Carafe N°5

First to recommend

Description

A remarkable carafe that functions nearly as much like sculpture as it does like a standard vessel for wine, this Carafe No. 5 from Etienne Meneau makes for dynamic presentation. More conceptual than usable, don't expect to find this in production anytime soon.

Memento Coffin Table

First to recommend

Description

A pre-product concept design from Pratt student Charles Constantine, the Coffin Table was on display at Bklyn Designs during New York Design Week. The piece bypasses its morbid potential for a look at sustainable design that can last you through life and into the grave. (via Inhabitat)

Menorah for Louis Vuitton by Michael Levy

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

Before you all get excited and start running out to buy the LV menorah, I think it's merely a project by Michael Levy.
However, on behalf of luxury lovin' jews everywhere, I've written to the designer in hopes of getting more information about this fun and fab menorah.

UPDATE: This item is not for sale. Intended to be a commentary on luxury and religion in today's society.

Industrial Design that blends artistry with a sense of humor is refreshing, and you see both elements at play in this Alizzcooper table lamp by Ingo Maurer. Exhibited at Milan Design Week, the piece is made with rubber hose and simply looks like a snake.

SMAQ Cosy Chair

First to recommend

Description

Not only pretty to look at, this Cosy Chair, designed by SMAQ for Droog and presented at Milan Design Week, is made from a single, continuous piece of metal pipe that circulates hot water. Add some padding and you've got a nice way to cut down on a heating bill.

Her Chair, by Fabio Novembre

First to recommend

Description

Sort of sexy, sort of absurd, all male gaze-laden, this Her Chair, designed by Fabio Novembre is appearing this week at Milan Design Week. Obviously sculptural, the chair is also useful for sitting.

Description

A cool and unobtrusive public design from Sweden's i do design, the Union Bench offers three individual seating platforms made for 360 degrees of visibility. The freedom to comfortably face others on the bench or ignore them seems to be the concept.
