Signs is a series of geometric mirrors, designed by Jérémy Murier & Daniel Martinez, made out of only two elements. The cylindrical ceramic bases are concave in the center which gives the mirror the illusion of floating above it by extending the angle of the mirror. The mirrors themselves are made out of polished mirror sheets of copper.

Dino Sanchez has created a new series called Perch that consists of a minimalist lamp and tray . Available in solid oak or walnut, with either cream or olive shades, the lamp contains a simple tray below to hold your necessities and light them up when you need to rifle through to find something. The simple Perch tray looks to be the perfect place to place jewelry and hang necklaces, or put your cufflinks and hang your watches.

In 2011, American industrial designer Jeff Miller took over the role as head designer of the über popular modern office accessory company Poppin . The native New Yorker leads a team of people that are just as committed to creating the most clever and colorful office products as he, and with over two decades of skills, he’s the perfect man for the job. It’s clear he has a passion for the tools of the trade so it’s no surprise his Friday Five takes a look at five decades of writing utensils. Photo source 1. Parker Slinger Must have been about 1978 that I wore one of these around my neck…everywhere

The collection was developed over a four-month residency that was produced for Coletivo Amor de Madre Gallery and sponsored by Heineken

I am not a fan of bar carts. I have seen tons of them, and never have I seen one that I liked—until now. Mai Tai is the name of this modern bar cart designed by Odosdesign for Punt . The simple white trays lift off the trolley for easy serving, too. The trays come in three colors: white, wood, and aqua.

Young design firm, Shift , is based in Monterrey, Mexico and they’ve created a Blu-ray and DVD holder that was inspired by music levels. Levels was born from the idea of wanting to take a look at items that have long been forgotten about, like your DVDs and CDs. With so many people moving the bulk of their music and movie watching to the digital realm, storage for these “artifacts” has gone by the wayside. Levels accommodates your collection into an almost sculptural form that mimics equalizer bars and sound levels that you see on audio displays. Using laser cutting technology, the pieces can be precisely cut for easy assembly

In Milan during Salone del Mobile, Paris-based company Adentro introduced a new armchair called NINNA by Italian designer Carlo Contin . The hand-turned ash dowel-like chair serves as a frame for leather straps that simply hang down, reminiscent of an outdoor swing. However, the seat is sturdy enough with only a light motion that moves with your body.
