So, without further ado, I’d like to introduce our newest contributor, Meg Kemner and her new monthly DIY column “Make It Modern: DIY”. Learn more about Meg on our About page

Froc is a new high chair by Slovenian company Rimarket and design studio Gigodesign . But not only is this a nice-looking high chair, it’s also adjustable in more than one way: the seat and footrest heights and the backrest position are all able to be adjusted. The removable safety belt will keep babies and toddler safe but when removed, make older kids feel like they’re sitting at the table like an adult (until they’re 10). The solid leg with four extensions keeps the chair nice and sturdy, too.

Offered by molo, this week’s product pick is a unique type of seating – Softseating. With magnets on each end, this modern seating can also be used as low tables. Essentially, it can be made into whatever you desire – as you can see from the images above.

Softseating is made in two different versions – one is from fire-retardant kraft paper, which is available in brown and charcoal black. The second material offered is water-resistant Tyvek, which is available in white or black.

I’ve never heard of furniture made from kraft paper – have you? I would love to see what these look like, but I’m assuming they are durable or it wouldn’t be happening!

What do you think of Softseating?

Design studio Nendo has crafted a unique sofa system for KOKUYO , complete with high backs, that gives individuals and groups a place for privacy in an office environment. Named Brackets , the seating is meant to “bracket” whoever is sitting, like parentheses. Watch the video for the different variations: There are seven sofa modules and four table types so users can customize to their liking and needs, but also arrange to suit the space.

At Pinch , our method to convincing people to try something new is by luring them with something familiar and then spinning it. That’s why when it comes to designing our “food furniture,” we try to only use materials you can find in the kitchen. Along with the most obvious — wood, marble and stainless steel — lie more intriguing materials like silicone and our current favorite: COPPER. In architecture, we see copper applied to roofs, gutters, doors… since it is corrosion resistant and lightweight.

Material du Jour – Copper

Easter has snuck up on me. I knew it was coming, I just didn’t expect it to be here so soon. Which I guess is just life, but I really wanted to make some fabulous eggs this year and I’m not sure if I’ll have time before Sunday.

Are you making any fun eggs this week? I have seen so many awesome DIYs that I don’t know if I can pick just one. I’m probably going to have to glitter some eggs, like the ones above, because I love anything with glitter, and that’s pretty easy.

If you are in the mood to decorate some eggs, whether you celebrate Easter or not, you have to check out this post on Brit + Co. They have rounded up 40 awesome ways to decorate eggs, including the two above, and they are all really cool. Some require a bit more work, but some are pretty straightforward.

And if you have any awesome eggs to show off, please do in the comments!

An asymmetrical, geometric mirror that’s full of equilateral triangles? Shut up and take my money! The latest offering from Enzyma is the Gianluca Sgalippa-designed mirror called Derma and it’s full of all of those things and more. The irregular hexagonal mirror situates itself between two modules that feature fluorescent segments of color within the grooves of the triangle grid. The medium and anthracite grays of the frame not only make the blackened mirror pop, but the bright bursts of neon as well.

Get ready for some serious cuteness. Sorry, I just had to go there. This little guy is a napkin cup , made by the creative minds at Royal VKB  and Officeoriginair . I know this seems like a silly design, but think about the last time you had a barbecue and how all your napkins blew away

I love how wine collections grow organically as we pick up bottles from time to time, but the problem lies in where to store them. You gather more than three or four on your counter and you’re starting to look like a messy lush. Luckily STACT has us covered, or at least our walls covered. The modular wall units are a modern and affordable solution to store your wine to avoid cluttering up your kitchen counters.
