Any graphic designer will appreciate these CMYK pillows from Thomas Dabner. These pillows first reminded my of a Pantone swatch book, but in fact Dabner said he actually designed them from designers who share his frustration with low running ink – and knowing you have no new cartridges left.
Each CMYK pillow is printed on 100% 230gr/m² cotton and is washable at 80 degrees Celsius without fading. See more here.
It’s time to start thinking outdoor parties, and I’ve got just what you need. The Garden Party Table, designed by Alain Gilles, has both a cool look and a smart functional design. Its center has a built-in cooler perfect for whatever it is you’re celebrating with. What more do you need?!
The stools in the image are pretty cool too right? Notice the hook under the seat, yup it’s for your purse! These come from Cedric Ragot
Despite having a large empty desk and a room at home devoted entirely to being an office space, my laptop pretty much lives on my coffee table. I’m not really sure why, it just always winds up this way – probably has something to do with constantly multitasking.
Luckily someone at Sony must have been experiencing the same thing. The Sony Fusion is a coffee table with a built in laptop! A simple push of a button converts the table into a work station with a touch sensitive keyboard and adjustable screen. It’s not available yet, but this brilliant concept is expected to be in production soon, in three different colors and around $3000.
Ok I know this is not a kitchen blog, but this design is so smart I just couldn’t pass up on sharing it with you. Called the Accordion Folding Cook Table, this modular counter is perfect for small kitchens. What I wouldn’t have given to have this in my first apartment!
The Accordion Folding Cool Table features triangle drawers the pop out from its folds, as well as sliding counter tops and additional drawers on each side. The drawer covers cane be rotated and used as prep boards! When you’re done preparing the meal, simply pull up a few stools and you’re ready to go! Simple but brilliant in my opinion.
