The adorable Bonsai lamp was designed by Moredesign for the Italian company Myyour. The Bonsai is powered by batteries and features LED lighting that make it easily transportable and perfect for use outdoors. It comes in many colors and finishes to match most any decor.
Le Bar by Concepts by Catherine is a fun bar for indoor or outdoor use made of gray driftwood and painted aluminum. The driftwood part of the design doubles as a wine bottle holder. Part of the “Baptized by Nature Design” collection, the bar will be quite the conversation piece in any space. Enjoy talking about it over a nice glass of wine!

Kenneth Cobonpue released some new pieces at this Fall’s Maison et Objet show in Paris.
Papillon is an oversized lounge chair and ottoman with enlarged sides resembling butterfly wings.
The Pergotenda Move by Corradi is a dynamic roller sun shade for use outdoors that performs the functions of a pergola and a sun umbrella without making you feel stuck in a sunroom. It anchors to a supporting wall and features LED lights inserted directly into the pillars. I’m definitely on board with this idea.
Back in December 2010, I wishlisted a pair of butterfly chairs from Circa50. Well, my wishlist prayers were answered. Circa50 generously offered to send me a pair of their butterfly chairs in my choice of cover. I immediately told Jordan I wanted black ones. He told me if I bought another black thing that I’d be sleeping out there on them. Apparently, he’s a little sick of my black, white, gray color scheme and demanded that I choose something vibrant. I sucked it up and went with the orange. I’m considering getting some replacement covers just as backups, too (I change my mind a lot).
Spot by Quentin de Coster is a playful birdhouse that’s a bit of a departure from the traditional wooden nest box through its use of thermoformed polystyrene and aluminium. With its outer rim, birds can land on the house’s “lawn” for a rest or go inside for shelter.
