UK-based designer Samuel Wilkinson launched his Hoof tables at the Stockholm Furniture Fair this week. The tables are named Hoof because of the design of the feet, which resemble hooves (or also sharpened pencils). Samuel explains, “I have always loved painted wooden chairs that have the end of the legs left as natural wood so that the paint doesn’t chip off from being either kicked or knocked when cleaning

Launched at the Stockholm Furniture Fair , this table facilitates communication and playfulness with its users. Designer Tianyu Xiao asks “How can a piece of furniture make people more communicative?” Writable is a table that helps people communicate more easily through the use of three panels on the surface that flip to reveal chalkboards. A playful yet useful way to get people interacting with the table and each other, and a great idea for kids. Tianyu Xiao says, “It offers possibilities for different kinds of people to use it in a way that suits them; especially those who are not good at communicating with other people face to face. Meanwhile, the marks and doodles can be seen as a symbol of their particular lives.” Writable was part of the exhibition The Collector , which features the work of graduate students at the  HDK School of Design and Crafts

Fulo presented their Bits bench at the Stockholm Furniture Fair . Made of small birch wood triangles, the seat appears to be tough and hard, but Fulo says it is soft. Unfortunately, we were not there to test it out, but we’ll take their word for it. It also has a cute moving bolster pillow to adjust it from bench to lounge. via Designboom Share This: Twitter | Facebook | Discover more great design by following Design Milk on Twitter and Facebook

Exhibited during the Stockholm Design Festival , Note Design Studio ‘s newest collection Marginal Notes. Pictured above in the middle are the High Tide/Low Tide shelves. The designers explain “The tidal range is the vertical difference between the high tide and the succeeding low tide. Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun and the rotation of the Earth. The shelves in these two floating pieces of furniture mark the tidal ranges of the Strait of Magellan, the calmer Pacific versus the more dramatic Atlantic.” More from the designers below.

Olle Gustafsson created the Fine chair as part of his BA degree project in interior architecture and furniture design at Konstfack, University College of Arts, Craft and Design in Stockholm, Sweden. According to the designer, the project was “developed around the Japanese word ‘ma’ which deals with void, time and space.” Gustaffson created two iterations of the Fine chair: one in ash and one in alder. The tips of the legs on the ash chair are clad with leather, and the alder chair in rubber.

Not your every day sideboard, but definitely an intriguing design.  The Redux Sideboard comes from Stockholm-based designer Jarl Fernaeus, who says he is largely inspired by typography.  He strives for balance is each piece, which I think can easily be seen here. This sideboard combines Corian with powder coated sheet metal detailing for a slight industrial look. The two elements perfectly contrast each other, while creating a look that’s unique enough to get noticed but still practical enough for everyday use

Motoki Yoshio of Giba designed these sets of drawers from Paulownia, the furniture company that bears the name of the wood it uses. Paulownia wood has been used to make Japanese furniture, especially chests, for over 200 years. Of particular note is E01, a set of individual drawer boxes that can be configured umpteen ways. Stockholm-based Smånsk, however, uses textiles to create a soft space that can be put into use as a private meeting area when needed, the Never Ending Office. And on a completely different note, the Tazi sofa from Ding3000 brings the Afghan hound into the living room.
