In this graduate project, Lotte van Wulfften Palthe utilizes both found and bought personal objects and materials to create large-scale worlds that take on an unique existence of their own. By changing the arrangement of objects, a new world is born and a make-believe quality is created. To give some pieces in each “world” a bit more personality, the designer gave them names: Henry (the lamp), Fred (the cabinet), and Sofia (the pouf).

Antonio Ballatore, the Season 4 champion of HGTV’s Design Star, is ready to bring his distinct and edgy design aesthetic to HGTV audiences. His resulting HGTV show, The Antonio Treatment, premieres on March 14, at 10PM.
Antonio, a New York native, believed he would be a rock star by age 40. While pursuing his dreams of music stardom, he spent time between gigs learning how to build houses. This experience led him to design restaurants and clubs in Manhattan and, later, design sets for world-famous photographers, including Annie Leibovitz and David LaChapelle.
Antonio resides in Los Angeles with his English bulldog, Chewie.
I have to admit that while watching Design Star, Antonio had me at the hot pink ducks. It was all over for me at that point — but what can I say? I like dudes with tattoos who can build stuff from wood. Anyway…
Check out Antonio’s current favorite online reads (besides Design Milk, of course!):
Earlier this month, we announced our brand new site, Dog Milk, which is dedicated to Modern Dog Design. If you’re a dog owner looking for a good modern design resource, then this is it!
On Monday, we announced our newest project, Designer Desktops. View and download our March custom desktop wallpaper, featuring a quote by Charles Eames.
Not to be mistaken for this Parallel World project by Ji Lee, Parallel World by Dzimitry Samal is inspired by the concept of parallel worlds existing in our universe. The collection consists of various elements, which are attached to the walls using an anchoring system. The objects’ hidden parts are somewhere in that “parallel world” we do not see, which makes for an interesting sight. This project will also be presented in Milan Design Week from April 14th to April 19th.
We all work very hard, many of us spending countless hours staring at our computer screens. So I thought, why not have something pretty and inspirational to stare at? This is a new project we’re going to try out here on Design Milk — Designer Desktops. Starting this month, Design Milk will create a beautiful desktop wallpaper for you to download to your computer and iPhone, inspired by a thought-provoking quote from a renown designer. This is all in good fun, and best of all, they’re free!
This first month, we’re kicking things off with none other than Mr. Charles Eames.

These Chihuly-like chandeliers are the work of glass artisan Robert Kaindl.
These bread furnishings by Enoc Armengol make me so hungry. The concept behind them is that they can be a part of the living process because they can be eaten. In addition, they reflect the production process of certain non-edible objects: fast and having a short life before they become obsolete. I think they definitely beat candy necklaces.

Asif Khan’s Harvest is a project that focuses on the use of London’s plant life as a raw material for everyday products and it’s part of a show called “Designers in Residence” at the Design Museum London. It reminds me a lot of a furniture version of the Chia Pet!
During Milan Design Week, the guys from La Bolleur are turning Zona Tortona into a literal playground with their Mini Golf installation. You can find their space at Via Vogehra 11 in Milan, Italy. Make sure that you’re up to par!
Adam Voorhes’ recent photo experiment “explodes” some everyday, and many more unusual objects, segmenting them into many parts of a single whole.
