The Courtesy Table by the Dutch designer Marleen Jansen is low on the practicality scale but wins lots of points for its entertainment and sculptural factor.

Blime Light
I had the pleasure to see Alvaro Soto demonstrate this beautiful lamp called Blime Light at last night’s Apartment Therapy Design Evening.
Blime Light is a DIY light fixture that ships in a teeny tiny box and then can be assembled at home. They are currently running a Kickstarter campaign and are offering a whopping 24 colors in card stock paper and a white version in 100% recycled and recyclable vellum. Totally backing this! Join me?
Street Seats
Bade Stageberg Cox collected 50 abandoned chairs on the streets of New York, repaired them and gave them a new life with a coat of taxi cab yellow paint. The bottom of each chair is stamped and documented with the date and location it was recovered. Lovely. Street Seats.
Bedroom in a Box
While I obviously don’t have the space for a Bedroom in a Box, I must say, I’d be intrigued to put this in a big giant loft, if I had one. I love furniture that challenges our usual perception of what they are supposed to look like or function. It was designed by Latvia based designer Rolands Landsbergs of Boxetti.

Growing Cabinet
This modular shelving system by Leipzig based designer Yi-Cong Lu is brilliant. If needed, you can create more space by pullin on the drawers on the side. YES!
Hold Chair
Malaysia-based designer Poh Liang’s Hold Chair has a seat and back that slide up the backrest frame. This separates the seat from the frame below it. The chair can then be slid onto the table. Why? Well, how often do you vacuum around dining table chair legs? Exactly.
Servus
Servus (latin for servant) is a clothing rack by German designer Florian Saul. It’s a beauty and I would want one if I’d still live by myself. Unfortunately we don’t have room for 4 of them in our apartment. Which makes me think, how cute would it be if there was a smaller version for the kids?

Cacti Clothes Lines
I wouldn’t mind having this Cacti clothing line set up in my backyard. Designed by Davy Grosemans.
(thanks Stijn)
Manga
Talk about a piece of furniture with character: Manga will fit the bill. Anyone grumpy here? Ha!
Fortress Desk
The Fortress is a fantastic children’s desk, designed by At-once for L’EDITO. I am sure my two year old would approve.

Vintage Time Card Rack
Isn’t this vintage Time Card Rack beautiful? It never hurts to have some vintage industry decor, right?
Gurtbett
Gurtbett (“Strap Bed”) comes with two ratchet straps which hold the individual pieces together. No tools necessary. Beautiful and nifty. Love that combo.
Toiletpaper Holder
This toilet paper holder, storage and magazine rack is a minimal beauty.
Rek Coffee Table
I have completely, head over heels, fallen in love with the REK coffee table by Reinier de Jong. Someday, I will own this piece.
If you like this, you might also want to check out his bookcase.
Zerino
Zerino table by Italian studio AK47 can feature a planter, a candleholder or even a small elegant fireplace, thanks to the addition of a ready-to-assemble bioethanol burner kit. Wow.
M Lamp
Starting february 29th you’ll be able to buy this M Lamp at the M-STARS store. Go MIGROS, this is way cool!
(For those of you that don’t know what MIGROS is: It’s one of the biggest Supermarket (and services beyond) chains in Switzerland. I grew up shopping at MIGROS and these fan-products make me smile.)
DeskShell
Having not been my usual social self, I would not mind having one of these DeskShells for our studio. (but in red, of course) Designed by Kawamura Ganjavian.
TANTO
TANTO is not your normal bean bag. It’s giant and magical – the perfect place to read (and write) fairy tales. TANTO is manufactured in Italy and you can place an order on Etsy their Shopify Store! #wishlisted
Colin
This minimal table by Switzerland based company Colin is quite beautiful. And how fun are those random feet sticking into the photo? Made me smile.
Wonderwall Desk
Wow, Blu Dot’s WonderWall Desk is a beauty!
Tip Pendant Light
The Tip Pendant Light by Tapio Anttila made me look. Totally wishlisted for casa swissmiss.
