Designed by Italian designer Davide Conti, the Magica and Magica 2 Chair appear to be magically standing on one leg. The Magica, the black chair, is designed to appear that it receives support from the back of the chair that extends down while the Magica 2, the white chair, zig-zags to theoretically gain support from the front of the chair. However, there are two transparent plexiglass pieces on each side of the chairs that sturdily support the body and make it usable.

Although the Magica Chairs are still in the conceptual phase, they would be a great way to fool friends at home or guests and passersby in restaurants and hotels.

Here’s a better look at the transparent plexiglass on each chair:

What do you think about the Magica Chairs? Would you be comfortable sitting in them?

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?

A fresh take on the table lamp, these table lamp silhouettes are wall mountable for a unique look. Made by Gumdesign for Zeroombra, an Italian design company, the Sognibelli lamps come in a variety of colors from bright purple and orange to simple black and white. The base of each lamp has a small shelf for accessories, such as eyeglasses, books or magazines. As an added eco-friendly bonus, Sognibelli lamps use LED lighting to save on the amount of electricity they rely on.

Made from aluminum, these fun wall lamps are a great fit above (or instead of) a bedside table or in a nursery next to a rocking chair. Where would you use the Sognibelli Lamps?

Remember Venn Diagrams? Even if you can’t recall what exactly they are for, you’ve definitely seen them before. And while they can certainly be useful, who knew they could also be art?

Swedish design firm Outofstick (cool name!) that’s who. This unique table features gorgeous hues in a fun, nesting design inspired by the Venn diagram. Each is constructed from colored waterjet-cut glass and iron legs.

A little nerdy but a lot of fun, who could see using these in there place?

Coffee tables are something you spend a lot of time looking at, and perhaps that explains why I am so fascinated by them. I always have my eye out for unique ones that are more than the rectangular norm. In fact mine is not a coffee table at all, but actually a trunk that easily opens for hidden storage space (yes!)

So it’s easy to see why the White Desert Coffee Table caught my eye. Designed by Karim Mekhtigian for Hid’n by La Roche, this linear table dips in the middle forming a bowl of sorts for fruit, candles, flowers, even a beer or two! I love the possibilities and the design looks pretty cool too.

What do you think – do you like an unique table like this or do you prefer something more traditional?

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 .
