| 3 Comments

I've actually seen this piece of furniture before and it still amazes me every time I see it again.  It's called the "Flexible Love".  A flexible chair that can be expanded and compressed to any length.

Buff Out and Remove Dents in Wooden Furnitures

Here's a trick from Apartment Therapy's Home Hacks 2010 on removing or covering up dents and dings in wooden furnitures.  I haven't tried this one yet but this looks very interesting and I might try this just to satisfy my curiosity. 

With just a piece of walnut, you can cover up small dents and scrapes in any wooden furniture.  If you are a vintage furniture collector or restorer, add this to your bag of tricks.

Below are the exact instructions from the article.

Furniture Design: La Bande by Sarah Lovgren

la-bande-furniture-01.jpg

Designed by Sarah Lovgren, a German product designer, this elegant looking and modern sculptural furniture can be shifted and moved around to change it from a basic seat to a recliner or vice versa. 

Any dynamic furniture just like this one would really be fun to use.  And because of its unique and artistic design, this may also be doubled as an accent piece to any interior design project; an elegant looking art and a functional furniture at the same time.  I myself would love to have this on my living room or my bedroom for my personal use.

Funiture Design: Radially Expanding Tables by David Fletcher

Here's an innovative furniture design I have stumbled upon on the net. 

Shown on the image above are two teak furniture, one is smaller than the other.  But, as I have labeled underneath each image, the table on the right is an after image of the table on the left after doubling its circumference.  This is the Capstan Table, a radially expanding table, designed by David Fletcher.

The Masters of the Tape Measure

Architects, Interior Designers, Engineers, Builders and anyone working and in some way connected to construction jobs use the ever so dependent Tape Measure

The tape measure, is a tool most commonly used for simply measuring things.  That's what we were taught in school but, little do we know that some people out there found other creative uses for this little tool called the tape measure.

'Bote-ful' Flowers by "Manong Artist" beside Lacson Ave.

bote-ful-flowers-01.jpg

A month ago, my girlfriend bought this sort of a plastic flower art piece from an old man who was making and selling this beside the street of Lacson Ave. near the University of Santo Tomas in Manila.  From afar, she thought that it was just a bunch of ordinary plastic flowers but, as she got closer, she noticed that it was unlike any plastic flower she's seen before.  It was made from recycled soft drink plastic bottles.  It reminded her of the recycled paper roll design that was posted here some time ago.  The old man who was making this by the side of the road was in his late 40s, my guess, and he was selling each piece for only 20 pesos which was approximately 0.42 US dollars.  He called them "Bote-ful" Flowers;  "Bote" - the tagalog word for bottle and then attaching the letters "ful" to make it sound like "beautiful" or "beautiful flowers".

Paper Roll Design: Forest Cutout

Here's a design idea - How about turning a simple everyday object, such as a paper roll,  into a work of art, and using it as an accent piece in a room.
