This bathroom concept by Barcelona’s Art-Tic Design Studio features customized pieces molded to give the illusion that bathroom elements like the sink, toilet, and bathtub are fused with the surrounding structural elements like the floor and walls. Pictured here, elements blend seamlessly with the concrete floor almost as if they have pushed their way up from the ground.

The latest from designer Marc Th. van der Voorn, the Branch table combines solid European oak and steel to create a subtle visual illusion that will stand out as the centerpiece of any dining room. Supported by matte-black steel rods, the thick tabletop appears to float effortlessly above the legs. A bit rustic and a touch modern- there’s no denying the craftsmanship here.

Did you know that at one point in your life you had a tail? That’s right – as an embryo you had a tail that was about one-sixth of your size, but as you grew it eventually disappeared. Personally, I wouldn’t mind having one now- as long as I could use it! But I guess I’ll have to settle for the next best thing- the Tail Stool is a whimsical seating design that balances on a small, flat surface, giving the illusion that the sitting person has a bright, dragon-like tail!

The Simple Rustic line of furniture proves that minimal design doesn’t have to be cold or sterile. Classic shapes, rounded edges, and unfinished pine give the bare-bones pieces a touch of country with a warm and inviting look that will compliment a variety of interiors from the wood cabin to the modern loft. Get ‘em here!

The Mobile Room series of furniture by designer Yu Juiting provides a quick way to assemble/disassemble, transport, and store its multifunctional pieces. The flat-pack-ready wood components easily slide into place and are simple enough to assemble that the user won’t even need to glance at the instructions. With four versatile pieces, this design is great for the apartment jumper or those with a small studio.
Designer: Yu Juiting
Only kidding! But seriously, the minimal Chiuet table’s über-thin surface is supported by an equally lanky 3-legged base that, from some angles, is so thin that you might wonder if it has disappeared altogether! Not to worry though, unlike some celebrity starlets, the solid steel Chiuet is as strong as it is skinny.

Gotta love this minimal coat-rack by the designers at Smartwoodhouse. Designed for easy assembly, storage, and transport, the S02 is composed of interlocking round wood pieces of different size that are connected by hidden hardware joints. Geometric shapes and lines complimented by the round, warm wood make this piece perfect for both minimal and classic atmospheres.

I thought my office was cool until I saw the exterior of Adidas’ new corporate headquarters in Herzogenaurach, Germany. The part that really stung though, was seeing the interior… thanks to the design teams at KINZO and Kadawittfeldarchitektur, I now officially hate my office!! The new working environment features a custom, sporty, and functional furniture system they like to call “WORKOUT” … a perfect name considering the design is purely Adidas in both form and function. Hit the jump to see for yourself!

Composed entirely of the hardwearing and visually seamless HI-MACS material, the S Urban bench by designer Veronica Martinez isn’t just a twist on public seating but a perfect demonstration of HI-MACS’ unique malleability. Inspired by spiral movements found in hurricanes, chains of DNA, and other natural elements, the fluid shape of the bench appears to shift as it captures the essence of movement between abrupt lines. Made from a single mold, the bench is as efficient to produce as it is nice to look at.

If you’re a slave to your desk like me, you know what it’s like to daydream about getting a little exercise during the week and will appreciate this design. Introducing Fitness@Work- the perfect chair for keeping your blood flowing throughout the workday! For those big guns a central mainspring/handle combo is built into the core of the chair for a great arm resistance workout. Need to work on those 6 pack abs? Lean the seat-back to the floor, tuck your feet behind the stabilizers and…you get the idea. Neeeeed this!

Bike-racks tend to be boring and unsightly, which is why they are often hidden in closets, sheds, and hallways. Problem solved! Furniture for Bikes by Quarterre is a reinterpretation of the rack for the aesthetically concerned. These three designs are not only practical for stowing your bike in a variety of spaces, but also make for an interesting sculptural element for any room. Gotta love the craftsmanship here.

The latest from design studio Kutarq is this interesting, modular take on the room divider called Just Fold It. Flexible and lightweight, the individual panels fold together for easy transportation and storage. The length of the screen can be adjusted by adding or subtracting the number of modules, making this design usable in a variety of spaces regardless of size. Perforations on the surface increase stability by counteracting wind resistance and creates an interesting visual effect.
