The design of the Carat lamp is really clever: the polyhedron base allows the lamp to be turned and adjusted to various angles.

If you are thinking of achieving the maximum visual impact within a home without doing too much, color can be your best friend.

Living/ dining areas -before
Living/ dining areas - afterIn the living and dining areas, 'clashing' hues of orange, yellow, red and brown turn the once ho-hum interiors into an ultra hip and cozy chill-out pad. A bright orange sofa picks up the tone on the wall at the dining area, which is adorned with Warhol style paintings Due to the limited space available in the bedroom, a corner of this space is sectioned off as a work area. The customized TV system allows the TV to be adjusted and viewed from all corners.
Kitchen - before
Kitchen - afterIn the bedroom, things are kept simple and functional in view of the lack of space. A partition wall was erected to carve out a walk-in closet, with the remainder of the space taken up by the bed. The deep blue color used here injects a sense of tranquility. Not sure if Hello Kitty's happy with the choice of color though, ha.

'TATOOED' HOUSE BY ANDREW MAYNARD ARCHITECTS
Post under
architecture,
australia
This seems like a clever idea for house owners who want their interiors to take in as much natural daylight as possible - but not the harsh effects of sunshine. Andrew Maynard Architects installed decals in tree motifs onto the glass facade, diffusing the light and casting interesting shadows inside the house while providing privacy for the occupants all at the same time.

CLIPPING

Tezuka Architects planted a simple yet clever rectangular box in the middle of this house located in Japan to catch the skylight. The box also segregates the different parts of the house. Kudos!
"Departing from the traditional Swedish interior use of colour and patterns, developed by artists and architects like Carl Larsson and Josef Frank, this apartment also relates directly to the setting at the park Humlegården where the greenery outside changes with the season. From winter grey and black to summertime bright and deep green, to orange, red and yellow in autumn." Doesn't colors make our world wonderful? LinkStan

CLOUD BY D.K WEI

sofa
Cloud is a sofa concept based on magnetic forces: the soft floating upper part is supported solely by the magnetic force generated by the bottom base, thus creating the effect of sleeping or sitting on a cloud.

Tokyo designer Shige Hasegawa's Hana table comprises of five interlocking petal-shaped legs in plywood, slotted through a glass top. The result is much like an origami work in a furniture form. Nice!

Finally I see something that's quite inspiring in weeks. Designer Dante Bonuccelli took discarded keyboard elements and created the ultra stylish lounge chair Texte-ile. But I can only imagine the unique sensation of having those keys 'pressing' against one's body...

ANIMAL TABLES BY HELLA JONGERIUS
Post under

In the (superficial) modern design world, the term pretty can take on a pejorative cast. In the worst case scenario, when one says "That's so pretty!", you can read it as "It's just plain silly!". Link
