Guillaume Delvigne

French designer Guillaume Delvigne, the mastermind behind the clever DPI lights, also created 'Chapeaux pour Vase' as part of the 'In Dust We Trust' collection for Industreal. The glazed porcelain and glass are a nice combo.

&design

The same designers who brought us the popular 'NEKKO' vase, &design, deliver the 'Frame Hanger', an oversized picture which also doubles as a handy coat rack. I like the concept, but I'm not sure I would use up valuable wall space to put one in my house...

Rafael Morgan

Rafael Morgan is a Brazilian based designer whose work includes the thought provoking 'Light Drop' LED lamps and 'Hope Table' (based on a bottle bobbing out at sea). I've always enjoyed his work, but I also really like his website for the honest and straightforward descriptions he provides about his designs.

Hella Jongerius's 'Props' for Vitra are,"hybrids between a functional product and a character from the fantasy world of animal fables."

Sylvain Willenz

Sylvain Willenz's 'Torch' lamps combine the form of a flashlight with the diffused face of a headlight.

BLESS

BLESS is the dynamic design duo of Desiree Heiss and Ines Kaag. I first saw their work (USB cable jewelry) at the Future Perfect in Brooklyn and have been impressed their designs ever since. Recently, the pair released their new 'Telescopic Chair'. (chair image via today and tomorrow)

Spirit of the East

Maxim Velčovský creates everyday porcelain objects, often with a humorous or quirky twist. I love his latest design for Qubus, a car-shaped candle holder called, 'Spirit of the East'.

Sarah Kueng & Lovis Caputo

Designers Sarah Kueng and Lovis Caputo are masters of cardboard. In 2006, they created the '72 Hour Hotel' (top) where users could rent one of their theme-based cardboard suites for as little as 15 minutes or as long as an entire night. As guests checked in they were given a suitcase filled with items relevant to the theme (i.e. magazines, a diary and a walkman for the Teenager Suite).

This year, the pair set up '5 Stars Cardboard' at the SaloneSatellite in Milan, offering passersby the opportunity to escape the chaos and retreat into one of their four customized suites. The rooms were flat packed, set-up on location and included some very cool cardboard pop-ups in the interiors (bottom).
