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).
These Chihuly-like chandeliers are the work of glass artisan Robert Kaindl.
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!

When fairy tale meets furniture, this is what results! Cinderella’s Chair by Anna Ter Haar is a project in which regular chairs are fitted with custom blown glass, like their very own glass slippers (or glass prosthetic legs). Surprisingly, they’re stable enough for people to sit on.
70 workers built a wooden 4m x 12m “digital” time display in real time: a work that involves 1611 changes within 24 hour period. Seamlessly documented and shot on HD video, a 24 hours movie or clock is now available as a DVD on the Standard Time website.
Standard Time is an artwork of Mark Formanek, realized by Datenstrudel.

Swiss-born, Paris-based artist Mattia Bonetti will be exhibiting his largest US show at Paul Kasmin Gallery in New York beginning this month. Bonetti’s work is a balance between art and design — in his creations there is no definitive line drawn.

Blasted Familii is a series of simple, blasted objects made out of spruce wood by Kai Linke. The objects appear to be rough and aged but at the same time the wooden relief tells another story.
