Prices begin at $6500, which is pretty steep but if you have it, this has to be among the coolest ways to spend it (if you already have this awesome pool of course).

This is certainly like nothing I’ve ever seen before.  While I can’t deny that it’s a bit strange, it’s also pretty brilliant.  These breathtakingly unique pieces come from Sarah Louise Dix Couture Upholstery, which offers top quality design and upholstery inspired by the form of clothing which it applies to quality vintage furniture.  Each design is individually crafted for the piece of furniture it is integrated with, giving already beautiful vintage pieces even more high end style.

As someone who types on a keyboard all day long (as I’m sure a lot of you do to), the Keyboard Bench instantly caught my attention. This bench is made of Baltic birch and is embedded with two thousand computer keys that you can actually press, though don’t expect any words to show up on your monitor.

The Interactive Wolfgang Keyboard Bench, as it is officially called, is the work of Nolan Herbut. Herbut is a student of Industrial design at the University of Alberta and considers his biggest strength the ability to incorporate outside influences and inspiration like friends, family and other outside factors into his designs.

What a stunning lamp!  This piece instantly caught my eye, and the more I found out about it the more I liked it.  First, it’s called Petals and designed by Gülnur Özdaglar. Second, and truly impressive I have to say, the round clear “petals” you see are actually made from used soda bottles. The petal like structures within the circles are made from cutting, heating, and hand drawing. Absolutely amazing.  See more from the talented designer here.

Have a great weekend, and as always more great design finds coming on Monday!

After digging out of a foot of snow this morning, the question everyone seems to be asking today is “is it summer yet?!”  So naturally when I came upon these awesome lounges from Tucci I felt the need to share them with you.  I like pretty much anything summer related, but there’s no denying the style and luxurious appeal of these lounges.  I mean who wouldn’t want to be sitting there right now!

Pictured here are the Tucci Java Lounge and Tucci Crescent Lounge.  Tucci specializes in shade and combining it with style.  Their products are designed to hold up in any environment and of course to look good.  Learn more about Tucci here.

The latest issue of Architectural Digest is all about transparency.  Crystal clear and effortlessly brilliant, I’m a big fan of this simple and striking look. Arch Digest has picked ten fabulous images of transparent furniture used at its best.

Today, I’ve decided to share three that are not only my favorites, but also illustrate transparent furniture’s impressive range. Here we see it outside, which is probably its most expected use, in a serene bedroom, and probably most unexpected as part of an elegant table setting (where it also totally works!). Head over to Arch Digest to learn more and to see more fabulous uses of transparent furniture.
