Spanish-born, Netherlands-based designer Jorge Penadés created New Approach, a project that walks a fine line between art and a functioning object for your home. Essentially a light, the piece consists of geometric wooden frames that fan out, making a sculptural element for you to appreciate at various angles. Photos by Jorge Penadés.

Composed of 36 boxes that are 36cm square, Limit is a shelving unit designed by Alp Nuhoglu that actually has, well, no limits. You can stack and place the boxes any way you wish, both horizontally and vertically, to create any number of combinations to make the perfect shelf or room divider. The finished product not only is great for storage, it creates a pretty cool optical effect in the room giving it an almost sculptural quality. Limit is available through Delta Ofis .

The Abracadabra Bench, from the Barcelona-based Lagranja Design for Metalco , is a bench that can take on many different formations based on your requirements. Each colorful component is made of either stone, painted iron, wood, or recycled aluminum and can be set up in a cross, linear, or branch-like configuration. Perfect for any public or outdoor space, the Abracadabra adapts to any setting with endless possibilities and looks. It has a unique sculptural quality and what a difference from the usual benches you spot around most cities.

Metrobench by Stephen Shaheen is a conceptually-driven sculptural seating element using recycled New York City Metrocards. Stephen was inspired to use these discarded objects — once very personal and expendable — in a way that reflects the manner in which mass transit joins many diverse lives into a single moment or path together.

Zeitraum’s 2010 collection combines sculptural designs with contemporary refinement. In a departure from all-wood accents, ceramic is integrated beautifully with the new Apu designed by Hanna Ehlers. The Apu makes entertaining easy with its removable ceramic top and solid wood base (walnut, oak, or ash). Versatility is key and Apu may be utilized as a side table, serving tray, or vase
