THE ROPE CHAIR

Would you dare to sit on this chair? Have a stack of rope in your home and not quite sure what to use it for? Here is a clever idea from designer Jon Fraser, who came up with a way of creating furniture from 80 meters of rope. Found on HomeTone, the Ropey Chair combines comfort with function and not to mention originality.Can you guess how long it took for Jon to put together this out-of-the-box design? To prove the process is not exactly an easy one, the chair was a one-week job. We really like the outcome and are wondering if you feel the same way.

 THE FACE BOOKSHELF

The Face Shelving comes from Alexi Mccarthy and is a cheerful storage unit for books and various small objects. Paying tribute to simplicity, this unit is truly ingenious. Even though it would look great in a variety of colors, we particularly like the choice of red, which makes things…explosively fun. Enjoy imagining how the face on the wall would look with various book combinations on it and let us know if the designer triggered your appetite for creating something similar.

TABLE FROM WOOD CARVES

Alma (“Soul”) table was created by Brazilian designer Roberta Rampazzo and has a simple, yet original appearance.The acrylic frame holds the scraps together while giving an overall elegant touch to the product. The project developer asserted that this is her way to emphasize on the nobility of wood, even in its most unused shape. The table looks sturdy and can be integrated with ease in various contemporary decors. Bottom line is if you have a bunch of wood scraps at home, you might want to put your imagination to the test and see how you can achieve a practical furniture piece.

CRADLE FOR ADULTS

Why should small children be the only ones enjoying the sweet comfort and peaceful swings of a cradle? This is probably the rhetorical question that triggered the idea of creating a cradle for adults. Richard Clarkson in collaboration with Grace Emmanual, Brodie Campbell, Jeremy Broker, Eamon Moore, Kahlivia Russell and Joya Boerrigter took the idea of some adults always bearing a child side within to another level
