Growing up, did you ever have one of those plastic green doormats with the daisies? We had one and I used to pop the daisies off it all the time, which used to drive my mom crazy. The Daisy Garden rug by Joe Jin brings me back to those days. Unlike those dollar store doormats, this rug isn’t made of plastic – it’s made of a soft, grass-like textile. And an added bonus: the artificial daisies can be removed and arranged in just about any pattern you’d like using a snap system.

A-Cute , designed by London design firm AndViceVersa , is a set that includes two chairs and a table that join together to form a sculptural, multi-faceted shape when not in use. Made from laser cut metal sheets that are hand folded based on digital prototyping, and then welded into the geometric solid of the finished product. The design is meant to push the boundaries of it being just a table when, in fact, it’s also a work of art. The outer artistic form conceals the chairs within its structure while maintaining the geometric shell

Young Brazilian furniture designer Humberto da Mata has worked with the Campana Brothers and showed some of his pieces in Milan during Salone del Mobile. His pieces are rooted in an exploration of texture and building layers with different materials. I love the colorful, playful nature of his pieces, especially the glove mirrors and stool. They’re kind of creepy, too.

France-based cabinet maker Paul Venaille’s answer to the theme “fragmentation” of the “diplome des métiers d’art” in cabinet making is the Subduction Desk. Representing the phenomena of a subduction and its features, the desk is composed of two parts: one is fixed and the other is mobile. The desk top is simple wood with two drawers in front. The back section is made of a laminated veneer (300 sheets glued one on the other) symbolizing the rock strata present in the earth’s movement.

Although these are actually postcards on display, the look can definitely be recreated with photos as well. Or even art drawings from your kids or magazine clippings to hang as inspiration.

The images above are from a home tour on Apartment Therapy, and the postcard displayed are the collection of the homeowner’s, which likely have sentimental value. I’m loving this way of displaying a collection while adding color and texture to a room. And all they used to create it was some cable and hardware from the hardware store, according to AT.

As I mentioned above, I thought these were photos initially, and that’s what I use if I recreated this look. Personally, I love the feel of fun photos in a home, and I think this is a creative way to put them on display, rather than plain old frames scattered about the house.

What do you think? Do you love this look or could you do without it??
