Our favorite picks from the 2013 IMM Cologne furniture and the Living Kitchen trade show including some well known names and some newbies.

Our favorites from the [D3] Design Talents at imm cologne, a small selection of award-winning products from up-and-coming designers.

Paper Donut is the fascinating paper art of French designer Alexis Facca and the latest is this intricately detailed project called The Office.

Artist El Anatsui transforms rusty, old bottle caps into sensuous, sparkling tapestries.

BaSaran Yen Panya's latest series is a sarcastic look at combining everyday mass-produced objects with high-end elements.

Inspired by a tightrope walker, Rona Binay created High Blocks, a set of blocks with patterns that line up in some way, always making a visual connection.

Husband and wife Matthew Shlian and Thea Augustina Eck teamed up to create a series of handheld heirloom objects meant to "instill a sense of wonder".

7 Necessities is Dutch jewelry designer Atelier Ted Noten's answer to what every woman needs in her very own survival kit, to make it under any possible circumstance. Items that will let her "be her own man" while not having to sacrifice her own femininity. A variety of 3D-printed nylon objects and accessories aren't meant so much to wear but more to be thought provoking.

Designer David Taylor is back with a container series entitled The Brand New Heavies, where he uses rarely combined materials like tin and stoneware. The juxtaposition between the heavy, dark brown stone with the shiny, lightweight metallic qualities of the tin, somehow work and balance each other out.

Remember when we featured the Curl Tables by Constanze Schweda earlier this year? They're back with three new pieces that were also inspired by Kirigami (a type of Japanese origami) and have a similar feel to the Curl Tables.

Feeling that the plastic parts that come as screw tops, buckets, and lids on everyday objects don't get the proper dues they deserve, artist Roos Gomperts decided to create a way to showcase their colorful lure by designing ceramics to display them in a series called Ceramics for Plastics. Partnering the vibrant machine-made plastics next to the subtle neutral tones of the handmade ceramics gives the once disposable objects a new lease on life for all to appreciate them.

I got word of Drew Tyndell via Lauren Gregg and I have to admit that I'm eying a piece for my own home.
