Rock and Royal lighting

These really cool, bling custom chandeliers made by Rock and Royal in the Netherlands made me smile. If I had a house big enough I would definitely be getting one of these.

Monolith Table

This table design by Gioia Meller Marcovic is a really nice idea. It
allows you to have a big table when you don't have too much room.
Also when your not using it as a dining table you can use it as an
ordinary table instead.


Miniature city

This video is so cool, the time lapse, tilt shift videos are just so amusing. When I first saw one of these I was amazed I thought that someone had built a mini city and spent days moving everything about to create this movie. However I soon found out that it was real everyday life and I was even more amazed. Using a certain technique and speeding the footage up you can turn an everyday city life movie into this.

iTables

For all those Apple fanatics out there, heres one more thing to get your hands on. These really cool iPod style tables were designed by AN italian artist Mirko Ginepro for Milan design week. The tables are made to order, so probably pretty pricey, but well worth it.


Gummi bears light


This is amazing, when I first saw this I got so excited. A chandelier made of gummbi bears, my life is now complete. Made of approximately 5,000 hand-strung gummie bears, Kevin Champeny must have resisted temptation to eat them all.

cradle rock

This invention is something so simple but so effective, what a brilliant idea to combine a rocking chair with a cradle. Rockid is from the design studio Onterpduo.

Leaf tie

This is one for the green people out there, these leaf ties act in the same way as cable ties whilst bringing a bit of the outside in. The leaf tie make your cables look like wrapped up twigs and give and nice quirky touch to something so boring. Designed by Lufdesign.
