Sofa Wall Climber - Canape
There is no way you can miss this sofa design by Lila Lang. One half is a plain looking sofa with a decidedly curvy old fashioned style. The other half appears to be climbing the wall! You have to admit there is something whimsical about this design. On one hand it fulfills a function - somewhere to sit on. On the other hand, it is a perhaps a piece of art or even a statement about things driving us up the wall perhaps? If you tilt your head and view the wall as the floor, you will notice the Canape is almost symmetrical designed so it should fit corner walls in either direction. This design was recently featured in an exhibition Parcours Saint Germaine in Paris France. - Via
Branch Bookshelf
Shaped as a tree branch, this supposed bookshelf looks like a part from a super tree that managed to grow through your walls. With an unique and simple design inspired by the nature this branch not only supports books or objects, but it can also as be used as a clothing rack. This piece was designed after the designers ( Wokmedia ) went to work in Sri Lanka, and they experienced a culture shock. They wanted to take a reminder of the feeling of the flooded environment home so they transformed the image of “partially submerged trees” into shelves. Now if you want a creative way to store your books, you can try to find a sturdy branch like the one above and set up your own branch shelf. - Via

House Design - ADA Bathrooms for Aging in Place
When renovating your bathroom there are so many questions you ask yourself: What color scheme should I use? Should I get a freestanding tub, or a deck mount? Chrome or Polished Nickel finish? All of these are good questions to ask about the aesthetic aspect of the room, but what about the function of the room... Is this a place you're going to live in for a few years, or are you there for the foreseeable future? If you are planning to do a full renovation of your bathroom, chances are that you feel you may be in your home for the next 10-20 years+. Why not plan for aging in place?
Aging in Place simply means that you plan to live on your own as you grow older, and prepare your surroundings to accommodate your future needs to stay independent as long as possible. To do this, you need to put in place assurances that the space will continue to be accessible, safe, and will fit your abilities.

animi causa’s chouchou and inflow tablestags: livingroom
MODERN YET MESSY TYPES will love Animi Causa’s Chouchou and Inflow tables which literally absorb loose artifacts with little more than a half-hearted shove. Hundreds of meters of elastic string are tightly wrapped by hand around a steel frame, and requires several days’ lead time to produce. This makes not only for an interesting texture but ample opportunities to squirrel away magazines, cables and tv remotes–not to mention the Occasional wine bottle.
