The Swedish design company Front has created the Chameleon Cupboard for the Italian company Porro . The storage piece is considered a “magic volume” with its ability to change appearance whenever you open and close it, reminding me of the Jacob’s ladder toy. The unit is covered in fine leather that works as a hinge to allow you to change its look from black to white depending on your mood. The piece houses drawers and shelves made of pear wood, perfect for your clutter needs in the bedroom or living room.

Ondule is a slip-covered chair by French designer Mattis Esnault that arose from a call for projects from the French design schools. Undulating waves of foam and Kvadrat fabric form a skin-like layer on top of the solid chair form. According to the designer, the chair is an exploration of sound waves and frequency as well as the potential of the materials.

How genius is this 2012 Rocking Chair Sculpture Calendar by Katsumi Tamura for Good Morning, Inc.? It is designed to sit on your desk and it even rocks back and forth like a real rocking chair. The design is meant to symbolize a relaxing way to measure the passage of time, i.e., rocking. The current month sits on the back of the chair while the other months are stored on the seat.
