So we all know going green is in, but here’s proof of how cool it is to be green.  From designer Indo Maurer comes the Early Future Lamp.  This is the first lamp of its kind to use organic LEDs (OLEDs). I’m sure we’ve all heard of LEDs by now, but what exactly are OLEDS? 

No worries, I’ve got you covered.  OLEDs are a made of a printed film from which light comes from the entire surface all at once.  OLEDs are not only environmentally friendly, but they allow for a light source that is lightweight, transparent, and two dimensional.  Here, Maurer takes advantage of this thin light source to create leaves of light. I suspect more great things will soon be coming from this.

Basically, if you need a place to sit (or a new, more stylish place to sit) you need to take a look at these sofas from Derin. This collection is characterized by simplicity and well defined lines.  I like pretty much everything about them, especially that they are modern enough to carry a room but not too over the top.  Above is the Slide Two and below is the Replay.  Enjoy!

Have you ever had that nightmare where you’re drinking a Triple Venti Nonfat Latte, but burn your hands on the thin paper cup? Sure they provide cardboard sleeves at our favorite coffee establishment to prevent this very tragedy, but what if one day they run out?  Well, now you can have your very own coffee cuff.  Put this around you coffee and rest assured that you can enjoy your morning jolt safely. It also doubles as a bracelet during iced coffee season.

The Coffee Cuff is made with reclaimed architectural veneer off cuts so it’s green enough for even the fair trade drinkers. 

With the Stack, Shay Alkalay challenges our preconception of what a chest of drawers should look like.  The Stack is completely different than your traditional chest of drawers. I like it party because it’s different, but also because it looks as great with the drawers left open as it does when they’re shut (and I’ve been known to leave all the dresser drawers open a time or two). I also think it would be really cool to store books in here since, well, it kind of looks like a stack of books from a distance.

We here at Six Different Ways love modern furniture and we aren’t afraid to yell it from the rooftops. Today, as I was looking around the internet for cool new modern things to show you, I came across some images of people who perhaps love the modern classics a little too much (which before today I wasn’t sure was possible).  I’m not here to judge, so that’s all I’m going to say… but I just had to show you these.  What do you think?

Truly versatile, the F2 Dining Table seems to have it all. A sleek modern look catches the eye, but what really makes it cool is its ability to practically just disappear. This could be a life saver for apartment dwellers or anyone with limited space.  It’s easy to fold up too. A single touch of a button, and its locking device is released. See more here.
