While floor lamps aren’t known for taking up a lot of space, I’m always interested in space-saving designs. The appropriately named Corner Lamp by Roberto Cardenas does just that, with a design that’s made to fit perfectly in the corner.  I’ve posted before about ideas the make so much sense that it’s baffling no one has thought of them before (ok I’m a little obsessed with these), and Cardenas clearly brings us another one with the Corner Lamp.A simple idea with a beautifully simple design- this is on my must have list.

My favorite part about this chair is that I can’t decide what about it is more interesting – its look or the way in which it’s constructed.  The Peacock Chair is made of three sheets of felt on a minimal metal frame.  The folds of the felt are woven tightly together for a structured look and comfortable feel, yet what makes this really interesting to me is that it’s all done with no weaving, sewing, or upholstery involved.  This Chair was designed by Studio Dror for Cappellini.

There have been a lot of images floating around the blogosphere from the Milan Furniture Fair, and this is one that seems to have gotten a lot of attention. Its appeal is undeniable, it’s just hard to put a finger on why.Perhaps it’s the bold colors, the cool style of its recliners, or just its overall fun look. Check it out for yousef – designed by Michael Kruijne for Zuiver.

Maybe you like to have your own furniture when you travel, or maybe you just move as much as I do.  Whatever the reason you need to have extremely portable furniture, you no longer have to sacrifice style to do it. Blofield makes it possible to take your Chesterfield-style sofa everywhere…. Really.

This inflatable sofa is available in one seater, two seater, or three seater sizes to enhance your apartment, dorm, or maybe even patio by the pool.  Not sure how comfortable it would be, but pretty damn cool nontheless. Check it out here.

A few weeks ago I blogged about a table from Tom Dixon. Well, now I’m back to bring you images of some of their spectacular lighting.  These lights pretty much speak for themselves, so I won’t distract you with superfluous words of admiration, which they clearly don’t’ need.

A big part of the appeal of any meal is presentation.  Most of us though (at least I think it’s not just me), don’t really concern ourselves with the presentation of meals we prepare at home. It’s not a big enough deal that I would worry about it, but with this simple, affordable solution from Absolute Appetite I think it’s time we quit making excuses.

The Zest Gourmet Plates give the illusion of a perfectly planned out plate design with none of the work. I don’t expect any of us to be completely fooled here. We all know that’s not a delicious concoction of chocolate and baileys with those berries, but hey it looks good.  And that’s what matters… when it comes to serving food at least.
