Zieharsofika, by Meike Harde, shows new methods of upholstery construction, aiming to create a stiff cushion from a flat foam mat. By re-thinking cushioning techniques, the project uses conventional rubber foam mats which, with the help of elastic bands, come out as an ornamental form.

Porcelain Lamp, by Studio EM.

Inspired by the shipyards of Rotterdam, this lamp is adjustable in height with a pulley system. While the use of black porcelain gives this old mechanism a sturdy new look, the pastels make the material look soft and fresh. The optional counterweight of each lamp is custom made to ensure a perfect balance in weight.

It’s getting darker again here in Sweden, so naturally I am looking for beautiful lamps or glowing objects to fill my apartment with and to keep the dark out. The Vessels are emphasising the look of the Plumen from every different angle. The designs were produced specifically to complement the flowing forms of the Plumen 001. When illuminated the glass tint mutes the light without hiding the form and produces an unexpected irregular reflection that appears holographic. To see more work by Samuel Wilkinson, go here.

Designed by Dana Cannam in collaboration with Studio Agata Karolina, Hummingbird is a contemporary take on a classic rocking chair. Through an ergonomic study of office seating and traditional rockers, Hummingbird facilitates both work and relaxation. Would love to try it. To get more info about it go here.

Those different pieces of furniture, called Mutation, by Maarten De Ceulaer, look like they weren’t made by hands, but have grown to their present form organically. They might be the result of a mutation in cells, or the result of a chemical or nuclear reaction. Perhaps it’s a virus or bacteria that has grown dramatically out of scale. The Mutation pieces make you look at furniture in a different way. Maybe one day we would be able to grow a piece of furniture like we breed or clone an animal, and manipulate it’s shape like a bonsai tree. To see more work, go here.

Dutch photographer Fien Muller and artist Hannes Van Severen launched a clear-cut furniture collection including storage boxes, tables, racks and lamps. I love this combination seat. Not only would I like to have one of those in my home, but I would also enjoy seeing it in every shrinks office. To see more of Muller van Severen’s work, go here.

Farming Net, by Tokyo based design studio nendo, is a collection of sculptural objects made of heat-formed agricultural nets ordinarily placed around fruit and vegetables to prevent them from being harmed. My personal favorites are the lamps that seem to float in the air due to their super light weight. To see more of this particular collection, go here.

The concept behind this cozy looking Stack easy chair, designed by Italian based studio Skrivo, comes from the idea of having cushions in constant motion that look like they have been stacked randomly on top of each other. Placing multicoloured polyurethane upholstered cushions on a mild steel structure creates the perception of depth and playfulness. Two tubular steel rods add additional aesthetic detail as well as structural support for the birch wood legs. To see more products by Skrivo, go here.

Object-O is Seung Yong Song’s secret space where she feels comfortable and protected. Better than in a huge mansion, the coziness of this space functions like a bird’s nest. – And considering the lack of light here in Stockholm, this wonderful piece of furniture would make a great object for light therapy. Love it! Also, check out her other work here.

Those lovely drawers, by German designer Valentin Loellmann, caught my eye when browsing for furniture online. I like its sculptural quality combined with its functionality. I wouldn’t mind having one of those in my bedroom. To see more work by Loellmann, visit his website here.

Since it is quite dark in Stockholm at this time of the year, I am always on the lookout for lamps that could brighten up my life in some way. Muffins, by Dan Yeffet and Lucie Koldova are a series of lamps I’d like to have in my living room. Check out their websites for other beautifully designed objects.

Finally I found a solution for my kitchen. Light Forest, by Ontwerpduo, is turning ugly looking ceiling wires into a lovely installation. It can be used as a wall or ceiling lighting system. The possibilities are unlimited. The design consists of different parts, which can be connected in lots of different ways. Step by step the lighting system will “grow” across the space.

Pleat Box has come about through the first-ever collaboration between Xavier Mañosa, a master ceramicist from Barcelona, and the Mashallah design studio in Berlin with Marset. The box pleat series is a collection of 3 lamps simulating a textile silhouette with ceramic. The fall of a box pleat was digitally simulated and then assigned into different lamp shades. – Love em.

Ushanki, designed by the Ukraine based designers Valeriy Kuznetsov, Katerina Kuznetspva and Karnaukh Illarion, is a shelf lamp available in three different sizes called shelf-dad, shelf-mom, and shelf-son. The form of Ushanki is inspired by former national Ukrain caps and their earflaps. I like the somewhat cartoonish shape of this lamp and how it illuminates the items stored in it. If you’d like to see more of their work, go here.

Stitching concrete is a series of stools, designed by Florian Schmid, made of a new material called Concrete Canvas. It combines the softness of cloth with the stability of concrete. Once brought in the final shape, you just have to water the material and within 24h it will alomst harden out completely.
