The Lack bench was also damaged by water when the basement leaked. When we moved and switched to an LED tv I wanted a sleek stand to go with it. I really enjoy furniture which appears to float, so I wanted to create something out of some pieces I had lying around (I didn’t know Ikeahackers existed at that point)

Brand new housewares company JDWilks Fineware has debuted its first collection: A peppy line of contemporary-meets-vintage placemats. Each set (there are three) are made out of cork and board from sustainable forests ad printed with eco-friendly inks. Dad’s Cooking is a tongue-in-cheek design suggesting some may opt for altogether different eating implements. In addition to the simple knife and fork, there are three other pairings: wrench and ax, trowel and spade, and hammer and hacksaw, all silhouetted in black on a green and black plaid background. Barcelona Tiles draws on the beautiful tile designs of its namesake city that were created during the late 19th and early 20th centuries
