Steve Jobs said “Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, everything else is secondary.” Finding the correct channels to promote our creativity or even get them recognized are very limited. Design Competitions are a good medium, but is recognition from peers and prize money the only push you need? The A’Design Award and Competition fills the void by highlighting, advertising and advocating good design, designers and design oriented companies.

Faucets are small items but they play a big role in enhancing style and functionality in the kitchen and today we would like to share the unique faucet ideas by CEA Design. Often, extra thought and consideration is not applied when choosing kitchen faucets – but if you get a good one, like the ones featured here – working in the kitchen becomes more enjoyable from every aspect of the task at hand. We like Asta for its intriguing and unique look, while Carsetio boasts continuous lines and geometric fluidity. Both are super modern and would beautifully complement any contemporary kitchen.

You’ll never seek coziness in your furniture again when surrounded by members of the Lop Lab collections by Lop Furniture, which boast a sweet Icelandic design. Items of the Lop Lab are experimental pieces inspired by things such as animals, troll tales, and cold winter days while seeking innovative design ideas. What they all have in common though is excellent craftsmanship and superior quality. A lot of the pieces retain their own unique charm and can never be reproduced exactly because of the natural materials used, like Icelandic sheepskin, full grain saddle leather and massive oak. We urge you to visit Lop Furniture to find out more.

Designed by Davidclovers, this amazing crib located in Hong Kong seems to puzzle the senses. Found on Dezeen, the project is a renovation of a tower apartment overlooking the Victoria Harbor. Here is a short description from the architects: “Nestled amongst a forest of towers on Old Peak Road above Central Hong Kong, the Tregunter tower holds unique layered views of Victoria Harbour. The abundance of bay windows, structural walls and beams that are common to residential towers would appear to constrain the possibilities of the apartment. However, by turning constraints into opportunities, David Clovers re-works the volumes of this apartment by using the ceiling and the floor. Subtly elongating, pressing upward, and sloping downward, the ceiling produces variable sensations of compression and expansion – making the apartment seem larger than it is, drawing delicate lines that separate dining from living.

Skillfully dodging and maneuvering around air-conditioning units and structural beams, the ceiling integrates artificial light and various materials – re-orienting the apartment toward the exterior. The minimal use of wood and plaster shift the elevation of the apartment (typically on the walls) to the horizontal surfaces – enhancing the outward/upward thrust of the ceiling.” Freshome readers, are you fans of asymmetrical design ideas or do you prefer the more classic approaches?

The bathroom can be the perfect place to try out new designs with improved visual appearance, like this beautiful tile design imitating colourful crocodile skin from Italian manufacturers Petracer. Found on Trendir, the amazing tiles belong to the Savana collection, inspired by wildlife, but finished with modern techniques that ensure contemporary quality. With a unique pattern, the tiles will have your bathroom looking classy and fun, but it will also give it a wild side, creating the perfect setting for a modern and surprisingly beautiful bathroom design. A glossy finish ensures the perfect balance between contemporary finishes and basic, natural beauty. These large-scale tiles are also available in other animal patterns that can recreate the wilderness in your own bathroom without having to give up a stylish interior design.
