Skin ::: Innovative Sofa Collection ::: by Molteni&C
I found this sofa while browsing the net recently and just saw it again today on the Design Milk blog, so I had to share this uber cool sofa collection by Molteni&C. The Skin collection was designed by French architect Jean Nouvel for Molteni&C and consists of a sofa, loveseat, arm chair and ottoman. The design is super innovative and sculptural, the decorative leather seating area is structured and suspended using an aluminum tubular frame. It's extremely light, compact and so very, very chic!

Acrila ~ Modern Furniture with a Funky Twist!
Acrila is a modern furniture company from France, founded by Jean Christophe Bernard and partner Isabelle Bernard, that designs acrylic furniture in a very innovative and edgy way. Creating incredibly stylish and fun designs, but at the same time still maintaining the functionality of their pieces.
By fusing imagery with acrylic, Acrila has given us a fresh, "sky is the limit" type approach on furniture design. Seems like they could easily apply this concept to the Varia eco-resin materials from 3-Form. I've worked a lot with this material and LOVE IT!!
These are some of my favorites from Acrila, but be sure to check their site to view other more funky collections. Also, check out their other company Tense'it which applies the same technique and concept to architectural wall and ceiling installations...very cool!!

Stylish Bathroom Fixtures, Faucets & Fittings by Bandini
I love these modern designs by Italian company Rubinetterie Bandini . Designer, Marco Pisati and Bandini's fascination with new materials and technology manifest in a product that is more like modern art sculpture than bathroom fixtures and faucets. Both their modern and classic collections for the bathroom and kitchen hold a very beautiful pleasing aesthetic with innovative designs that are very inspiring.
Here are a few items from the Bamboo line of Bandini's bathroom fittings. I love how the angles of this collection have a subtle resemblance to a bamboo node.
The graceful rippling effect of the Ocean sink is simply stunning, especially when grouped together in multiples, as shown above! This line would be great in both a commercial or residential interior.

Modern Lighting by Jeremy Cole
I just love these aloe inspired modern lighting fixtures from the Flora collection by designer, Jeremy Cole. The fixtures are made of beautifully hand crafted porcelain and are designed to give both direct and indirect light emissions, creating a stunning lighting effect and display. They come in several styles and sizes and are available in opaque white or noir, but can be custom ordered in a variety of colors.
