Lovely Tables & Desks

Posted on by

I was searching for tables & desks in various design websites and blogs and I realised how difficult it is to come across one that is beautiful yet functional and not being clever just for the sake of it.  There are tables/desks that make me go, “Oh, that’s very clever! It can do this / become that”… and then I thought about how it will be used in a real life context and then it will lose its ‘magic’ when I think about the inconvenience(s) that might arise.  Hope that made sense.  :P

However, I did come across quite a few tables/desks that I like very much and I realised a recurrence – they’re all wooden and quite whimsical.  yeay!  :)

I am so in love with these simple yet beautiful tables from Slowwood’s MUN collection.

Above is an extract from Slowwood’s website.  Please, I want each and every piece in the collection.  :)

 

 

Shelves

Posted on by

Lately I’ve been buying many books and magazines and I wish I have enough pretty shelves to store them on.  Here are some nice shelves that I’d like to share (& some I wish I have!).

First up, some shelves I’ve actually ‘met’ in real life :P

The Edith and Agnes (respectively) shelves, designed by Kay + Stemmer from SCP.  They look even more amazing in real life – just love the craftsmanship.

I like shelves that have different-sized compartments; so that it is not all rectangular or square boringness.  And also it kind of forces us to store our things differently (orientation, positions) on those shelves; which is a good thing.  :P

This one here is Citti from Zweed.

Shelves that have drawers and of different materials/colours is also a nice surprise.  This one here from Pinch Design.

 

 

Simple-looking (but with clever invisible joints) yet colourful shelves are also a plus, especially if they look as sweet as this one here called Woody from Hay.

 

When you don’t have a shelf, just stack some drawers on top of each other.  This one from Nood Design.  I’d prefer it if the colours were nicer and of better combination though.  (Just my opinion!)  :P

This is a very interesting one – I love furniture like this.  Conceptual shelf from Colin Tury.
