Staircase by Danny Kuo

Danny Kuo is the designer behind this fantastic staircase shelfing system which tries to focus on flexibility and adaptability. As Ms. Kuo puts it herself:

‘The most efficient way to build is vertically. Building vertically saves space as it uses minimal ground square meters. When it comes to interior design, the same rule can be applied. By focusing on height rather than width, efficient storage designs can be created. However, high storage designs can create a new problem because the higher storage parts will be difficult to reach. My Staircase is a shelving unit that combines a bookshelf with a pullout stair system in the bottom three shelves. The shelving unit is 2.6 meters high and the top shelves are accessible by using the bottom shelves as steps for accessing the higher shelves.’

Letter Lights

What is it with my obsession with typography-on-things? I can’t help it. How adorable are these letter lights?

They are handmade in Brooklyn by artist Amy Adams. Soft light peeks out of the tiny holes that make up each letter – just lovely! Choose a single letter to mark baby’s name or spell out any name or word (up to 6 letters) to create a bespoke chandelier.

Steel Table

I’ve just gone to Steel Table Heaven. Yes, please! Designed by Pierogiorgio Cazzaniga and Michele Cazzaniga, by MDF Italy.

Draper Stripe Persimmon/Cream Rug

How lovely (and stripey) is this Draper Stripe Persimmon/Cream Rug by Dwell?

Alphabetic Bookshelf

This Alphabetic Bookshelf will certainly not win a price for being the most useful bookshelf out there, but it sure makes a typography lover like me happy.

Kleiderstiele

Rhythm



Rhythmrhythm.com is one stunningly beautiful site. And the objects are of a minimalistic beauty as well. Well done!

Charlotte Kids Table Set



Jimmy Chiang, the CEO of Way Basics sent me a note about their third generation design of their table set called Charlotte.

We have one of these sets, the second generation and it’s super sturdy, practical and good looking. What I love so much about Way Basics is that you can put it into recycling when you’re done with it. Let’s face it, kids furniture only has a shelf-life of a few years. Kids outgrow it or it breaks. The fact that I can take it apart and put it into recycling makes me happy and less guilty about owning a product that doesn’t stay with us for years on end.

And by the way, if your’e wondering if they are sturdy, as they are only ‘glued’ together, let me tell you they are. I sit on them daily, do crafty stuff with our Ella. It’s light weight yet sturdy furniture.

Two swissmiss thumbs up for Way Basics.

Lepark Rug

This Lepark Rug has an interesting visual quality to it. Seems pixelated. I like it.

Handle Stool

This playful, colorful stool is made from spruce wood covered in felt. Made by TemaHome, available at MoMAStore. A beauty.

Bobby Trolley

These Trolleys are way cool. Now if only they’d use wheels that wouldn’t look so cheap.

A2 Stripe Storage

This Stripe Storage Chest by A2 is perfect for that room that needs a little color.

Base

I dream of a loooong (!) table in my home. I never want to run out of space for dinner guests to join the table, conversation. This beauty of a table caught my eye. Designed by Switzerland based This Reber.

Allunaggio Seat



I would love this Zanotta’s Allunaggio seat for our studio, but of course, in bright red. Designed by Goncalo Campos.

Kids Sink

What a fantastic kid’s sink stool solution. Unfortunately there’s no image credit/link to the original source. Anyone know?

ErgoErgo Stool

I’ve noticed this ErgoErgo Stool over a year ago at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair here in NYC and was so excited about them. Yay hooray for them finally being available for sale. Just discovered that the MoMA store sells them. Now, please, add a white one to your collection, please?

ErgoErgo.com

UPDATE: They’ll be selling ErgoErgo from their showroom from friday august 20th, 2010 on. They’re available for $100.

(Dear MoMA Store people, please get rid of the Zoom feature setup on your site. It’s impossible to get a good picture of your products!)

Stack Chair

This vinyl wall-sticker in the shape of the back of a chair marks the spot, where to stack up your magazines or newspapers and gradually becomes your Stack Chair. (Shhhh…One could easily also paint a chair to the wall, no?)

Crutch

So, you just moved into a new place and all you have is a big giant piece of wood but no actual table? Don’t you worry. There’s a solution: Crutch by Nicola Enrico Staeubli. Metal frames are put over the edges of a tabletop and contracted with lashing straps creating a highly solid linkage. Made me look. Not your usual solution, is it?

My Space

Liya Mairson’s cardboard folding play area is designed for children aged 3-6 based around a pop-up technique. ‘My Ppace’ has been developed specifically for small apartments which lack the space for a play room. When closed it uses minimal space and can be stored behind a door or under a single bed. As far as I can tell this is a student project and not yet for sale. Am I right?

Suitcase Picnic Table

I think our studio should invest into a few of these Suitcase Picnic Tables so we can sit out in DUMBO Park on the water and enjoy our lunch in style. No?

(Thank you Jenn)

lo-fi sofa

Lo-Fi Sofa by Christiane Högner. Made me smile and want to take a nap.

Crib House

Dave Keune designed this crib/changing station/dresser combo called Nina’s House to solve the problem of making room for baby without having to renovate or move into a bigger place. I am not a fan of cribs and changing tables, but this refreshing new approach made me smile.

Tube

I am currently researching USB-Stick-Keychains and discovered this swiss product called USB-tube. (I wrote about the iTube a while back). Tube uses pre-used bicycle tubes for their products. (Belts,iPhone Cases, Keychain, USB sticks) Cool idea, no?

What’s your Keychain-USB-stick of choice?
