I feel an instant connection with Savannah College of Art and Design , or SCAD, because were were both born in the same year: 1978. It was a good year. In just 33 short years, SCAD has been able to build a global network of design students, teachers and enthusiasts all pursuing the passion of design education. Hey, look! It’s Bradley Bowers ! I wanted to get a ground-level view of SCAD’s mission to be a student-centered institution focused on providing an exceptional education and preparing students for professional careers in design

LUGI is a Czech furniture maker that makes custom pieces for architects and interior designers, but in 2011 LUGI launched its own collection of furniture under the supervision of Matej Chabera . More recently, they opened a furniture showroom in the renovated industrial building of a former coal mill. I was particularly taken with Barstool 02 , a solid ash stool with a creative detail.

Designer Yuval Tal has made a series of tables from wooden dowels wrapped with a metal ring called Chopped . The metal ring holds the wood pieces together so there’s no need for glue or screws. Made in three sizes, the tables’ surfaces have colored parts, inspired by color blindness tests. Each table has a uniquely designed top with grey, orange or green paint and lacquer.

I came across this photo the other night and keep going back to it. I can’t decide whether I love the curtain displayed over the bed or not. I like that it becomes the focal point of the room and is a bit of a surprise – but I think I would remove the mirror.

Also, the rest of the bedroom is done in a more modern design, so I’m not sure the curtain fits in with the flow. But again like I said – I keep pulling this image up to study it and determine what it is, so I figured I’d bring it here.

So – what do you think of this modern bedroom with the curtain over the bed? Do you love this look?

A modern and comfortable chair that folds up flat (less than 3/4″ thick!) in a matter of seconds? That’s crazy talk! The Folditure Leaf Chair , designed by architect Alexander Gendell, is perfect for small dwellers or people who want to have extra seating on hand. The folding chair is the ultimate in space saving in that it is super slim in design (when flat) and hangs up in a closet with its convenient hook. You hang it up like you would a coat hanger and the width of four chairs hanging is less than that of a winter coat! Cool, right? It’s made from a durable aluminum composite panel frame and stainless steel hinges and rivets.

Materials: old Ikea bed frame, single ikea duvet, Ikea Malin Vag fabric, plywood, staple gun, velcro cable ties Description: Did you know that 1 in 10 Europeans were conceived on an Ikea bed? Our little scamp is among that flat-packed-furniture-boot-knockin 10% so even though our bed had it’s fair share of battle scars & we really wanted a funky new frame, I decided to see what creative improvement I could come up with for sentimental reasons – & saved a few hundred euros in the process! As the old Ikea frame was still in excellent, no-squeaking, sturdy-enough-to-bounce-on condition I realized that all that was needed to add some more groove to our bedroom was a new head & foot board. Here’s the super simple penny pinching how-to
