Inspired by the cradles of nature, the Cocoon Bed by Thomas Althaus brings a sense of organic living to your bedroom.  The sides and headboard of the Cocoon Bed are of a continuous form, bending naturally from the foot to the head.  Available in a felt-like gray or a soft white, the Cocoon bed is a fresh design for those who want to make their magic happen on a piece of modern art.  Bow chicka wow.

We first spotted this collaboration between Domeau & Pérès and hip hop beatsmith Pharrell back in May, but spotted it again recently and felt compelled to share.  The Pharrell x Domeau & Pérès Perspective Chair represents “the love between a woman and a man”.  If you look closely, you’ll notice that Pharrell is not being figurative with that statement.  The legs of this chair are the legs of a man and a woman, arranged quite suggestively.  The chair will be on display in Paris in late October at the Emmanuel Perrotin Galerie, where only four of each color will be sold.  Pharrell describes his inspiration:

“I had often wondered what it’s like to truly be in love,not lust for once..So I decided not to ask what it was like in someone else’s shoes or what it was like to sit in their seat..I decided to sketch out my own experiment; the perspective chair.”

If you’ve been a regular reader of GearCrave over the last few months, you’re well aware of our obsession with “weaponized design”.  We’ve covered the Kill Time Gun Mug, the Ghetto Basics Gun Soap, the Umbuster Brass Knuckles Umbrella and the Thabto Knuckle Duster Mug all to a resounding response.  The latest in a long line of weaponized glory is the Bedside Gun Lamp by designer Philippe Starck.  This 18k gold plated pistol lamp is an artful homage to a world dominated by the bullet.  While we may rest comfortably far from conflict, this bedside lamp is a reminder of just how golden our oft-neglected peace can be…

We’ve been aching for a modern throwback– how better to scratch that itch than by featuring the Eero Aarnio Ball Chair?  You’ve seen it in museums, in design magazines, in high end retailers, you’ve even seen it in the film Dazed and Confused.  As designed by Eero Aarnio and manufactured by Adelta, this chair is as mod as mod can be.  We’re not certain we could justify this one in our own living room, but we can certainly take a moment to appreciate it.  (I’m surprised I made it all the way through this post without making a Mork and Mindy joke.  Nanu nanu.)

Norwegian architects Todd Saunders and Tommie Wilhelmsen found themselves at a familiar cross-roads for emerging architects.  At an early stage in their career, they found it difficult to find clients that would take a chance on young, unproven architects.  Instead of waiting for a chance to prove themselves, they made it happen on their own.  The Hardanger Summer Home is a self-initiated, self-financed project on a plot of land the duo purchased together.  The result is a simple, dramatic structure built into an amazing natural property in Norway.  We think they’ve proven their value as architects… how about you?

Japanese designer Tadahito Ishibashi wanted to remind you of classic Italian sports cars when he designed this Brunopasso espresso machine. Consider that mission accomplished! The Brunopasso sports several automobile design elements from sports cars of the 60’s, like the gearshift-like handle made from beech wood and indicators laid out like dashboard guages. Fortunately automobile lovers who are addicted to espresso can get their hands on one of these for a lot less than the cost of a Porsche 356…

We’re not going to lecture you about smoking– no matter what you smoke. If your pad gets the occasional haze, its best to be prepared. In doing so, you don’t have to have an ugly ash tray cluttering up your home, that open wound to your own personal feng shui. The brilliant minds at Vitamin have created the Tab A/B Planter x Ash Tray, a practical planting vase that covers up the nasty bits with fresh, flourishing flowers and vibrant greens. Place this one on your coffee table, both your smoke free and cough-friendly pals will enjoy it.

Inspired by the patterns of fall and the perspective of Pollack, the HZL October X Rug marks one hell of a stylish spot on your living room floor.  This hand tufted rug spans over six-and-a-half feet at its longest, with each arm stretching two-and-a-third feet wide.  Since most contemporary home environments lake earth tones and a central piece to bring it all together, HZL’s October X will be in high demand amongst interior designers.  With the wild shape of the October X, this one certainly will bandage the room together…

Recently there was a Bisphenol-A or BPA scare.  The plastics additive Bisphenol-A or BPA, which is found in almost all plastic bottles, can cause harmful effects in animals by mimicking estrogen. That is where the KOR water vessel comes in. The KOR water vessel is a new, plastic free BPA water bottle specifically constructed to support a long product life. This progressive little bottle has a special flip top which pops right open with one hand. If you’re an athletic individual, that comes in handy on the bike or on a run. So if you use water bottles on a regular basis and want to protect not only the earth but your health (not to mention your pocket book) then the KOR One is a solid solution.
