Fusillo isn’t your ordinary wall shelf. In fact, it’s more than just a shelf, it’s a coatrack, a bike rack, and bookends, too. Handmade in Italy and designed by andViceVersa , Fusillo appears to be a solid piece but in fact, it’s made up of smaller sections that pivot on a central axis and can be moved up and down to be used as bookends or hooks. Each section has a notch out of it so that it can hold a coat, hat or even a bike!

OrWa Designs is a two-person team based in Vancouver, WA that builds solid wood furniture at an affordable price. (They also love finding vintage collectibles to help decorate homes.) All of the pieces can be customized to your size and color choice, and are available through the artisan site collective CustomMade . Excited for their nightstand to be featured in this month’s Deconstruction , they said, “Now people can see what a tiny furniture making business is like. We do it out of our two bedroom house, so things are tight, but we manage!” Let’s see how they do it. We start out with long, solid pine 3/4-inch boards, cutting the correct size for the sides, top, and bottom with our table saw, making sure the cuts are precise.

Designed by Tommaso Bistacchi for Valsecchi 1918 , this desk lamp holds more than a light bulb. Created from a single block of walnut, the base of the lamp also features holes and spaces for pens, crayons, letters and business cards. The lamp itself is made of metal and fits into the slit in the walnut block in many different ways and angles, depending on how much light you need.

I don’t know about your but I hate alarm clocks. I hate setting them to get up at ungodly hours. I hate the blaring alarm sounds that won’t stop as you struggle to find your clock on your bedside table and proceed to knock every single thing off it . I hate that super bright light staring at me all night long reminding me how little sleep I’m going to get

We collaborated with MSN to profile four artists and designers we love who we think embody the same design, content and functional philosophies as the new MSN.com: design with fierce reductionism, sharing real-time trends, and being perfect for touch. We think you’ll love learning more about these four creatives. Experience their work below, and check out the all-new MSN here . I could not be more excited to talk to Aurelie Tu. Not only do I admire what she’s doing with Craftedsystems , but I can’t get enough of the gorgeous texture of her designs, patterns and wall panels. Her soft, textured vessels beg to be touched and played with rather than just looked at

In Milan, Poltrona Frau introduced the GranTorino upholstery collection designed by Jean-Marie Massaud . Inspired by the world of saddlery, this modular sofa includes a combination of fabric with sleek, hand-cut, hand-shaped Saddle Leather. The leather molds the lines and structure of the seat, including the upper part of the backrest as well as the armrests and sides. My favorite aspect of this series is the leather cover the folds over and is fastened with steel rivets. The large box-like structure actually opens up and acts as storage, and functions as a table or oversized armrest when closed

Hailing from Saint Petersburg, Russia, product designer Yaroslav Misonzhnikov launched a new table lamp named Ugol . Ugol means “corner” in Russian and that’s just what the design utilizes when it’s set up. The simple, wooden pole-like form slips onto the corner of your desk or table and stays put with the help of the rectangular opening on one end.
