They say that the best things in life come in pairs. Let’s face it – there’s always a need for one more, right? Plastics Duo takes this wishful thinking and puts it into action. This is a versatile sofa for the home, comfortable and soft, elegant but easy.

The plastics are duo but the possibilities are varied. You can play with its design and shape it as you please or need. There are three different models available: a seat with back, the version with a right arm and the version with the left arm. You can really make the most out of two, or shall we say – a duo?

It’s true, we don’t live in a fairytale, however, there’s no reason why we can’t feel like we’re kings of the world. Check out the Master’s Chair – a contemporary interpretation to the good old throne. This is the final result, combining three chair designs: the 7 Series, the Tulip Armchair, and the Eiffel Chair.

Supported on four slim legs, the Master’s seat is roomy and comfy. The back of the chair is its most fascinating feature, characterized by the fullness and empty spaces created by the curvaceous crossing lines of three different backs descending to meet together at the seat. Don’t be mislead by the contemporary design, this is a very comfortable chair befitting a king.

If you’re looking for a different twist, a piece of furniture that will take your interior design to that extra level, then the Crystal Chiavari Chair is exactly what you’re looking for.

Featuring an antique bamboo design combined with a modern crystal appearance, this unique chair is available in transparent pastel or opaque bold colored polycarbonate. It’s comfortable, 100% recyclable, eco-friendly, and stackable! Personally, I love the transparent look; I think it adds a sophisticated flair that will dress up any dining table with glass-looking set of chairs.

What do you feel like doing? Sitting, sleeping, lounging or entertaining, the German-made Ludus Sofa can be arranged to do all that. Designed by Patricia Hopfer for the Mobilia Collection, the Ludus consists of only three cushion parts: a seat cushion, a back cushion and an optional corner back cushion – and a lacquered MDF back part that is also a library.

The system is modular and very easy to re-arrange, it can be a sofa, a bed, a large sleeping area or recliner. The back / shelf unit is a practical storage solution for books, magazines and decorative items you want to keep nearby. The Ludus sofa is an ideal solution if you have limited space or don’t have the budget to buy several pieces of furniture but still want the option of having guests sleep over.

Here’s a Do-It-Yourself project for you: Take a few stainless steel tubes, some plastic cable ties and a rubbery material, mix them together, and Ta-Da! You’ve just created a chair. Well, I wish it were that easy… But not for the creative guys at Recession Design – an international DIY design collective based in Milan – this group of creatives are up to some wonderful product designs, and one of them is the P3 DIY Chair.

Many cultures have legends as to the origin of feltmaking. This non-woven material has been in use all over the world from nomadic tribes in Asia to manufacturers in Western Europe. As diverse as the people who use it, so are the uses for this material, from clothing and decorative items to construction, automobile manufacturing and musical instruments construction.

With the current movements recognizing the need of sustainability and in search for a healthier ecological environment, the significance of felt as an ecological textile, has led to a rise in its’ use in art and design. Designer Dror Benshetrit explores the balance between art and design and creates products that are in sinc with the current ecological movements. One such creation is his Peacock chair.

I have to admit that when I first saw this bed two words immediately came to mind: bent paperclips and waterbeds (!) that being said, I have to point out that I also find the Float Bed a beautifully designed, extravagant and very calming bed that will gently rock you to sleep.

This is going to date me, but the minute I saw the design of the Tetris Couch I had a quick flash to my happy video game playing days. During the 80’s anyone who had a home computer had to play Tetris. The game got its’ greatest popularity kick with the launching of the handheld Game Boy version. Video game consoles, PDAs and mobile devices all have versions of the game winning it the title of the “Greatest Game of All Time”.

“Commode” – just saying the word brings up images from other periods in time: bourgeois sitting rooms, softly lighted, filled with hand crafted furniture, billowing curtains and gold framed family portraits hanging on the wall. This image, that also brings with it a revival of traditional values and customs, is what stands behind the March Gut Commode.

Cristoph March and Marek Gut are the design duo that decided to revive these feeling in the furniture they design. Traditionally the commode is a small cupboard fitted with a number of drawers and compartments, something between a chest and a cabinet. Standing discretely in a corner of a room, it was used to store personal stuff.

FlexibleLove furniture is a flexible cardboard chair that you can expand and shape according to the number of people you want to seat.

How many people can we seat? This is the usual question that arises whenever we plan to have friends over for dinner or lunch. We always seem to have more friends than chairs so we’ve started sending out “bring your own chair” invitations. To date we haven’t had anyone decline our invitation because of this (why say no to good food and fast company?!) but it’s not the best solution.

On one such occasion I got a call from a friend: “cancel the chair request, I have seating for everyone”. With no other information available, I had to trust our friendship and hope we won’t be eating off the floor. She arrived with two FlexiLove chairs and with a triumphant grin expanded them to the exact length of the table. It took all of 5 minutes and I had a perfect seating solution!
