3 Sep

Remember those desks we had in elementary school with the space inside for notebooks and pencils? Well this beautiful Knu desk may make you nostalgic, but trust us, it’s a lot better than your workstation of yore. Made of FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified wood and finished with an extremely tough environmentally friendly catalyzed varnish, it has cubbies for envelopes, a laptop (up to 17”), folders, paper, CDs, and whatever else you need to store. It even comes with a handy pencil drawer made from recyclable injection molded plastic, and its production is 100% carbon-offset.

Elegant Chair, Couch and Bookcase in a Single Furniture Piece

22 Jun

“Bucefalo” comes from Emanuele Canova and is a project with a triple function: it can be a chair, a couch and also a bookcase. What we consider to be  extremely fascinating is the fact that its functionality doesn’t stand in the way of its impeccable design. Classy and elegant, this furniture piece fits wonderfully in a stylish contemporary home. Once integrated in an interior, it will probably become the room’s focal point. A subtle book shelving system is located below the seating area which provides enough storage space for a small reading arrangement. The design is available in black and white and some models feature wood finishes. The complementary pillows add charm without affecting the overall soberness of the product. -via Totonko

Three Great Print Ads That Use Famous Buildings

16 Jun

I know that here on Freshome we focus mostly on interior design, furniture and architecture, but from time to time I find some stuff that are really cool and I just want to post them. One of these things that I’ve found today and is a little bit related to what I usually post here on Freshome is this print campaign produced by Publicis for Renault. The ads are really well done, combining photography with some mad Photoshop retouching skills. The editorial is simple and to the point on all of the ads. “Get There Faster.” which punctuates the visuals created by the cities represented as sand inside each hour-glass. Designed by Publicis,  the German agency, Renault’s new campaign was created by Christian Kuzman and creative directors are Stephan Ganser, Volker Schrader, Konstantinos Manika. – Via

Orbit Modular Furniture with Many Design Possibilities

20 May

This modular furniture is aptly named “Orbit” as the word refers to space which is the final frontier. In this case it refers to space planning which goes to the core purpose of modular furniture. I really like these pieces as I could envision them in a home or a public seating area. The benches are so simple and yet would make a welcome addition to filling up space in a hallway in a house or in a corner of a living room. With Orbit, the more space that you have to work with, the more design possibilities arise. More information: here.

In a world filled with plastic, designer Takumi Shimamura of Monacca differentiates his handmade calculators by using beautiful, sustainably harvested wood.

On the lookout for some modern kids furniture that’s as stylish as it is eco-friendly? Well, look no further because Brooklyn-based designer April Hannah’s Tree Table collection of foliage-inspired tables and chairs ticks off all the right boxes. These modern pieces feature work spaces perched on top of graphic “tree branch” legs, and they’re made of FSC-certified wood and use non-toxic, eco-friendly finishes. They’re the perfect place for youngsters to do homework and art projects, and their stylish good looks also appeal to design conscious adults. The Inhabiteam was so enamored with April Hannah’s new work, that we awarded her with our ‘Best Kid’s DesignEditor’s Chocie Award at BKLYN Designs this year.
