If it was up to us, all the best design in the world would be posted within the Parfois Portfolio. But it's not up to us. Stumbling the web we often bump into things worth sharing. The world wide web is so full off great things that will never end up in our portfolio, but which we want the world to see. For this we created our blog. At this moment there are 4 of us blogging on a regular basis. Work, studies and social life makes that there are weeks with a lot of posts, and weeks without. But we'll do our best in bringing you the nicest shit on a acceptable basis.
Ghent University’s E-Cube is an affordable, do-it-yourself building kit for a solar-powered house that is pre-engineered, factory-built, and easily assembled without special skills.
I am proud to present you the new lamp me and three friends made with our new collective named: Stal
the lamp “eliz” forms a contrast between the elegant base and the large felt hood that seems to float above it. This adjustable lamp creates an intimate space and ensures a pleasant light zone and can be used in living room, waiting rooms, restaurants or as event furniture. the frame structure consists of birch plywood and is supported by a thin metal base. the synthetic felt can be replaced by veneer or a plexiglass cover for outdoor use. this creation is the result of a collaboration between four young furniture designers who studied in mechelen: len de paepe, bob segers, tim vranken and jonas blondeel. contact us at info@stalcollectief.com >> Read more
Emerging British designer David Irwin has created this stackable utilitarian stool for the young Newcastle-based manufacturer Deadgood. Made of lacquered beech and powder coated steel, this understated piece is ‘a reinterpretation of an existing workshop stool’ while the discreet brass detailing and individual engraving give the design a smart, polished look. >> Read more

These guys started in 2006 and have some nice projects! I’ll post some other projects later, for now, enjoy their Hood.
Designed to be both a light source and a sound barrier, Hood forms a halo over the table, catching loose sentences in its thick felt.
The light is a modular system with the possibility of growing however big it needs to be. The light is made up of separate felt panels that are assembled on site, making it a flat-pack product. >> Read more
Came across this nice and simple lamp from Nathalie Dewez, in production at FELD. The line seems to float in the air; a puff of wind would have it slightly moving. >> Read more
Stephan Schulz is a young designer, or product developer. He hasn’t made a lot of things yet, but the things he made are well worth posting. Very simple and honest designs with a lot of attention to the material itself. The project above ‘Comfy cargo chair’ asks participation from the owner, it is an empty skeleton, which can be filled in according to your taste. Some more projects, as always, after read more. >> Read more
Not a new project, but I recently found this in ‘the independent design guide’ and I just love to share great things!
Clamp-a-book, clamp-a-hook, clamp-a cable… Design solutions derived from the clamp typology: a family of informal objects, each with a specific function.
Be sure to check his website, this guy has some realy nice, simple projects.
Not a new table, but I just found it in a small book from Established and Sons. Table looks like a table; it is rectilinear, has a functioning surface, four legs and is made of wood. And yet Table is subtly different, using its chosen materials to add detail and features. Spruce lumber triboard, an engineered timber product used for construction site hoardings, was the unusual material chosen. >> Read more
