Giant Thread or Unconventional Furniture?

“PHAT KNITS” is the name of this truly creative project initiated by Bauke Knottnerus, a designer from Holland. The colorful giant thread can be used in the most crazy and unexpected ways in order to create lovely pieces of furniture. Sofas, seating places, decorative items, you name it- the only limit is your imagination. Just imagine what would become of this idea in kids’ rooms! Some say this project combines art with furniture, the designer himself stated it is “the closest you could get to having your very own ‘Honey, I Shrunk the Kids experience.” What do you say?

Light Carpet : An Unconventional Way to Cheer Up Your Room

If you’re one to sleep with your light open due to some crazy childhood prank, here is a pretty convenient alternative. Light Carpet comes from Imu Design and was designed by Johanna Hyrkas . We are dealing with one of those items for which the actual process of production is very simple. However what makes this product really cool is the idea behind it. I mean let’s face it- even though it seems like a given now, the idea of a carpet that shines like a light bulb doesn’t really crosses your mind every day. So there you have it: a creative idea turned into an attractive home “must-have”. Here is where you can contact the designers for more inquiries. http://freshome.com/2009/10/06/light-carpet-an-unconventional-way-to-cheer-up-your-room/

Candeeiro tricotado

Tenho de pedir à minha mãe que me faça um :) I’ve noticed that DIY websites are more and more popular over the internet, and it seems that more and more people seem to join this trend. Today here is a design by Philippe Tyberghien , the designer behind Cercle et Carre that might be a source of inspiration for all the DIY people that are reading Freshome. This lamp is made of a flexible plastic cone covered with the knitting and extended by the wiring of a length of 4.5 m also hand knitted. The lighting ( energy saving ) is live at the base of the cone and indirectly through the mesh. The unusual length of the cable allows the clashes and a wide variety of positions. Hanging on the wall, like a coiled snake, running along the ground, etc. Descoberto aqui> http://freshome.com/2009/06/30/hand-knitted-lamp-by-philippe-tyberghien/
