Wow loving this clever and wacky stuff by UK artist Tom Foulsham. Of particular note is the super-insane Wiggle Table equipped with a mechanism that converts keyboard input into correlating vibrations in an adjacent table. A second person then uses a pencil to create a line across that table and as if by magic legible writing appears. (via co.design)
This pendant lamp by Paola Pivi made of Vitra Miniatures will be on display as part of her “What goes round – art comes round” exhibition now in Paris at Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin until December 23. Paola was born in Milan but lives and works out of Anchorage, Alaska. More of her stuff here. (via cielbleu
Love this slotted book table design by Lu Chieh-Hua and Cheng Tzu-Hao. The Exhibi-Table is designed to help share and recommend newly-arrived books in libraries. Seems like it might be especially successful in schools and universities. Or my living room.
I would have been the most popular kid in grade school (and let’s be honest, probably high school too) if I had just had a secret Narnia room like this. Designed by Douglas Shepherd of Maple Seed Renovation in Portland who specializes in custom residential remodeling projects. I wonder if he could also build a fireman’s pole into the kitchen and a water slide from the roof? (via dornob)
The Sway is a versatile, dead-sexy rocking chair with a steel frame strong enough to support two people. A telescoping ram can also lock the chair into position for standard upright seating. Designed by Markus Krauss. (via mocoloco)
A nice IKEA hack over at Toki Woki, with a helpful how to.
The Aakkoset shelf (aakkoset = alphabet in Finnish) by Finland-based Lincoln Kayiwa comes in 8 different colors. Though it might be slightly out of reach for the typical IKEA-going crowd at $21,000. (via sub-studio)
Behold the world’s first minimalist steampunk table. The Lois is a one-of-a-kind table designed by Charles Waugh out of Boring, Oregon where apparently he makes stuff that’s anything but boring.
