The beautiful Yara WL Chair by in-house designer Stefan Westmeyer for furniture manufacturer Girsberger is built from solid Oak or Ash an comes in either leather or fabric upholstery.
The mixing of the chair’s four legs (reminiscent of early Eames) and the seats modern styling and proportions make for one really elegant chair.
The Shelving System by Stuttgart, Germany based designer Daniele Luciano Ferrazzano is built from modular parts without the need for tools and fasteners. The parts simply slip together using gravity to hold everything tight. Perfect for everything from a bench to a TV console, to an entire wall of storage.
Revolver is a beautiful, modular storage system designed by the talented people at the London based design studio Henny van Nistelrooy. The system, based off a reversible shelf, was originally designed for the bicycle store Velorution in London but it quickly became apparent that there was a need for an elegant, modular shelving system for both retailers and consumers. The system is built from Douglas Fir and powder coated steel shelves and can be configured in any way.
Dana Cannam continues his amazing work with the Bravais Desk, a modular solid wood desk that can be arranged and customized to fit any working environment. What’s really amazing about the Bravais Desk is that it is all done with no hardware, much like the Clamp Lamp Cannam designed for Pablo earlier this year.
Samuel Wilkinson, the designer behind the Plumen bulb & Brit Insurance Design of the Year Award winner, has just released his newest project, Mantis, a modular desk system designed for London furniture manufacturer Case.
The desk features a number of modular, removable, accessories that allow the user to build the desk to fit their needs. The accessories include a drawer, file holder, and back panel that can be used as a pin up board and a privacy screen.
My Reading Chair, by Arunas Sukarevicius of Etc. Etc., is a beautiful chair designed with readers in mind. The two part chair, frame & slipcover, is hand crafted out of solid wood. The slipcover has pockets on the side that are perfect for holding a great book, magazine or even the remote.
The Twisted Tables by Dutch designer Erwin Zwiers are created by wrapping layers of wood veneer around a central shape, creating the look of tree slice & allowing the table to grow “organically.”
The Vito trestle table legs, designed by HeyTeam, a design collective of Claudia Ciarpella, Paolo Emili & Riccardo Paccaloni, is a brilliant set of table legs that attach to any solid surface. The legs screw into a metal band that wraps your table surface and clamps all the pieces together.
Love this really fun idea from designer Keiji Ashizawa. The Drawer Shelf is both a dresser and a shelf in one unit. Each independent drawer unit can be slid to create shelves of various heights and lengths to fit the needs of what you want to display. Drawer Shelf is a welcome step away from the typically mundane arena of dressers.
Be sure to check out Keiji’s other cool projects we’ve featured, Pipe Knot and Sly Box!
The Collection CONTRE by Bordeaux based designer Caroline Gomez is full of personality. The collection is made up of a myriad of beautifully crafted Beech wood items, two lights, two tables, a few shelving options, as well as some cutting and serving boards.
The entire collection has Gomez’s signature simplicity, including only what is needed and mixing it perfectly with a little sense of humor. All of the items can be bought directly through Gomez’s online shop, Mouta, and are reasonably priced.
