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.

2013 saw the forth annual celebration of craftsmanship in the form of Wallpaper* Handmade, where designers, craftspeople and manufacturers are brought together and commissioned to create one-off pieces especially for the exhibition. I loved these table lights, called ‘Bruno’ by Karim Rashid ; part of the Love collection made by Verreum . More lighting from Norwegian designer Oyvind Wyller and Magnor . In Darkness is handblown into a shape that means light is filtered through tinted glass and therefore doesn’t destroy the ambience by being too bright. The cord is neatly integrated into the hanging of the shade. Shadow by Sebastian Bergne with Verreum is a series of mirrored glass, thermically insulated tableware

Inspired by the lines of Shaker writing desks and the mid-century classic Swag desk by George Nelson, Ben Klebba of Phloem Studio designed the Laura Desk. The made-to-order desk has beautiful clean lines and handmade craftsmanship you won’t find with most companies. Built in your choice of the finest hardwoods, the design features three open cubbies to organize your papers, as well as two drawers that have fun shapes carved out of them to hold your various office supplies. There are even two cord ports hidden in the cubbies so you can hide your unsightly cords away.

Who knew that a light bulb made of wood could actually give off light? This wooden light bulb by Ryosuke Fukusada merges traditional craftsmanship with a modern LED device to create what appears to be a solid piece of wood shaped like a light bulb but which actually radiates light. The inside of the wood is chipped out until light can shine through.

Along with using traditional cabinetmaking techniques, they also add their own stamp with mechanical engraving, hand painting, and lacquering of the pieces.

100% Design has been going since 1994, almost a decade longer than the wider London Design Festival , which launched in 2003. But it’s as contemporary as ever with exhibitors selected by a panel of design experts to ensure quality and relevance. It’s primarily a trade show, but is open to the public on the last day. It’s a more mainstream event than the East London contingent, but offers a glimpse of the coming year’s trends and a chance to spot design stars of the future. Here are my top trends for 2012… I mentioned the trend for metal furniture, which almost looks as if it’s been drawn in 3d, in my post on Tent London , and this outdoor furniture from Kirv is another example.
