Louise Fili: Long Live the Queen

Made Twice in America: Barn Wood Finds New Indoor Home
Wood paneled walls got a bad rap in the 60s and 70s for being overused, dark and downright ugly. But the wood tiles from Everitt & Schilling give new life to wooden wall coverings.

Summer Trends in Bedroom Design
The look in bedrooms this summer is cool and light, strongly influenced by the Swedish manor house interiors and their traditional painted furniture. Colours are light creams and greys, and washed-out blues, allowing for the occasional splash of vivid colour on a throw or scatter cushions piled on the bed. Laura Ashley’s bedroom furniture range perfectly reflects this look; their delicate Clifton dressing table set with pendant drawer handles or the Bramley chest of drawers with painted top,

From Bedroom to Boudoir
A bedroom can be much more than just a place you go to lay your head at the end of a busy day. It can be refuge, a place of relaxation and peace, a space of supreme comfort. A woman’s bedroom becomes a boudoir – historically, in French chateaux the boudoir was part of ladies’ private apartments, where they went to bathe, gossip with their friends, read and embroider.
It’s unlikely that you will be wanting to work on your embroidery in your bedroom in this day and age, and the modern

Leaning Chair Uses 2 Vertical Legs + 2 Horizonal Supports
The first thing that most chairs start with is four legs – or at least three. Two is just never enough, or so the thinking goes … until one takes a cue from increasingly-popular, wall-leaning, two-legged bookcases, anyway.
An Lena is an attempt to challenge a basic principle of chair design, utilizing a wall and rubber friction grips to provide another form of support augmented by weight and gravity of someone sitting.

Binishells: Green Pods Reinvent Retro-Cool Housing Shapes
Curvilinear shell-shaped houses are generally a retro notion, but perhaps they were merely an idea before their time – a time, that is, when such things could be more easily constructed, mass-produced and deployed.
That idea, at least, is what Binishells appears to be banking on. So what, exactly, is different this time? “Using low air pressure to lift and shape reinforced concrete thin shell structures, poured at ground level, Binishells essentially use air as their form work.”

Hack-Worthy Wooden Furniture Fix Using Just One Walnut
Finding, buying or building great designs is one thing, but maintaining them can be quite another. Chips and dings in wood furniture can be especially difficult because any single-color solution (e.g. furniture marker) may be too blunt an instrument.
With that in mind, sometimes the fix for a natural furnishing is found in nature – say, in the form of a simple cracked-open walnut (particularly for those mid-toned, mid-century walnut furniture pieces, perhaps).

What different types of bed are available and who do they suit?
Choosing a new bed is a very big part of decorating your new room. Those that have decided to decorate their bedroom will most likely have a certain style in mind for the sleeping centerpiece, and should certainly consider what mattresses complement this like a tempur mattress for example.
They may choose to make it similar to that of the rest of their house. They may also choose to make it completely different – whatever your style, your bedroom should showcase the best in your design

Guz Architects‘ plan was, in part, to create something that felt like a one-story dwelling but sat up above the neighbors, treating the first floor like a basement (conceptually) and the second story with its green deck like a main-floor house and garden, with yet a third story and green roof on that.

Coffree: Flat-Pack Instant Coffee & Cup for Mobile Freedom
Instant coffee has gone from jars to single-use bags, but there are still a few missing elements: hot water and cups on the go. This nifty design addresses the latter, at least, bringing us one step closer to fully-mobile travel coffee.
Young-an Seok, Young-woo Choi & Se-ryung Nam created an essentially flat-pack cup with the grounds already inside, a tear-and-serve strategy that fits neatly in a bag.
While it is bio-degradeable, this itself is nothing really new – a paper cup is too.

Black Dog Publishing’s Material Matters: New Materials in Design

Light Rail: LED Hand Railings to Safely Light Up Staircases
Ever notice how brightly-lit stairways are? This is obviously for safety reasons, but less obviously: each and every last corner needs to be illuminated to make sure you don’t step into (and trip within) a stray shadow.
Since railings are also essential elements for safe staircases, it makes sense to let them light each tread and riser while also providing visual guidance for landings and other changes in direction or shape as one descends.
Zoran Sunjic envisions this as an extruded,

Creative Ideas On How to Brighten Up Your Kids' Beds
Sprucing up the interiors of a kid’s room is no easy task. It calls for high levels of creativity, while also keeping the child’s preferences and tastes in mind. Fragile wall papers and frail pieces of art are certainly not welcome in a kid's room, especially with a very naughty kid around. The sturdiest piece of furniture around the place is the kid’s bed and this medium is worth a creative experiment. How exactly can one brighten up or embellish a kid’s bed? Here are a few options to
Flexibin: Wonderfully Minimalist Wireframe Trash Receptacle
One piece of metal wraps and twists to form what may be the lightest and thinnest garbage can in the world – not even a can so much as a means of holding up a plastic trash bag.
Thanks to its less-defined shape, it can suitably hold all kinds of recycled bags without seeming over- or under-sized to the task. No need to worry about color clashing with the simple reflective steel, either.
The natural flexibility of the malleable material makes it easy to add and remove bags as well. Li

Sleeker Inflatable Solution Reinvents Basic Walk-In Bathtub
Designers have a difficult time making walk-in tubs look anything but, well, ugly. There are a lot of requirements (like size) that lead to a default solution that seems clunky in an otherwise-nice bathroom space.
This solution by Su Pin Chia works around these issues in a few interesting ways. First, its strong horizontals and divided sections break up the monotony of the megalithic form. Second, when not in use, it is simply much smaller since the sides can remain down rather than up.

Iconic Rubbish Bin

But sometimes you get confused, despite the pictures and explanations in the trash. So what better way than explicitly forming bin lid to let you know what goes where. As the designers said, "with the intent to revolutionize the recycling industry and make it more consumer-friendly, the idea is to make a GO bin recycling fun and convenience."

Adaptable Door Doubles as Emergency Earthquake Shelter
It is common knowledge in earthquake-prone places that a door may be your best bet for nearby safety if you cannot get to more-solid ground. Since doors are basically everywhere, it is a good place to start. That is where this design begins, but not where it ends.
Taking that everyday idea and reinforcing it, Younghwa Lee (MA Design: Product and Space design student at Kingston University) created a prototype door that anchors to the frame at the base, but folds down to provide protection
