I don’t have a jewelry box. It’s not because I don’t want or need one, but I’ve had a very hard time finding one. Right now, all my jewelry is sadly and messily dumped inside a drawer. I discovered Balsabox a few weeks ago and I am utterly in love

German design studio Supergrau , which has three designers at the helm, has launched a series of lighting designs that continue their tradition of sustainability and their desire for people “to love, to buy, to preserve” good design. All of their retro/futuristic designs are handcrafted in Germany and the collection is now being carried by design showroom Mondo Collection . The Furore Table Lamp is crafted from recovered marble, blown glass, and copper.

High & Tight is a new stool from Curtis Micklish that was inspired by the teeth of a hair comb. Its cantilevered look is actually a well-designed and structurally sound seating design. Seven individual steel plates make up the floating seat, which are then folded back to create legs. Solid black walnut then meets these steel members to complete the piece.

Summit Nesting Tables is a minimalist design created by Brooklyn-based design firm Moving Mountains . As the company name suggests, Moving Mountains is an industrial design practice that wants to move beyond its boundaries to the convergence of design, art, and fashion. The studio prides itself on creating a diverse range of domestically-made products focused on a refined sense of simplicity and functionality. With that being said, all furniture pieces are made by hand, and crafted with solid wood. The nesting tables can be stacked to build a mountain, or nested to create plateaus

TILT , who brought you the collaborative furniture we recently posted about called Quiet and Call , has also released another chair as part of that collection called Open Book. While this isn’t the first bookshelf chair we’ve seen, this chair goes the extra mile in terms of function. In fact, it goes so far as to combine chair, bookshelf, lap desk, side table and magazine rack all in one, while at the same time giving you a little bit of privacy on one side. Whew.

Designed and individually handcrafted in Yallingup, Western Australia by Nathan Day Design , these Crossbow tables are one of my favorite combinations: a glass top and a wood base. I love how the bases are sculptural and the glass merely floats on top, serving as a window through which you can view the sculpture. Each table is made of cherry wood and, since each are handcrafted, you can choose your custom size

As of July 4th, Periscope Gallery in Tel Aviv is hosting Zemayesh , an exhibition by Eli Chissik of colorful, artistic furniture from scraps which he has called “wood-con-fusion.” Using raw materials and offcuts from carpenters, the artist creates rich, new hybrid furnishings that cross over from furniture to sculpture. Assembling random MDF plates, colored Formica, and solid wood, Chissik builds texture and paint and layers into graphic elements, which soon become functional objects. Through personal interpretation, Chissik revives iconic elements characteristics from different periods, and gives an abstract interpretation to the past under names such as “Dada”, “Bauhaus” and others.

Italian ceramicist Paola Paronetto’s Cartocci collection of paper clay objects has grown over time and most recently with new, oversized bottles and bowls. The line gets its unique texture from adding paper pulp and fiber to the ceramic mixture, giving each piece a delicate and tactile quality that screams fragile.
