This quirky little mirror is a silhouette of a dress which can be hung on a nail with its attached hanger.

The hanger is made from wood with a metal hook. Made in Belgium.

We’ve posted the regular crinkle cups before, but this is the first time I’ve seen the coffee mug set. These are fun, but in an understated way, which makes them a little bit smarter than the average mug…

Handmade in Japan of high quality porcelain with a matte satin glaze. Set of 2.

Sometimes it’s best to start with a very limited mission statement.

“Studio Verissimo consists of Portugese designers Claudio Cardoso and Telma Verissimo. The core activity of this studio is lighting, furniture and space designs, etc…. Help is a ceremic mug whose objective is to help people make rice.”

This is a great execution of a sleeper sofa with a 77.5″ x 47″ sleeping area. Not only is it easy to convert from day to night mode, but it is also has a removable slip cover.

“In 2004, the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design awarded the Pierrot Sleeper its Good Design Award, an international recognition of innovative product design.”

“The Vega Collection (2005) provides a unique solution for environments used for socializing, lounging and sleeping. Created by designers Busk & Hertzog, Vega consists of a multifunctional Sofa, Chaise and Ottoman. When a larger Sofa is needed, the Chaise and Ottoman are ready to oblige; slide the pieces together to create the required size. Should a sectional be in order, three or more pieces can be quickly combined. For further flexibility, the arm of the sofa can be positioned on either side and changed on a whim. The Sofa and Chaise transform into comfortable sleepers by sliding the seats – which rest on metal bases with internal tracks – and folding down the backs. Use a flat sheet for best fit. Two down pillows are included with the Sofa and one with the Chaise. Made in Denmark.”

This is a great cantilevered chaise. It looks as though it’s defying gravity.

Wonderful in home or offices where relaxing and power napping is essential. The soft elastic material gives gradually and carefully to the shape of your body – it is truly a different experience. The frame structure is designed so that one can easily switch from sitting to reclined.

This is genius. The “Chest of Drawers” consists of used drawers with a new maple compartment built to house each one, which is then cobbled together to form one conglomeration of storage. I love this because it’s a great way to utilize some older pieces that have been tossed asunder, and that it’s so visually impressive.

Thanks, B.A., for the link to matter matters!

If you don’t want your TV to be the focal point in your livingroom, this is a nice subdued way to keep it out and hide all the electronics that go with it. Now that flat screens are becoming cheaper I bet this will become more of a trend.

Here’s something you may have seen before (possibly from our ICFF summary…she was at the DesignBoom showcase). These are modern and interesting and totally affordable.

These pendants are part of Melissa Borrell’s “How do you wear a drawing?” project. Taking the shape that she developed for the tree necklace and reducing it in size gives another perspective on the same graphic element. The pendant is made from photo-etched stainless steel and comes in a square of metal from which it is easily “popped” out. It comes with a chord so that you can make it into a pendant to wear around your neck. Stainless steel with rubber cord.
