New York City native and textile designer Thomas Paul is in this week’s Friday Five hot seat. A former neckwear and scarf designer for Bill Blass, Calvin Klein, and DKNY, he went off on his own — in an entirely new direction: the home. You can definitely see the neckwear inspiration in his designs, which range from bedding to pillows to rugs and our favorite: the Luddite collection . P.S.

Ondule is a slip-covered chair by French designer Mattis Esnault that arose from a call for projects from the French design schools. Undulating waves of foam and Kvadrat fabric form a skin-like layer on top of the solid chair form. According to the designer, the chair is an exploration of sound waves and frequency as well as the potential of the materials.

Never has knitting looked so cool to me. UK-based textile designer Claire-Anne O’Brien was inspired by the actual knitted stitches themselves and created them in large-scale to produce these stools with a modern twist. The effect invokes depth and texture with an overall playful sensibility

Product and lighting designer Giles Godwin-Brown is a recent graduate and has designed two high-quality modern lamps. The Nepa Lamp is a two-dimensional “lamp silhouette” that stands six feet. It’s wall-mounted and equipped with friction hinges to allow the piece to pivot away from the wall. Constructed of birch plywood and stainless steel with some aluminum details, it utilizes high-powered LED lighting. The lamp is playful and I love that it references a giant-sized Anglepoise lamp.

I’m not always a huge fan of red in interior design, but it seems to be growing on me. Grey, however, is one of my favorites, so that might have something to do with my fondness for today’s color combo of grey and red.
Grey and red together form a modern color scheme, and have an even greater effect when some crisp white is thrown in there. (Especially in the last image – it’s my fave!)
What do you think of a grey and red color combination?

Bulgarian product designer Petar Zaharinov has introduced a new collection, Coordinate , under his Prakrik label. Like his other lines of “puzzle furniture,” the pieces are inspired by interlocking, wooden burr puzzles, and meant to stimulate some intelligence from the user. The components, which fit together without the use of tools, are made from beech plywood produced locally and finished with natural plant oil
