For the Gear Table from Ryan Matchett.

Manufactured for a hotel in Rwanda, the Gear Table is a chic contemporary table with clean, precise lines. The top is made out of MDF combined with walnut. The sharp shapes that create the gear pattern are cut with CNC technology. After the shape is in place, the wood is sealed with a walnut veneer.

You can see in the photo above that there are two pieces of wood cut into a gear shape and then offset for a dimensional effect. The base of the Gear Table is a mirror-polish stainless steel finish with adjustable rubber feet.

What do you think of the Gear Table?

Designed by Ron Gilad for Flos – Soft Architecture, Wallpiercing is an innovative and eco-friendly lighting fixture. Flos- Soft Architecture is a collection of contemporary lighting fixtures designed from sustainable materials.

Wallpiercing is made of color changing LEDs that allows for many different structures and color varieties.

The bright rings of Wallpiercing can also be arranged in custom designs, such as the colorful pattern seen above. How would you incorporate Wallpiercing into your decor?

Tuck yourself in the cozy Col-Letto Bed and then unroll yourself out in the morning. Normal sleepy-time terminology takes a different connotation with the Col-Letto Bed. The soft foam frame of the Col-Letto Bed folds up to tuck you in to a quiet and comfy sleep, or it unrolls and attaches to velcro to bring in open air, light and noise.

Designed by Nusa Jelenec for Italian furniture manufacturer Lago, the Col-Letto Bed is inspired by the collar of a turtleneck. The two-toned bed frame is available in a variety of colors to suit your bedroom decor. Matching nightstands that roll down or stay straight up are also available from Lago.

What do you think? Would you enjoy sleeping in the Col-Letto Bed?

Who knew that the ancient Japanese tradition of folding paper into origami would translate into folded stainless steel as a staircase?

Meet the Origami Stairs, made out of stainless steel and shaped into triangular facets to create a flight of stairs. The 6 millimeter thick stainless steel is supported by a glass banister that provides the illusion of floating steps.

Designed by Bell Phillips architects out of South London, the Origami Stairs were created for a client that needed to join two flats together.
