Hide Your Valuable Stuff with Air Vent Secret Compartment
The Air Vent Secret Compartment is supposed to be a hidden place where you can hide your stuff. You can hide stuff under your mattress or behind various other things that a thief would want to steal, but that’s pretty unorganized. What if you could hide your valuables inside of something that’s so common, that it’s completely out of sight? With approximately one trillion air vents in the U.S. alone, the chances of a thief discovering your air vent safe are extremely minimal ( of course if he doesn’t already ready Freshome and saw this post ). To install it, just cut out a section of drywall, and put in the compartment fastening it with screws. It opens with a mechanism that is hidden in the grill and no one will see your stuff thanks to a black divider. Is not to safe, but is very well hidden you have to admit. Price : $260

Tsubomi Chair
Tsubomi is a really interesting chair, and I’m sure that you don’t see a design like this everyday. Tsubomi chair was inspired by a flower bud growing in the forest of KuKunochi. As you can see the inspiration can come from everywhere. In the near future who knows what shapes I might find. Now by looking at this chair I don’t think he is to comfortable because : is to low and you can’t use it at a table, or at you computer and those petals maybe flex, or are as stiff as the pictures seem to indicate ? - Via - Padstyle
Contemporary Furniture with Environmental Concern by Osisu
Love teak furniture but loathe the fact that precious hardwood trees have to be cut down for it? Then consider a piece by Osisu, furniture design. This small furniture designpany takes reclaimed teak (as well as discarded plywood, bottle caps and juice cartons) and fashions it into sleek furnishings that sell from its Bangkok head office and outlets in Paris and Los Angeles.
Osisu's founder, Singh Intrachooto, 39, never intended to be a furniture designer, but his environmentalist scruples made him one. About a year and half ago, the M.I.T.-trained architect was dismayed to see a fleet of trucks turn up at one of his project sites every evening to haul away tons of rubbish. "I thought to myself, 'Wow, I'm building an energy-efficient building but I'm still producing a lot of waste,'" says Singh. He discovered that the garbage--including perfectly good plywood--was being incinerated, dumped in landfills or left by the roadside. Spurred into action, he started making furniture from the unwanted wood and sneaking it into office buildings he'd designed. Clients approved, and as more people began inquiring about the pieces, Singh and business partner Veeranuch Tanchookiat set up Osisu (the word is from the Finnish sisu, meaning "to have guts").
While still relying primarily on construction sites, Singh also sources his materials from lumberyards, factories, junkyards and even juice bars (for the aforementioned bottle furniture designing up with new ideas for furniture is tough, Singh admits, because he starts with scraps. Given the constantly changing nature of the raw materials, no more than 20 pieces can be made for each design. But this limitation is also an advantage--customers are willing to shell out top dollar for handmade designs they can be sure very few people have. "I want to celebrate life and the im perfections inherent in my raw materials," Singh says. "My designs furniture designe out very edgy." He is currently preoccupied with figuring out how to turn other kinds of leftovers--such as fiberglass resin that's sprayed on plastic bathtubs--into furniture. "I keep believing that if I do this, this world would be nicer," he says. There might be a few more teak trees left standing, too.

Family Dinning Table from the Future : Kure
“The dinners are one of the most special times for all families.” - This was the idea from where Turkish designer Fatih Can Sarıöz started this project, that is just an interesting concept for now. Named Kure this family dinning table that appears to be something from future it is designed like a flower that opens up to a full-fl Beverly Hills: Edge / Leather Sofa Setsd dinning table. Shaped as a sphere when close, it can occupy any corner of the house. Fitted with a light source in the center, the base too glows with blue light. Pod-like form accommodates six dinning chairs which can also be used otherwise also. An alternative set of furniture that aims to bring the whole family together at meal times, Kure doesn’t really help to save space. The sphere seems to occupy almost equal room when closed or in use. - Via
