Fancy New Orchidee
Look at this amazing desk. It’s designed by a designer with a most fabulous name: Marc Fish. The desk, called Le Orchidee, is highly influenced by a desk at Musee d’ Orsay in Paris – a desk by the same name. Many cues were taken from the designer of the original desk (Marorelle,) not the least of which was using groundbreaking techniques utilizing design research and experimentation. One of the results is the fabulous seamless tambour roll top – appearing to be one solid piece of wood this top is actually veneered canvas layered upon strips of wood.
Fish informs us that the technique used to attain the effect of the desk top had never before been used on a desk. That’s hot. You’ll see in the gallery below the lovely drawers and sassy angles that make up this fantastic looking desk. Put all your golden paper clips in it.

Crumply Box, Crumply Tissue
Sometimes a container contains objects which just aren’t true to what they portray on the outside. Sometimes this difference is extremely drastic. Take tissues for example. Inside the box, they lay flat. They look nice, they’re in basically a flat-sided unit all laying there together. But wait! When they exit the box, they’ve got… bends! Crumples and dents! Well that’s just not fair to tell a person such a lie. Solution maker? John Brauer.
Designer John Brauer had an idea. He was walking around in Japan one day and he saw a tissue sticking out of a box, all bent up. He said to himself “what a lie that box is, fah!” So he set out to make a box of his own… a crumpled box! One that fit the bill.
And here that is. Made of a composite of PE and synthetic rubber, this box cover is made to cover most any box from anywhere around the world.
Get crumply!

Rubbish Table!
All you designers know you’re a messy bunch. Give you a table, a pencil, paper, eraser, sharpener and I’m willing to bet an artful pile of trash would build up all over the floors. No need to be a mess cat anymore. The La Gota Table has a hollow leg with a trash bin at the base. The opening is surrounded by ripples to prevent anything from mistakenly rolling in. The timber parts are made from reclaimed lumber and the table top – a soy based polymer resin with bamboo fillers. HOT! I want one.

Pretty Sleepy Dream Machine
Hallo! All mein liebe. I am about to show you exactly what you might fall asleep upon. And it’s not because it’s got a good voice for storytelling. Nay! It is because it is a bed! It’s called the “Private Cloud Model 1.2″ and it’s a real rocking bed. Really, really, for real, it will rock you to sleep. Or, if in some situations you’re going to be sleeping with a glass of water on your chest, you can also lock the rock.
To lock the rock all you’ve got to do is stop the rock with the feet. The feet fix the bed in stopped motion. You can also use these feet to fix the bed in any slant you’d like for if you’re wanting to read a book or watch the television. And it comes in so many sizes!
Available sizes: (Size matress) 100×200cm, 120×200cm, 140×200cm, 160×200cm, 180×200cm, 200×200cm, 220×200cm.
Holzarten: Ash and oak, nature or nature oiled.
The group that makes this bed usually takes amazing photos with models that bring forth the true essence of the product. Unfortunately, they do not come included. They’re busy sleeping on their own.
