When I think of wool felt rugs, for some reason I picture boring, flat solid-color rugs made of a simple sheet of felt, but San Francisco-based company Peace Industry has totally changed my perception. They have created a line of gorgeous rugs made of 100% lambs wool and woven using traditional methods by Turkish artisans, but with contemporary patterns.

Tilt it this way, tilt it that way; the Tilta floor lamp by Scoope Design introduces a new, fun approach to the way a lamp can stand out in a home. Available in both a pedestal and reading lamp size, this lamp’s concrete base allows it to rotate at almost 360 degrees. Tilta can lay on any of its octagonal shaped sides to produce an angle of 30 degrees for each surface. This mechanism is simply done by using the force of gravity along with its weight to control where it goes. The metal part on top of the bulb functions as a handle to allow the user to grab it and tilt it in any direction they choose.

Designer Rachel Ballantine is challenging our perception of comfort by creating a minimalist chair from one piece of CNC-cut wood that acts as a frame. Based on what materials you find most comfortable (or uncomfortable), fill the chair frame with your own “idea of comfort.” Use plush toys, pillows or blankets… or pencils?
