San Francisco and Oakland are lucky to have furniture designer, Adrien Segal. Her River Table takes waves to the next level. Layer upon layer, the table’s shape and form mimics the contours of a flowing river. The natural wood top cascades right over the edge to create a unique and functional piece.

A recent graduate of California College of Arts, Adrien’s work can be found in local stores and galleries through out the San Francisco Bay Area and internationally as well.

High gloss paint and natural wood criss cross each other as Raw-Edges combines three distinct benches into one interlocking art piece. Art, that just happens to be furniture… Again! The Plaid Bench is one of many beautiful, colorful and sophisticated creations from the seemingly unstoppable young duo, Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay.

This plywood, pine and hardwood work was on display with 9 other benches at The Lollipop Shoppe’s Bench 10 at this year’s London Design Festival.

City dwellers! Plant away with this simple planter by Greenbo. These brightly colored pots are built to last with UV-safe polypropylene. Your plants just might last, too; deep containers and removable drainage trays allow for easy care without drowning your neighbors below!

Balconies are extensions of the rooms they adorn – choose from nine colors to complete your interior outdoors. Turquoise, white, green or grey, perhaps? These square footage savers are great in lofts, as well!

Modern Circular Carpeting!

I fell in love today. This Atlas Carpet Mills’ carpet has an enormous effect on a modern interior! The Contour’s concentric waves span 14″ circles across the floor. Like carvings, the ripples add subtle art to any room. The colors are just as lovely as the form: the two-tone colorways create a slight holographic effect. The predominant color seen depends on the your lighting and viewing location.

The colors, shadows and tactile curves of this carpet literally made my day! My feet would happily wake up to the Contour carpet for years on end.

Computers can see! They can search images based on visual attributes such as color, shape and texture. This tool is ideal for novices wondering which colors will go well together, as well as color lovers who wish to indulge in instant gratification.

Select up to 10 colors from a palette of 120 for an instant mosaic. The Idée Multicolr Search Lab currently searches 10 million of the most “interesting” photos on Flickr, while its professional counterpart, Multicolour Search Lab, riffles through a mere 2.8 million stock images from Alamy. Could this be the end of shredding magazines for inspiration boards and collages?
