The Air is a new product from Radius Design that reminds me of a picnic table, but modern. It’s available in a few crazy colors, too. ©2010 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Home Furnishings | Permalink | No comments | Tweet This | Share on Facebook More Milk: Art Milk | Dog Milk  Read More →

Jason Fox owns Purpose Restoration , a furniture design company that not only saves old pieces from going to the landfill, but makes them into one-of-a-kind modern treasures. He also creates custom pieces featuring his own artwork, which is inspired by graffiti and Japanese tattoo art. An ugly TV stand is transformed into a kitchen cart — I wouldn’t have thought of that!  Read More →

Dutch designer Joris Laarman will unveil new works at Friedman Benda tonight, including his Leaf Table (above) and a number of other works. If his name sounds familiar to you, he is the designer behind the bone furniture we featured back in 2007. The bone furniture algorithm revolutionized design back in 2006 — it translated the complexity, proportion and functionality of human bone and tree growth into a chair form. What: New work by... 

These bread furnishings by Enoc Armengol make me so hungry. The concept behind them is that they can be a part of the living process because they can be eaten. In addition, they reflect the production process of certain non-edible objects: fast and having a short life before they become obsolete. I think they definitely beat candy necklaces.

[ Filed under Tableware or in the Furnishings category ] Circular forms are a clear choice for storing the rounded forms of fruits – but these creative modern design ideas are anything but obvious. For starters, when someone asks you to pass them this vertical wooden fruit ‘bowl’ just give it a nudge and send it rolling their way – just don’t slip while sliding them the bananas! This nifty set of wood, metal and... 

Asif Khan’s Harvest is a project that focuses on the use of London’s plant life as a raw material for everyday products and it’s part of a show called “ Designers in Residence ” at the Design Museum London . It reminds me a lot of a furniture version of the Chia Pet ! Photography by James Moriarty.

I saw the Creator Series on Designspotter and thought wow these are just too cool not to share. I just love the contrast between the playfulness of the legs and the dark solemn top. ©2010 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Home Furnishings | Permalink | 1 comment | Tweet This | Share on Facebook More Milk: Art Milk | Dog Milk  Read More →

Could the ultimate conference room table be made of Lego blocks? If you think about it, meetings are design to solve the most basic of problems by “building” a solution so perhaps this type of design approach is fitting. If you attend a lot of meetings like me the harsh reality is that they are often not quite so productive. I could at least appreciate the Lego handiwork if it were in the conference room. Via . Post from Ultimate... 

The way Gareth Neal’s American walnut wood table is constructed reminds me of a corrugated cardboard piece’s innards. ©2010 Design Milk | Posted by Catrina in Home Furnishings | Permalink | 2 comments | Tweet This | Share on Facebook Facebook – United States – Design Milk – Business – Social Networks  Read More →

[ Filed under Tables & Stands or in the Furniture category ] Flat pack (or knock down) usually refers to ready-to-assemble furniture that comes in pieces with some assembly required – setting this design object apart from the standard IKEA fare, as it does not require additional fasteners, bits, pieces, tools or time to put together. This versatile folding desk, display counter or kitchen table by Robert Haslbeck comes ready-to-go... 

Michael Bihain’s newest product is the X-Table.

Aaron clued me in to designer Zoe Mowat . Wowzas. This girl has created some beautiful pieces — and I love the cubbie elements included in her Desk Buddy and Contain Desk.

[ Filed under Lamps & Lights or in the Furnishings category ] Generally fan art comes in the form of drawings, sculptures, digital renderings and the like – a little less often it takes the form of furniture objects like this light that pays tribute to the classic AT-AT Walker from the original Star Wars movies. It looks a bit like a long-legged wooden side table at first, but …  Read More →

[ Filed under Recycled or in the Furniture category ] Bowling lanes are built to last – but their creators probably never have this kind of creative reuse in mind. Demolition on the way, someone clever thought to recycle these rather stylish sport floors into home furniture objects that may be right up your alley. Beams and other wooden structural supports are also fair game. Created of a thick boards stacked vertically and packed closely,...
