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.

Designer Brodie Neill is launching his latest limited-edition piece, a glass sculptural chaise called Glacier, at this year’s SuperDesign in London, which opens today.

Kenneth Cobonpue released some new pieces at this Fall’s Maison et Objet show in Paris.
