Interior Design Sense

This mirrored acrylic lamp called Mini Pinecone is among the cool products Jonas Loenborg, a designer living and working in Copenhagen, designs and develops. The pendant lamp is 30cm at it’s widest point and 40 cm tall and is made of 152 parts. This intricate item boasts a very attractive and unique design instantly turning it into a statement piece. The plan is to develop this lamp in a series of acrylic types, but we are really liking the glamor of the mirrored acrylic so far. See other variations below.

There’s something about cowhide and there’s definitely something about this Hirche cowhide lounge chair that’s attractive and appealing and that we just have to share. This lounge chair was originally designed by Herbert Hirche in 1953, but it was never put into production until 2000 by Richard Lampert. Originally designed as a leather chair, now it is available in all sort of materials and the one we loved most … cowhide. Cowhide is cozy, soft and warm yet quite tough and rugged at the same time. The pattern and texture of it is always interesting and able to enhance any interior scheme. With regards to this modern chair, we feel the cowhide provides a striking contrast to the shape and unique metal frame of the lounge. Details at Richard Lampert.

We instantly fell in love with these unusual wall wiles by Pelle Pietra. A collaboration between stone producer FMG Shapes, leather producer Prodital Leather and designer Raffaello Galiotto, these unusual, inspiring materials come together to offer a range of looks and styles.

The current offering of five designs – “Piuma” (“Feather”), “Quadro” (“Painting”), “Marea” (“Tides”), “Tondo” (“Circle”) and “Orma” (“Track”) – offers a sampling of the range of looks, and if you like what you see, don’t worry – more is in the works. Each design comes in a choice of stone types, which can even be back-lit for added futuristic flair. Check out these modern 3D wall tiles by visiting Pelle Pietra.

The Erosion flush shower base by Dna + has a minimalist look that works beautifully in any contemporary style bathroom. This modern shower features installation that’s flush to the floor, offering a seamless step into the shower enclosure. The gentle dip of the shower floor makes us think of the slow wearing away of stone at the constant drip, drip, drip of water – hence its name. And the smooth design of this sophisticated shower is matched by its silky finish, made of EON Solid Surface material available in Pure White matte or glossy, and accented with rich Wenge lattices on either side. A chic little dish (optional) perched to the side of the base is the perfect spot to organize your bathing lotions and potions. More information is available by visiting Dna +.

The Papillon sofa bed by Bonaldo gets a fresh new makeover – honeysuckle pink for 2011. Taking their cue from Pantone’s declaration that Honeysuckle is the color of the year, Bonaldo dresses up Papillon in an exciting, warm pink hue. This famous sofa bed can be folded and moulded into the position of your choice to accommodate sitting, lounging and even sleeping. In its upright position, one can understand Papillon’s name – its shape resembling a butterfly wing. It is equipped with the choice for a variety of covers, including this version in pink, that are easily applicable and washable. This sofa’s simple form yet versatile quality is what makes it so attractive, but we agree that the new pink slip cover adds an exciting element. Visit Bonaldo for more information.
