Knotty is a floor cushion with a plaited upholstery was designed by Kumeko, a design studio based in Prague, Czech Republic. Available in two sizes, the pouf was inspired by old weaving, knotting and basket-making techniques. Made from soft jersey tubes stuffed with highly resilient foam, and a lining that is filled with polystyrene balls, the cushion adjusts nicely and molds to your body making it extra comfortable.
Last weekend was the first ever “Design Milk Presents” event, Reinvention; Writing History Through Aluminum, featuring new works by Brad Ascalon and Frederick McSwain (AM) for Neal Feay Studio, an exhibition at Bobby Berk Home (it runs through May 27th so you can still catch it!)
We stopped by the Nervous System booth while at ICFF to check out their brand new lamp. I especially love all the energy and thought that they put into their booth design – that wooden pedestal is amazing.
The following post is brought to you by Samsung. Our partners are hand-picked by the Design Milk team because they represent the best in design.
For the launch of Samsung’s new interactive Smart TV with Smart Interaction, Smart Content and Smart Evolution, they’ve cooked up a kooky commercial that is full of cheese: a bunch of dorky dudes mistakenly think beautiful woman (in this case me in my pajamas – OK – it’s really it’s a model) is beckoning them, then they race and fight for her affection only to find out she wasn’t flirting with any of them, after all. See if you can spot some famous faces in the commercial:

Even though we just bought a Samsung Smart TV barely two years ago, the idea of using my hand to turn the volume down or change channels is enticing. Plus, you have to see how thin this thing is…

We love it when things that might not necessarily go together seem to fit perfectly together. That’s my definition of collage. This week’s Design Milk Dairy picks include images that have been cut out and pieced back together to create some uniquely magnificent montages.

Also, Society6 is offering free shipping through Sunday (excludes Framed Art Prints and Stretched Canvases).
The WOOD-OO collection was created by Prague-based kdomazidlibydli (try saying that 10 times fast), the design firm of Jan Vacek and Martin Smid. Inspired by wood shingles, the collection is simple and raw using the traditional roof element in a new way.
We really loved the Kohler booth; it was probably our favorite booth (and not just because they had a phone charging station!) I think they did a great job of embracing and promoting their collaboration with Jonathan Adler.
Remember The Ultimate Workspace Contest we hosted with Intel? Well, part of the prize, besides a new Lenovo IdeaPad U300e Ultrabook laptop, was a “Where I Work” office tour here on Design Milk. I think you’re going to love the space of our lucky winner, Sarah Lederman, author of Chevrons & Stripes, and freelance stylist and interior designer.
Michela and Paolo Baldessari of Baldessari e Baldessari designed a giant clothes pin out of cedar for Italian company RIVA 1920.
