Materials: Lack Coffee table (birch effect), stain, paint in different colors, clear paint, sand paper Description: Our Lack table didn’t match the rest of our furniture anymore, so I looked for an idea to fit in. First I sanded the thin layer of clear paint from the table, hoping to find at least a little bit of something what is called wood, plywood or similar.

The New York-based industrial designer and RISD graduate, Louie Rigano is well on his way to taking over the design world. Not only does he create well designed and aesthetically pleasing things, he also puts a lot of thought behind his work and concepts. The Fan Lamp was inspired by a traditional Japanese folding fan and made of bamboo and washi paper. Rigano’s design uses the same assembly and materials as the traditional fan, but by simply bending the bamboo, a new idea is formed. The washi paper used is both durable and practical and it diffuses light beautifully.

Materials: Ikea nightstand (Rast), saw, Watco Danish Oil, 4 table legs, 4 angled top plates with screws, furniture oil, sand paper, tape measure, pencil, screw driver Description: This little Ikea nightstand has been in our family for 30 years and has been through three kids. By the time it got to me it was covered in water stains, chipped veneer and scribbles. But the bones of it were perfect – a little drawer to hide away ugly things like cellphone chargers and ample room for books, clocks, lamps and knick-knacks. This project took about a week and is completely doable in a small apartment. They don't sell this exact nightstand anymore but you can get the same effect using the Ikea Rast Nightstand , minus the drawer

These rain cloud lamps from DCS Corp consist of three parts of different materials. First, the shade is made of washi (Japanese paper) using a three-dimensional shaping method. The lower part is made of acrylic and is sustained by 36 pieces of metal rod. The silver rain cloud is made of transparent paper, but the golden rain cloud is created to form an image of rain cloud at dusk, although it is rare weather phenomenon.
