Hanging out with Petit Collage

Submitted by dorra on Sat, 07/03/2010 - 09:45

And speaking of the child’s room here is a great addition to it and a lovely décor item: the zoo-motif laser-cut bamboo mobile from Petit Collage. Designed by artist Lorena Siminovich and hand-crafted from sustainable harvested bamboo plywood, the mobiles are easy to assemble and come in six fun retro-looking versions: bird-trio, owl-family, tree, forest, farm and jungle mobile.

Zeitraum furniture with its minimalist design, even austere, mainly due to hardwood used and mostly square lines, “impresses without dominating”. A small German company working with a team of 10 people in the areas of product design, furniture sales and distribution, and commercial furnishing Zeitraum focuses on high quality instead of “designer frills”.

Bamboo Stagger, from New York-based Brave Space Design is a shelving unit designed to help you store a variety of items and to open up all the possibilities for a less conventional storage and display of objects.

Sculptural furniture by Seth Rolland

Submitted by dorra on Tue, 05/19/2009 - 19:41

I would love to have my home decorated entirely with designer pieces instead of soulless mass-production furniture, which is if I had a home of my own. Until then I can only dream of fitting in my imaginary bedroom a whimsical, curly Hayes cabinet and can only sigh for writing at the smooth, graceful Trimerous desk.

Hayes cabinetFurniture designer Seth Rolland shows his love for nature in every piece of home furnishings he creates. The simplicity and dynamic of the natural forms give his main inspiration while sustainably harvested wood is the basic material for the organic designed pieces.
