I found this picture of a beautiful kitchen in a very scandinavian style interior-vise. The peachy tones on the chairs and on the decoration is so pretty, that I thought I would show it to you. Peach is a color that has long been forgotten about, but is now back both in the fashion scene and in our homes and stores. I personally love this color, and I love it when people dare to use bold colors in their homes. Why not choose a colored kitchen accessory instead of black, white or silver? Start with the small things, and see what a difference a little color makes!

Di Corte
This series of chairs are called Di Corte, and they are designed by Andrea Magnani, Giovanni Delvecchio and Elisabetta Amatori from Resign. The name Resign actually comes from Re Sign or the Re-use of sings, a creative re-combination of signs embedded in wasted objects and re-use of materials. And as you can see, these chairs look like they are going back to their roots (literally). Each piece is unique, but the main idea of the design always stays the same.
I think this design is very cleaver, and the obvious thing that makes these chairs special are that a part of them are covered in bark. Resign design studio focuses on the re-use of different materials, and I like that these chairs symbolize that the material used for these chairs once was a beautiful, large tree. This chair collection really brings you back to nature, and it gives you a piece of the natural look of the wood used for your furniture.

Cork Peg
These small and practical pegs are designed by Canadian design studio Molo Design, and they are called the Cork Pegs. The pegs come with a magnetic mounting system, that makes it easier to mount from the wall. Cork Peg is a simple display and storage solution, that can be a great asset to your home, your garage or your work-place. You can hang anything you want on the Cork Peg, wether it is a sweater, small tools or supplies or bags, as long as it doesn't weigh more than 2,2kg.
As you can see from the pictures, you can hang what ever you want from the Cork Pegs, and they are really practical in use and also visually interesting. Imagine using an entire wall for the Cork Pegs, and decorating by hanging your favorite stuff on the wall? I think that would be a total eye-cather and a great way to "store" your things. The design of the peg is very simple and clean, but that is a good thing so that you can have many of them on your wall, without it looking cluttered and messy. Imagine if the peg looked "too much" without anything hanging from them? That wouldn't be a well-functioning peg...

Large Frame Light Cluster
This wonderful chandelier is the Large Frame Light Cluster and it is designed by Iacoli & McAllister. This lamp is actually just a grouping of their previous lamp "Frame" that is put into jumbled clusters. You can get it in clusters of eleven, seven or two, and you can get it in the colors black, white, aqua, yellow, tomato and tan. And no worries everyone, they ship anywhere!
I actually really like this lamp, and there is something very appealing about it, to me. I don't know if it is the asymmetric shape, the random grouping of different sized frames or the bright and popping colors you can choose from... Either way, I like it! If you like it too, or want to see or read more about the designers, you have to visit www.iacolimcallister.com.

New Furniture Landskape
These tables are the New Furniture Landscape for Queen of Hoxton designed by Shai Akram and Andrew Haythornthwait from OKAY Studio Collective. They have designed and installed a new panorama of furniture at The Queen of Hoxton in London. Each of the tables legs have padded heat shrink 'socks' protecting them from the wear and tear they will face tables come in various shapes, heights and sizes to accommodate the various activities that occur in the bar setting.
I think these tables are very great, and I like that the designers have made a whole installation around them. The different colored bottom of the table-legs are great, and I like that each table has different shapes and sizes. They kind of remind me of a carpenter-bench, and I like when design can remind me of something familiar. I also like the visual bolts that hold the tables together. Rough and basic, but still pretty and visually stunning.

Writable
This is the Writable coffee table and it is designed by china-born, sweden-based Tianyu Xiao. The Writable coffee table incorporates flippable chalkboard tables into its surface, permitting the furniture to be used at any moment as both a table and a communication tool. Chalk is always available because of its built directly into the panels, and is ready for access.
"How can a piece of furniture make people more communicative? Writable is a unique table that allows messages to be easily written onto table surface. It creates a new way of communicating and enhances the relationship between people in real life, offering possibilities for different kind of people to use it in a way that suits them; especially those who are not good at communicating with other people face to face. Meanwhile, the marks and doodles can be seen as a symbol of their particular lives." is how the designer describes the table.
I really like this table, and I really like everything about it. The special details such as the built in chalkboard makes the table really stand out. Though the structure, the wood and the whole look of the table is beautiful in its self, its undeniable that the multi-function of it is the icing on the top! I don't know how many people would have a lot of random writing on their coffee table, but for those who would, the Writable is just perfect! And plus, from a design point-of-view the table is genius.
