University of Brighton graduate Chloe Meineck was exhibiting her Music Memory Box at Tent London as part of the London Design Festival . She spent two years conducting research into the positive effect familiar music can have for those with dementia – listening to music from certain periods of their lives can help trigger even their most inaccessible memories. She was driven to act on her findings and so created this gorgeous music box. It’s immediately tactile and reminds me of boxes full of little treasures I had as a child. Each object represents a happy memory and plays a certain piece of music when placed in the center of the box. Chloe developed this box especially for a lady called Barbara

Who knew that a light bulb made of wood could actually give off light? This wooden light bulb by Ryosuke Fukusada merges traditional craftsmanship with a modern LED device to create what appears to be a solid piece of wood shaped like a light bulb but which actually radiates light. The inside of the wood is chipped out until light can shine through.

Bon Bon is a line of upholstered seating designed by Daniele Menichini for the Italian brand ARTEX . Inspired by food, mostly chocolates, the line totally looks good enough to eat. The asymmetrical forms are based on the distortion of a cube with skewed and slanted faces. Add the chocolate colored fabric and you have food-inspired design.

I’ve been enjoying my backyard – the flowers are blooming and the leaves are nice and green. I’m taking more walks with the dogs and babe and spending weekends at the Jersey Shore.

The Swedish design company Front has created the Chameleon Cupboard for the Italian company Porro . The storage piece is considered a “magic volume” with its ability to change appearance whenever you open and close it, reminding me of the Jacob’s ladder toy. The unit is covered in fine leather that works as a hinge to allow you to change its look from black to white depending on your mood. The piece houses drawers and shelves made of pear wood, perfect for your clutter needs in the bedroom or living room.
