Table, container, and magazine rack, all in one. How much do we love the Bouroullec brothers? Let us count the ways…

“designed by ronan and erwan bouroullec for kartell, the pannier is a “container-basket” measuring 24″ dia x 9″ h. constructed in four modules which are then assembled, the pannier is topped by a transparent lid, allowing it to function as a simple table, magazine rack, and container. made of polycarbonate, the object is available in 8 colors.”

unicahome.com is now accepting advance orders, scheduled to
be released in late September.

What’s this? Crazy and wonderful, that’s what it is…

“Variation 0123 console table has got legs at different stages of turning, from square start to elegant fully turned table leg made of solid tamo wood. It comes complete with 10mm two-tier toughened glass top.”

150 x 35 x H.110cm

“These transparent surfaces float in the room without taking up permanent visual residency. Thick molded acrylic adds clean mod edge in one seamless turn. Clean plexi look works easy as 1-2-3 for living room entertaining or bedside stacks. Nest together or scatter room to room.”
• Molded clear acrylic
• Clean with mild soap and water and soft, dry cloth

We featured this table during ICFF a few months ago but I’m reposting because now it’s available online. This may have been one of my favorite new designs at ICFF.

“If you’re tired of perfectly flat tables take a look at the TOPO series. Plastic inserts formed over rocks drop into the table to form functional little landscapes.”

Simple and elegant, the Dordoni Worktop Table would make your workspace more efficient and make you more productive.

While I’ve seen one or two of this series before, never have I seen them grouped together in such an impressive way, nor in so many different colors. And, yes, of course, it is slightly more expensive than your usual run-of-the-mill side/coffee table, but it’s not your usual run-of-the-mill side/coffee table. So, there you have it.

“The Diana series numbered from A to F allow you to create your own art installation. Side table? Cubist Sculpture? Lectern? Notebook stand? Reference library? Konstantin Grcic’s new series of sheet metal tables is open to a wide range of interpretations and uses and, most importantly, to the imagination. Just as words are built from letters, the Diana tables combine with other furniture and objects in ever-varying visual contexts. With the Diana alphabet from A to F, a living room can be transformed to a CAFE or to a word from an entirely new, entirely personal language. iF Award Winner & reddot Award Winner.”

Another fabric/resin creation from Mr. Wanders. He’s pretty genius.

The new Ikea Catalog was in my mailbox yesterday, (viewable here online), and I have to admit to seeing some good designs. I like this desk. It’s a little more farmhouse modern than spaceship modern, but that can be good.

I like the bench, though I might be more likely to describe it as a bench with holes drilled into it rather than ‘circles of air’, but, hey, it sure sounds nicer…

“Architect Thomas Sandell breathes life into his wood with this impressive table design. Circles of air are sculpted into this endpiece, the perfect complement to its living, vibrant finish.”

available in white, grey & red

17 ¾”h x 37 ¾”w x 12 ½”d

Such a nice accent table for the price…

“designed by patricia urquiola for kartell, the t table was a giant hit in milan. manufactured in durable PMMA. the surface of the table is reminiscent of embroidery, resulting in a product that is functional and extremely decorative. 20″ diameter top. available in 3 heights: 11″, 14″, and 17″ and 6 colors, the t table can be used alone or in groupings.
colors are approximate. due to the nature of this material returns will not be accepted on this item on assembled or opened packages.”

Availability mid august, though you can pre-order now…

This desk is light and airy feeling without sacrificing storage. It’s also environmentally friendly:

“The stainless steel is finish-free, and the wood varnish is nontoxic and low in volatile organic compounds, making this a smart modern desk for todays home or office.”

Check it out, an origami-ish coffee table. No, it doesn’t fold up, but the surface appears to have been folded/unfolded with it’s ‘sloping planes’. It would look pretty killer in person; I’m willing to bet money on it.

“inspired by the art of origami, the ‘folded’ table is yet another in a recent line of impressive designs by arik levy. available in two heights, this rectangular coffee table is supported by a chromed steel base, and has an .5″ thick plastic top made using ‘carousel moulding’ – a process which allows a full consistancy of materials and a polished, scratch resistant surface. the three-dimensional table top is something to be admired, with it’s asymmetrical sloping planes – like, naturally, a sheet of folded origami paper – which creates a diamond-like effect when light is shined upon it. and yet, the inclinations are very slight, so you won’t have to worry about things sliding off.”

I like this little table. Perfect for a spare corner and a lamp.

So I’m preparing for my whole “flat-pack” adventure, and while this desk is a little blobby for my taste, it certainly fits the bill. This desk has been designed for companies that “need a quick set-up or who move around a lot” and can be assembled and disassembled as frequently as you need. They’re also sturdy–they’ve been tested to withstand 900 pounds of pressure.

When flat all the pieces measure up to under a few inches.

This visually engaging storage piece is something to set your sights upon…the design is quite interesting and the materials would add a nice neutral texture to a room. Nice to see a conversation piece that doesn’t overpower…

Organic kirei board, gloss white laminate and stainless steel legs.
