The essence of minimalism: Nissa Kinzhalina, the creator of the exquisite Living Light lamp, is back with the design for the Gentle Hint chairs, two minimal chairs that double also as table elements.

I love it when designers get imaginative. This is a smart desk that converts to a bed, from Athens-based Studio NL. Useful for those late working hours.
A table that tells you what you can make with various ingredients and also heats your food, no stove required? “A Table for Living” is a concept from Ikea for the future kitchen of 2025.
Ikea made an impression in this year’s EXPO Milan 2015, where they presented their prototype for a concept table that helps you decide what to prepare, suggests recipes, but also weighs and heats the food. All that, besides being a regular kitchen table! The designers see the concept table as a “preparation surface, hob, dining table, work bench and children’s play area”. How cool is that?
The Nesting Shelf by Nendo, is described as: “A shelf that, from within, a second shelf of the same size seemingly grows outward.”
The Nest shelves have the amazing ability to double in width, making them ideal for any small and large space. The construction of the piece is based on an ultra-thin horizontal section, that slides inside the outer shelving. When expanded to its fullest the shelf doubles in size. How come nobody ever thought of this before?

I would love to have these chairs on my balcony!
The Acapulco chair is for me a design icon, but one thing I had not realized is that the designer is actually unknown. Inspired by the traditional Mayan hammocks, the Acapulco chair was first produced in the ’50s, when Acapulco became a jet set destination and quickly became popular throughout Mexico.
Ideal for outdoor lounge seating, the chairs come in bright, tropical colors and many different variations. The classic version is available by: Innit Designs, Acapulco Chair and OK Design. Also a beautiful leather edition by Ocho Workshop.
