The furniture pieces in this house are made and designed by Jonas Blondeel, Len De Paepe and the Stal Collectief. The house is in Washington right now, where it is trying to win the solar decathlon competition!

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.

Finally

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

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.

Those Germans… nice work chaps!

The German Design Council curated – at this year’s Milan Fair for the second time – an exhibition focused on outstanding contemporary German design. Alongside with products of namable German brands there will be prototypes created by young German designers, such as Mark Braun, llot llov and Formfjord. Design Deutschland 2011 will be on show at Carrozzeria in Via Tortona 32.

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.

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.

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.

A very simple yet elegant desk for those of you who don’t have a lot of space. A nice detail in the leg of the table, and attention for the combination of materials make it a well balance piece of furniture.

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.

The collection of these adaptive utensils for the domestic environment include a book-end accompanied by a book ‘finger’, a book display, a hook and a rail that clamp onto the side of horizontal surfaces, a hook to clamp on to electrical pipes, a candle holder, and a cable manager that can be clamped onto a table leg.

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.
