This “floating staircase” was designed by Jordi Vayreda of Jordivayreda Projectteam (Spain).I don’t think staircases get much cooler looking than this Floating Staircase. I mean, look at it! It’s magically sprouting from the wall with a minimum of materials! I love it.

If you’re anything like me, you’ll often find these days that when you have friends over, the computer remains resolutely on.The Kitchen Workstation allows you to do just that, providing a safe and tidy place to tuck away your laptop and other equipment when the food is served. Franz-Josef Schulte brings us ‘Workstation 1’ that has an elegant milk glass panel (that is illuminated from within) and a practical paper and document tray. Mounted on lockable rollers, the workstation can even be moved around. It comes in the tasty ‘Tutti-Frutti’ collection of woods (olive, wild cherry, plum, apple and walnut) as well as other classic woods. Or, if you prefer, the workstation can be made in white lacquered MDF sides with wooden drawers… or the reverse. Surf the net, charge your mobile phone, and bring technology into the heart of your home with the Kitchen Workstation by Schulte Design.

Lighting as art is one of my favorite mediums for decorative expression. I get suckered into every cool sconce, floor lamp, table lamp, projectors…pretty much anything that shines light in a new or interesting way.This concept allows for you to grow your own unique shape by providing a multitude of curved and straight segments in a variety of colors that easily connect via spherical plugs housing circuit closings. The lamp consists of 3 basic elements and by their connecting you can construct your unique branch tree. And you are not limited neither with colors nor with the shapes. Every branch has spherical plug on the end for circuit closing.

Stun your guests with these sculptural, contemporary outdoor showers from Designerzeit. Simply breathtaking, the showers resemble installations of modern art. The two designs pictured here, the Wave and the Ocean, exert their strong presence by mirroring forms in nature. The Wave undulates gently, with the soft effect of rippling water. The sickle-shaped Ocean juts out into the landscape of your garden like a rising swell. Available with a sanded or polished surface, the Ocean is a thing of beauty. All Designerzeit outdoor showers come with your choice of showerhead – either the standard, self-cleaning Hansgrohe Clubmaster Overhead Shower with 3 types of sprays (normal, soft and massage) or the Hansgrohe Bodyvette Body Shower with Rubit cleaning function which has normal spray and swivel head functions. Talk to Designerzeit regarding bringing a fantastic, modern outdoor shower to your poolside today.

This super-futuristic remote control concept by a Dutch design student can help you control your TV without having to touch the remote. Perfect for when your hands may be dirty while cooking, gardening or fine-tuning your car, the no-touch remote lets you adjust volume by moving your hand over or under it. To change channels you will have to flick a finger through the cavity in the middle, to turn the TV off, you will have to make two fingers meet in the middle of the cavity, and to turn it back on, you’ll have to part two fingers the same way. Sounds a bit complicated but it could really be handy when you have your hands covered in tomato pulp, dirt or grease.
