I have a thing for recycled products. Especially for those looking really good! The Wine Barrel Folding Chair by Whit McCleod is not a new design concept, but it surely is a 90% recycled one!

Made from White Oak wine barrels staves, this beautiful wine barrel folding chair is held together by72 screws and four oak rails, build to hold 600lbs. Each chair is made with care, numbered on the back of the seat where there’s also a mention of the winery that was the original’s barrel’s home. True to natural finish, the Whit McCleod Wine Barrel Folding Chair was treated with natural linseed oil. Perfect for indoor and outdoor use, it looks beautiful and really is comfortable!

The Klem Coat Rack is a clever set of aluminum coathangers that can transform into a coat rack just by clipping them on the edges of the right surface. In this case, a mirror.

Whether you choose to use them separately as coat hangers and the mirror as a simple mirror or a coat rack when clipped onto the edges of the mirror, the Klem by Reinier De Jong is a clever design, pure and minimal.

Whether it’s about Birdie, Birds, birds, birds or Birdie’s Nest, I’m most amazed by Ingo Maurer’s beautiful lamps!

Winged bulbs have that heavenly effect on any viewer who’d stop a second and have a look. The stunning chandeliers, signed by Ingo Maurer are made of metal and goose feathers for that bird-effect. Recommended for lower ceilings, any of the chandeliers from the Birds series looks like a true work of art.

I’m a wood fan. I think wood makes a home alive, warm. Beautiful. This Redmond Washington residence by Nils Finne is a perfect example.

Made with care from sustainable materials, this house has very high Clerestory windows allowing the natural light to flood the house as long as possible. The house was built in 2 ½ years but the clean and functional result was worth the waiting. The master bedroom has a direct view on the surrounding trees, making the owners say it’s their personal treehouse, their home made by Nils Finne after carefully listening and planning. An architect who believes in small firms and dedicated attention, every client’s house becoming the client’s image.

This aluminum lamp declined in eight colors has a very interesting screen that can be used to adapt the light intensity.

You can have your box in black or white and your adjustable screen in orange, red, grey, clear matt satin white. The fluorescent light is very discreet and the moving screen allowing a controlled distribution of light. Elegant and innovative, the Boxx Lamp by Enrico Franzolini looks perfect for a desk but I wouldn’t mind having it on the floor too.

What do you get when you put a blue staple and wood together? The No.7 Nube Chair by young Spanish designer, Tomas Alonso.

Made from steam bent wood, this chair looks simple yet very interesting. The No. 7 Chair was inspired by the classic Thonet chairs everybody knows and loves, with a twist of color and more elaborate footprint. I think the spanish designer made a great color statement in traditions reinterpretation and it would definately be fun to have a handful of chairs like this one, each a different color, together at the same table.
