Netherlands-based designer Wout Wessemius takes a look at rubber, one of his favorite materials, in a series of home furnishings, and eventually outdoor structures, called Project RUBBER . Curiosity led him to see just what the material could do, so he began by using old rubber inner tubes and stretching them around parts of furniture and objects. Wessemius not only stretches it tautly, he lets the rubber drape loosely for different effects. Depending on how the rubber is attached, various looks can be achieved.

Stilleven isn’t just another ladder-like bookshelf or table. Stilleven is an object for reflection. Designed by Valentín Garal for Peca , Stilleven appeals to those who collect and exhibit. Most of us collect things and hold on to items that have precious memories attached to them, and typically we display them somewhere so that we can hold on to those memories. Stilleven allows you to do that in its protected wool display case that incporporates a storage shelf and a mirror

Designer Arik Levy has dreamed up the latest light for Leucos called Beamer. The fixtures can be hung as a single pendant or grouped together at various angles and configurations. The pendants are made of borosilicate glass with a chrome-plated finish and polished chrome stem, making the fixtures semi-transparent when lit. The overall shape reminds me of a futuristic Maglite flashlight, but much more polished and sleek. I love that you can play with the angles that they are suspended at to create really cool clusters of lights

While I was at Dwell on Design 2013 , I stopped by the Galanter & Jones booth to see a fairly unassuming, curvy modern bench with some nice-looking metal legs. But then designer Aaron Jones asked me to sit down, something I don’t do at trade shows often because it’s hard to get up again, but this time I obliged. And all of a sudden, my backside was getting toasty! Someone had finally answered my prayers—a heated outdoor lounge! Called Helios, the smooth contemporary design is nice and ergonomic, great for lounging or for good conversation. When you plug it in—using about as much energy as a hair dryer—it gets all nice and warm, like that feeling when you first get into a hot tub but much less wet! The thing I love best about this is that it’s versatile—it can be used anywhere from those cold desert nights to chilly Fall evenings in the East. Plus, it’s made of stone so it’s cool to the touch when it’s warm outside

Crane is a lamp designed by product and furniture design student Hyunyoung Park . The overall structure was inspired by its namesake, the crane, and is composed of a wooden body, steel tripod feet, and a steel neck. The fixture can be manually adjusted by the simple bolt and butterfly wing nut that lets the metal neck be customized to most any angle and position. The steel components are a soft green, while the textile covered cord is a darker green, both contrasting with the white socket and the natural wood of the body
