Cargo Chair by Stephan Schulz

We used to be a fan of those Hoarder shows, but after awhile we became so frustrated with those folks who were so attached to their garbage we stopped watching. While we have occasionally been guilty of sentimental collecting, we are die hard purgers. Why can’t they just get organized? So when another site mentioned the Cargo Chair above would make a perfect chair for hoarders, it got us thinking. Maybe they just lack the right furniture?  Perhaps designer Stephan Schulz will be inspired to create a whole line of hoarder furniture?

Rock And Roll Design-Amplified

An MUL fan from Italy wrote us regarding a recent discovery. He stumbled upon Rocket Designs while shopping in his hometown of Milan. We liked it so much, we promised to share it with MUL readers. Check out a few of the music inspired pieces from Rocket Designs. And thanks so much to Giulio for the tasty tip.

The Coat Track from Rocket Designs features a ‘mix’ of wall graphics and hardware to create a 3D effect for  your wall. We want one for our wall! Don’t see any distribution for them in the USA but we’re sure that’s only temporary. The products are so cool and funky, we’re optimistic you’ll see them in the States very soon!

The Wine Jack would make a superb gift for aspiring DJ/wine enthusiast! Designed so the wine bottles becomes part of the audio jack. Totally whack, Jack!

‘Yeeeeeeaaaaaah, booooooyyyyyeeeee’! Remember cassette decks? We do! Giving props to an 80′s icon, the Extended Plane not only provides you with a cozy place to rest your shades, but also gives an extra 15 minutes of fame to the good old cassette tape. RIP cassettes. Full Story »

Skeletal Designs, Head Lamp from Scott Daniel

We were drawn to these sculptured head lamps at ICFF 2010.  Scott from Scott Daniel Designs was kind enough to let us take a few photos (still learning how to use the Nikon D5000 ;->).  The collection is called CMesh, which according to his website means, “…an experimental ceramic medium with a metal skeletal structure”.

Miniature Modern Dollhouse by Brinca Dada

We met Doug from Brinca Dada at ICFF 2010 and fell instantly in love with this miniature modern dollhouse by designer Tim Boyle.  The Emerson House, it has six rooms including a living room, kitchen, library/office, master bedroom, bathroom and child’s bedroom.We were so impressed with the detail of each piece of furniture and the fixtures were amazing. The home is so realistic! A gorgeous home, so jealous it’s only for Barbie!

Doug opened the Emerson House up to show us the open floor plan and floor-to-ceiling windows. Environmentally friendly, the house was built using non-toxic and lead-free wood stains and paints. If only all homes were built that way!

So perfectly petite! Just imagine stepping inside this miniature manse. Better knock first, Emerson House has occupants, see the resting ambiguous figure in the background relaxing on the lounge?
