Get Out! The Outdoor Floor Lamp
Outdoor lighting is no longer a functional necessity to help you find your way to the front door. With the outdoor design revolution, these lights also become mood tools. The first designs to appear on the market were about surprising shapes (globes, cones, stars, waves, and fake stones) and colors (funky blues, pinks and greens). However, if they were fulfilling the same function, the designs were clearly not those you would find inside. This is no longer the case. The floor lamp has become the new sophisticated must-have decorative item.
Here a just a few options to look out for.
The classic floor lamp with a base:

Residence in China by H23
H23 has designed this residence in China that features simple lines and very understated hues. If you’re looking for some minimalistic inspiration on this Tuesday, then here it is. The staircase is my personal favorite.
Han Shao , Director of H23 says:
It is not unusual that homeowners in China have to finish up project by themselves from a building skeleton they bought from developer after they move in. In order to control costs and gain hands-on experience, I decided to do much of the work myself and hired local contractors as needed. Working with local carpenters was a great experience for learning their building techniques first-hand.

ABC is an alternative design for conventional shelf with its storing, displaying and dividing functions. It could be suitable for homes, open offices, libraries, cafes, etc. While stressing the functions of storing and displaying for elements like magazines, catalogs, books, and encyclopedias, it provides aesthetic and rhythmic dividing function in necessary parts. The static and symmetric front view turns out to give a dynamic perception when looked from different angles. Its sculptural form is an aspect of connection with the user.
Water Bobble
By reinventing the water bottle with fashion-forward filter technology, Move Collective has made it cool to hydrate again. Environmental experts tell us to stop buying bottled water, and yet still many worry about the toxins coming from their tap. Other filter-friendly bottles tend to be hike and camp styles, but Bobble’s crisp colors keep the its lines as clean as its agua.
