Nendo paired with the Czech glassmakers, Lasvit, to create a collection of hand-blown glass lighting and objects. This is Nendo’s first foray into the glass world and the pieces are quite beautiful. Each piece is unique with slight variations, as that’s the unpredictability of them being hand-blown. The forms are striking, yet elegant all while remaining simple in their overall shape.

Well, Brooklyn-based industrial designer Michael Bambino took that idea and flipped it on its head with his Tambour Table. It’s a desk/computer table that looks like your average work table. Not so…

The wood gets cut up lengthwise and put into a mold to form the frame and legs of the piece.

Caricature as Furniture by 56thStudio. The new line of chairs are kitschy, comical, and most definitely, quirky. The studio is clearly inspired by pop culture and brings a taste of it to each piece. The bold chairs come in yellow, black or white and are incredibly fun to look at.

The project is run by professors and students whose goal is to re-evaluate design practices and let the young designers create at their own pace, much like plants growing in soil. “epilogue – prologue” is their latest project of nine designs in which they not only think about the beginning of an idea (prologue) but they also consider the end product (epilogue).

I’ve got my eye on Sander Mulder’s latest lamp called Cyclops (har har). Inspired by illogical placed and/or operating switches for lighting, the Cyclops lamp is minimalist and yet can do so much. You pull the “eye” downward to turn it off and back up to turn it on.
