Six Different Ways | Thought Provoking Modern Design

Yesterday’s post got me thinking. Maybe our workspace don’t need to look so ordinary? These workstations by Derin Design completely redefine the workspace, making dreary cubicles a thing of the past. Called the Igloo Workstation, it features a unique shape that’s definitely more interesting than the traditional cubicle cube.

What I also like about the Igloo, though, is that it doesn’t completely depart for the idea of the cubicle. Each employee still has his or her own breathing space, but this time its far more visually exciting. See more here.

Tired of sitting in the same place all day? Well, now you don’t have too. While I can’t take today’s featured design too seriously, I can’t help but love the idea. Tired of your view or your neighbor? Simply move!

The Mobile Office is the work of Tim Vinke as a solution for those tired of sitting in the same spot day after day. A verity of interior elements can be added to the basic design. The mobile office is made of polystyrene with a hotspray coating. More here.

Though it can definitely be inconvenient, there is something really beautiful about rain. DCS Corp captures that in this new and unique collection of rain cloud lamps. Each lamp features made from Japanese paper called Washi.

The rain cloud lamps come in several different designs and as a pendant, table lamp, or a floor lamps. See more from DCS Corp here.

I’ve come to expect a lot from Kartell, and they never fail to impress me. Their latest collection, Bloom, is about as good at it gets and just in time for summer. A lavish cascade of crystalline flowers, these lights add a hint of mysticism to any space.

Bloom is available in several colors and styles ranging from totally transparent to opaque. Each is made of polycarbonate. A series of bulbs along the internal framework diffuses light off the petals for a captivating effect. Sure to be a focal point in any room!

Yes the are. But the better question is, will they bring you luck?

While I certainly can’t guarantee that, I can tell you that these will look great in your yard! These chairs are the work of Ron Arad for Driade. They \are great for outdoors, especially surrounded by greenery. And who knows they may just bring you some luck!
