Drawers that act as Briefcases by Jung-Ah Kim

2 Jan

Designed by Jung-Ah Kim this smart design combines the usefulness of a desk drawer with the portability of a suitcase. The concept includes 3 drawers that act as briefcases.  Rather than having to pack up whatever it is you need before you leave the office, you can just pull out whichever drawer you need and carry it home. This idea could be very useful for someone who is always is a hurry …to bad that this idea is just a concept for now. – Via

Modern White Bathroom : Light by Arlexitalia

2 Jan

For those of you who own a big home, and want an interesting idea for a minimalist bathroom here is something that Arlexitalia just released, a new bathroom collection called Light. AS you can see from these pictures the new collection is characterized by clear lines of design, a lot of white and simplicity. This minimalist bathroom is made from a high-tech material called Alicrite, and the collection is available in 3 colours: black, white and bicolour. One thing I have to say about this totally white bathroom design …things could get dirty very quickly with so much white. – Via

Graffititek Bookshelf By Charles Kalpakian

2 Jan

Designed by French designer Charles Kalpakian and based on Parisian Graffiti art, the bookcase aims to offer new perspective on the craft by reinterpreting it in a three-dimesional way. Light lamps that bear a resemblance to the books not only help you find books in the dark but bestow a tender setting to your home. This bookcase might look like a mess, but besides helping you to choose a book in the dark they also create a very dramatic effect. The bad part is that this bookcase is more for design, and less as a space to store a big collection of books. – Via

Fun Customizable Chair for Children

2 Jan

The Chairfix Junior for children is fun in two ways. First you get to customize the design. When the flat pack chair is delivered, you and your child get to put it together! The chair is actually cut out from a plywood sheet. Leave it plain or have it brightly coloured. It’s your choice!

The Chairfix Junior is the brainchild of designer Ben Wilson. It is available from Buisjes En Beugels. When the child outgrows the chair, the wood can be recycled. – Via

A Christmas Tree Like You’ve Never Saw Before

27 Dec

I didn’t wanted to post new stuff on Freshome this Christmas, because these days I have a lot of things to do, especially a few books that I want to read ( 3 of them are already done ), but had to post about this unique Christmas tree idea created by Jane Schouten from All the Luck in the World. The Christmas Tree is made from useless but pretty objects that Jane collected over the years, and is a really unique idea for Christmas. Finally …is a little bit late, but Merry Christmas !

The Wheatsheaf House by Jesse Judd

24 Dec

wheatsheaf-house-1 The Wheatsheaf House by Jesse Judd

I never thought that a house with red and orange in excess could appeal that much. Outside of Daylesford in Victoria, Australia, the Wheatsheaf House by Jesse Judd draws inspiration from old plywood caravans and bus shelter. With simple lines and an amazing way of using steel, laminated glass and plywood cocoon, the house manages to blend really well with the striking natural scenery by adding to its beauty. Looks like a warm place in the heart of the woods if you ask me, and a great holiday retreat at the same time. Magical! Do you like it? [via DesireToInspire]

Modular Flooring From Recycled Leather Belts

24 Dec

woman Modular Flooring From Recycled Leather Belts You wouldn’t think from looking at the flooring from TING London that the modular tiles are made from vintage leather belts until you notice the characteristic belt holes. The amazing flooring looks so luxurious with the added bonus that no two tiles are alike. The tiles work out to $75 per square foot. The environmentally friendly approach extends to the use of reconstituted leather backing with a water-based glue.

Inghua Ting is the designer behind the company who responded to the challenge of producing sustainable designs. She not only designs for the home but also has other accessory collections. – Via

Is the Architecture Fun Over Or Just Getting Started?

23 Dec

ouroussoff image

Nicolai Ouroussoff writes about architecture in the New York Times that “It Was Fun Till the Money Ran Out“-that before the financial cataclysm,

the profession seemed to be in the midst of a major renaissance. Architects like Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid, Frank Gehry, and Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, once deemed too radical for the mainstream, were celebrated as major cultural figures. And not just by high-minded cultural institutions; they were courted by developers who once scorned those talents as pretentious airheads.

But what about now, that the only money for building will b…

20 Dec

fisher-residence-manhattan-beach

Luxurious living – something that we can’t afford but damn it we dream of it – it’s what this modern, three-storey house in Manhattan Beach, California, is all about. With a stunning view over the Palos Verdes Peninsula in Malibu, the house manages to pack a small but luxurious backyard in the tight space, a lush living space with large floor-to-ceiling windows, numerous skylights,  an amazing pool and an elevator – that’s a pretty high building out there.. Designed by MAP Development & Aidlin Darling Design, if you were asking, this dream house sells for $5.6 million.

Moara Sofa : Beautiful, But Practical?

20 Dec

moara-sofa

Upholstered with a matchless fabric, Moara is an amazingly designed sofa that will get your guests wow when seeing it the first time. Hell, it will get you wow, too. It’s not only the unique form or the lavish floral pattern (which we usually expect to see on the walls) that gets us, but the fact that even it’s not rounded or anything, Moara looks pretty comfy. Designed by Jan Čtvrtník It comes in various colors and textures, so if you want to put it up in your living room, it’s available at Polstrin. [via Momoy]
