Designer Britt Kornum takes her inspiration from organic shapes and patterns, fused by what she refers to as a feminine touch of minimalism.  The Norm 03 Steel Lamp, designed by Kornum in 2003, is no exception.  This bold blossom of folded steel is suited for the most progressive and minimal of modern environments.  Beyond modernism, its a nice fixture for more conservative homes.  This one is available by Normann Copenhagen, purveyor of all things Euro and mod.

Any interior designer will tell you that good lighting can be an art form on its own.  The people at VuYourSpace.com know this, and have created a line of backlit wall art to truly fuse lighting with art.  The Vu Backlit Art is a line of wall art that raises an image off of your wall with a warm light behind it.  The light not only backlights the image, but illuminates through the picture as well.  Beyond the selections available on the VuYourSpace website, you’re also welcome to upload your own art for printing into this backlit wall display.  If you want an even greater level of creativity with how you light your home, you’re looking at the answer.

Have you ever gone to an all day concert or festival and had to suffer through sitting on a wet lawn or uncomfortable seats? Well if you have the folding money, this set might appeal to you. While at first it might resemble a ballistic warhead, the Compact Table Set is actually a set of four chairs and a table (shouldn’t all warheads be able to seat four?). It can also be used as very stylish terrace furniture or a transportable piece for next years Burning Man. And for those of us who live down south, it can be quite handy come hurricane season. Below are the photos that show you just how this bad boy becomes very nice patio furniture.

While most of us have moved on from compact discs to digital media players these days, that doesn’t mean that we don’t still need a place to store our old collection, right? This ingenious storage system doubles as a giant LED clock, so you’ll actually be getting some utility out of an otherwise single-purpose media shelf. The oversized clock conceals red 7-segment LED displays for each digit in the edges of the storage cubes. Measuring in at a 28? (w) x 14? (h) x 5? (d), you certainly won’t miss the time on this clock. And of course, if you no longer listen to CDs, you should be able to stack small books, DVDs, video games or Blu-Ray discs in the cubbyholes. I haven’t found a U.S. retailer who carries these, but if you’re up for importing a bunch, you can shoot a request to its Hong Kong manufacturer, Anka.

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.”
