Get Out! Living Wall Planter by Woolly Pocket

Well known for their soft-sided vertical garden wall pockets, Woolly Pocket is back with their latest design, Living Wall Planter . The indoor/outdoor planter is made of a sturdy hard shell with its own self-watering tank with holes to distribute water to the roots when necessary. The modular design is easy to hang on most any surface and it comes with the hardware to do so. Hang one or multiples to create an entire living wall. The shell is vented to keep the excess moisture from oversaturating your plants

The new Punti bench from  Gaga & Design is a fun asymmetrical piece that consists of rings woven together in signature Gaga & Design style.

LEGO DIY Key Hanger by Felix Grauer

I think my LEGO obsession is well documented by now so I immediately jumped for joy over this key hanger from Felix Grauer . Using some basic LEGO bricks you might have leftover from childhood and some easily obtained split rings, you could make your very own based off of this nifty design. I like how you can separate your keys out if you don’t want to carry them all and then just stack the LEGOs when you want to take more than one with you.

Removable Triangle Wall Decals by MUR

Wall decals are a great alternative to wallpaper as they don’t damage your walls when they’re removed and you can change them the moment you get tired of your handiwork with little effort. While there are a lot of wall decals out there, it’s harder to find simple modular shapes that can create modern patterns like the Removable Wall Patterns from the Salt Lake City-based MUR . Currently the company sells triangles (hooray!) in a small and large size, each available in eight colors. Use their gallery to figure out what pattern you want to go with and let your imagination go wild coming up with your very own color scheme.

Seesaw Bookshelf by BCXSY

Although not a new design, I just discovered it so it’s new to me! Japanese company BCXSY’s Seesaw bookshelf is a pretty neat concept. I bet you could put books you’ve read on one end and ones you’ haven’t read yet on the other. Which side would be heavier for you? BCXSY is the multidisciplinary design studio of designers  Boaz Cohen  and  Sayaka Yamamoto . How would you arrange this shelf?

Faucets

Faucets for bathrooms aren’t something I spend too much time thinking about, but I’m thinking maybe that should change. After all, sometimes it’s all about the details!

A modern faucet can really add to the style of the bathroom, especially when paired with a funky sink. What I like most about faucets, or taps as they are also called, is that it’s a really easy swap. You can swap out the tap in the sink and the shower for a coordinated and updated look. I might have to look into this over the weekend…how about you?

While I’m at it – I might look for a bowl-like sink as in the images above. What do you think about modern taps and sinks? If you’re interested in switching out your own, you can see different types of taps here.

Our Favorite Concept Designs from Electrolux Design Lab 2012

Remember when we mentioned that we were going to Milan to the final event of the Electrolux Design Lab for 2012? Well, we went and met the top 10 designers in person and listened to them present their designs — they were most impressive!
