During the Stockholm Furniture Fair, Sofie Samuelson and Hanna Billqvist showed their collaborative project, Everyday Constructions. They’ve taken everyday, functional objects and turned them into decorative elements so that they are no longer overlooked. Hanna explains, The idea for my furniture collection was born during a period when I passed a facade covered in scaffolding, day after day

While I would love one day to own a Chesterfield Sofa, I think these Chesterfield Beds from Frank Hudson just trumped the sofas and made it to the top of my wish list.
Although I’m not usually a fan of red, this ruby red velvet is dramatic and lovely. But the caramel leather – how beautiful is that? With the deep tufts and the similar rounded edges that the Chesterfield sofas boasts, these beds would be a gorgeous addition to any modern bedroom.
The distressed leather bed can be for a more masculine bedroom, surrounded by dark dramatic woods. I’m picturing the red velvet bed as more feminine and traditional, and that chandelier is the perfect match. As for bedding, I wouldn’t use much design or color – these beds are enough on their own!
What do you think of these Chesterfield beds? How are you picturing them in a bedroom?

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?

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.

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.
