Mestizodizenio is a line of furniture from young Argentinian designer Leonardo Puppo. The line focuses on practical designs but with a punch that makes each one stand out. Each piece mixes wood with another color, or even black and white, which gives them their own personality.

I think this shelving - called Once Upon a Time - by Fabio Vinella is such a fun idea. It can even be used as seating.

Vancouver-based designer Greg Papove has created a collection of furniture that was inspired by your everyday socks and the stories they have to tell. Socks + Furniture is a coffee table, floor lamp, and sofa that challenge one to take a second look at the mundane and not to overlook the simple things in life.

Diogo Frias designed this ultra-thin Silhouette lamp that reminds me of Magritte...

At this year's Tent London Mars Designstudio launched the Window Chair and Couch, a project influenced by ancient window forms.

Strala is known for their line of limited edition objects but this year they're mixing it up with their "cult object" line of unlimited pieces. The Ponte table is the first such design and it's a good one. The angular wood frame is made of solid oak and stands out under the glass tabletop. The sharply angled legs are to hold the weight of the glass but aesthetically they really make the table.

We just got an Urbio modular wall storage unit called the Big Happy Family. Mr. Design Milk and I installed it a few weeks ago in our kitchen. It's so easy to install! Here's how it's done.

For this week’s CMYLK we’ve created a Colourlovers palette of classic autumnal hues, inspired by the Jewish Holidays. There's Rosh Hashana, during which one dips apples in honey for a sweet New Year, and also Sukkot, which celebrates the harvest. So although the leaves may not be turning just yet, fall is in the air.

Brazilian designer Roberta Rampazzo is back with a new table that plays around with perspective. The Illusion Side Table is the result of studying the feet of tables and working with the angles of the legs. By angling two of the legs, the table remains stable but it changes the look completely.

Today's Friday Five features Matt Eastvold of Eastvold Furniture, who started woodworking and welding at young age in his dad’s shop. He grew up on a farm in southern Minnesota, which fostered his passion for learning these trades. Eventually he headed to the city, in the thriving design community of Minneapolis, where he worked with a number of designers and architects on custom projects. Today he lives in a small college town in Minnesota called Northfield, where he and his wife Amanda grow their own food, kids, and a company that builds honest and sturdy furniture.

Joint Perspectives, a young design studio based in London formed by María Meller and Mirja Sick, recently completed a sideboard using discarded pieces of materials.
