Madrid-based product designer Sergio Guijarro has the best list of things he likes on his website (dogs, new pencils, The Smiths – hello!), but he also creates furniture and objects with great concepts behind them. La Teoría del Dios del Jazz (Theory of the God of Jazz) (first image also) Inspired by the word “improvisation” that describes jazz, the three-piece, limited-edition collection is derived from the idea of conceptual crafts (handcrafted pieces with a story behind it). I love the idea behind them but I also love that they are functioning works of art. Three Gradient Vases The wooden vases show the gradual change from the bottom with it’s polished finish, to the top with its rough, unfinished raw surface.

Alvaro Catalán de Ocón design studio, based in Madrid, Spain, has created the geometric-inspired Rayuela stool that when grouped together creates an eye-catching visual effect. He began with the rhombus, a four-sided shape with endless possibilities. When you put three of them together you get a hexagon, which makes the perfect stool seat. Cover each rhombus in a different material and you have yourself a rockin’ tile-like design. Top image by Falkwyn de Goyeneche
