Workplace Inspiration

In these days a lot of people work from home, especially bloggers. For those who work from home today I’ve decided to start a new series of pictures entitled Workplace Inspiration. I’ve got this idea from Unclutterer a blog or home and office organization, and these pictures are from their flickr collection. One thing I noticed is that an Apple computer can change the whole look, these computers have a beautiful design, and they can really improve a desk look.

Lily Lace Chair

The Lily Lace chair is a unique sculptural piece exploring the versatility of lace while highlighting the commonalities between its soft alluring texture and the delicate yet sensual form of the calla lily. The lily form, symbolizing purity and virginity is complimented by the underlying dualities of purity and experience, naivety and seduction, inherent to the lace. In this new version of the chair, the lace is draped over a thin metal framework thus creating the outer shell for a comfortable inner upholstered seat sharing an identical language. The Lily Lace chair is available on request from Dror.

What’s Up Sofa by Patrick Norguet

Patrick Norguet has an interesting idea when he designed this fabric upholstered sofa with tubular base. From my perspective this looks like a piece of bathtub. The chaise longue WHAT’S UP is a strong, minimalistic, almost graphic design. By combining both the left and right chaise longue, you can make a 3,40 metre sofa! Its wide arm- and back support make it comfortable for resting your arm.

Bookcase with Integrated Giant LED Clock

Until now we saw a lot of multi functional pieces of furniture but nothing like this before. This ingenious storage system doubles as a giant LED clock, so you’ll actually be getting some utility out of an otherwise single-purpose bookshelf. The oversize clock conceals red 7-segment LED displays for each digit in the Beverly Hills: Edge / Leather Sofa Setss of the storage cubes. Measuring in at a 28 (w) x 14 (h) x 5 (d), you certainly won’t miss the time on this clock. A really unique way to know what time it is …and I’m sure that this clock would look awesome in the dark, just try to imagine. Despite not being able in the US ( Hong Kong manufacturer, Anka ), it’s good inspiration for a little DIY project! - Via - Technabob

Karim Rashid White Sideboard

Designer Karim Rashid has created so many great pieces that surely he cannot do another, right? Well, I stand corrected. Here is a white sideboard for a contemporary furniture fan that wants to store away dinnerware, silver, and other items. This sideboard could also work as a media storage cabinet in a Living Room providing space to store away things that you do not want seen every day by your guests. Influence for this piece comes from waves of the ocean as you can see in the detail of the decorative lines that embrace this piece. Via.
