It's amazing what you can do with a roll of toilet paper, but you probably never thought that toilet paper could serve as part of an art installation. Let's leave the modern galleries aside. In your home, you certainly wouldn't put it on display like a picture or a vase. Well, that may change after you meet the Cloud S concrete toilet paper holder.

Elinor Ericsson is a designer who lives and works in Copenhagen. When designing the Xme collection of colorful furniture, decorated with motifs she achieved using giant threads and a simple cross-stitch embroidery technique, she wondered why Nordic furniture design was missing something more - embellishments, colors, interesting patterns...
Humans are incorrigible. Although we convince ourselves that we are ecologically aware, little by little we sin in all directions. One such sweet vice is showering. All we really need is a few minutes, but we like to stay in the shower much longer. Since it's not a long shower, let them preach to us about environmental awareness.

It's likely that your smartphone has sparked an argument at your desk. Now Ikea has a solution. This will be part of the Sittning collection, a limited series of products that will also include a special Logged out placemat with a smartphone pocket.
You've probably seen many architectural ideas of the future, but the Dalian House is like something straight out of a science fiction movie. Its conceptual design was signed by the Preliminary Research Office, which gave it a deflected and asymmetrical shape. Its interior, on the other hand, resembles a copy of a prehistoric cave dwelling rather than futurism (if we disregard modern materials, of course).
Tetra Shed is a geometric mobile office for indoor and outdoor spaces signed by Innovation Imperative, an architectural practice.

Infinity C is a concept table or night lamp by Korean designer Jung Dongsung, which offers a glimpse into the future of lamps that will one day adorn our homes. Its shape resembles a magnifying mirror from a bathroom, except that both sides of the surface each serve their own purpose.
Polish designer Szymon Hanczar managed the impossible - he transformed a 13-square-meter apartment into a surprisingly functional home in which we find everything we need for everyday life.
