The other kind of corner…

Posted: 20 May 2013 09:55 AM PDT

Shelving units that are adapted for the inside of corners are a common and useful storage solution, so why not expand this concept to outward-facing corners for even more space-savings? Designer Kim Hyung Geun answers this very question with his latest piece- a versatile shelving system that makes the most out of both kinds of corners that are just waiting to be used! Easy to mount and easy on the eyes, it’s a simple way to bring more shelving into compact spaces.

You Can’t Touch This!

Posted: 20 May 2013 01:11 AM PDT

Aptly put by the designers, the Lizard Umbrella sheds its handle as a defensive mechanism against thieves. What this means is that you get to take the umbrella handle with you, when it needs to be deposited in a public place, like a restaurant's umbrella stand. Without its handle, the umbrella appears to be broken and less desirable!

The tip of the umbrella stem is embossed with lines that slot only into the matching handle – much like how a key only fits into its corresponding lock. This prevents Lizard Umbrella users from mistaking someone else's umbrella or their own.

Designers: Kim Seokhui, Kim Seongjin & Kim Dasol

Clip Chic

Posted: 20 May 2013 12:01 AM PDT

For the not-so-serious businessman/woman, the Clip Bag playfully borrows its form from a common office item… the binder clip! Constructed of wool felt and aluminum tubing, the bag functions so well you might forget just how clever it is.

Lotus of Light

Posted: 20 May 2013 12:01 AM PDT

The Nenfa lamp takes inspiration from the shape of the lotus flower. The light structure grows from the ceiling, with each “leaf” suspended at a different height. The leaves are spread at random from the core, imitating the flowering pads. Composed of an impressive 21 discs, the lamp illuminates the space by reflecting light from one disc to another, creating multiple shadows. Flat LEDs are hidden in the upper part of the leaves, creating a visual illusion with regards to the source of the light.

Designer: Kutarq Studio
