Danish designer Ditte Maigaard has created the Split Personality sofa.
Split Personality has been created based on two opposite types of personalities.The nature of their differences supplement each other and give the furniture a wide range of applications.
The shape and the textile expression has been created in unison, and it is exactly in the meeting of the textile and the shape of the furniture where the Split Personality
really comes into character.
Karim Rashid has designed a collection of metal tiles for the Australian manufacturer ALLOY.
Karim Rashid says:
I have always been obsessed with patterns. Working with ALLOY has given me a great opportunity to play with the idea of pattern, grid, and repetition. A pattern is a way of giving richness and depth to our Cartesian landscape. The more diversity of line, shape, and composition, the more interesting a single cell is. The undulating, curvilinear forms give a 2-dimensional surface a sense of 3-dimensions. These elements repeat in a predictable manner but they are designed to contradict the square tile. This collection for ALLOY is organic in shape because I believe that the world needs a softening and a more fluid human spirit.

Italian furniture manufacturer Lago have introduced the Col-Letto Bed.
Is it possible to create a bed that is comfortable and cozy as a nest? How would you sleep if wrapped in a visual and sound barrier that runs around the mattress?
A ring of “soft foam” to relax and escape from daily routine. A “collar” for the bed can open right, left, or be completely rolled up or down like the neck of a turtleneck.

Imagine being able to subtly show off exactly where you’ve been on your holidays. Well, with the My Scratch Map scratch-off maps, it’s easy to make anyone who pops round feel thoroughly jealous of exactly how well-travelled you are. On first glance, it’s quite a classy-looking wall map, but if you carefully scratch off the places you’ve been on holiday, it reveals some lovely colourful and geographic detail. More importantly, though, it’s perfect for letting everyone know how exotic, learned and very Palin-esque you are.
The top layer of the map is gold foil for easy scratching, and you only need to rub it with the edge of a coin, scratch-card style, to reveal the gorgeous detail underneath. This makes a super gift for anyone who’s been around a bit (geographically speaking, obviously), and a great talking point for wherever you might hang it. The only problem might be the excessive amounts of money you’ll have to spend on trotting around the globe so you can finally reveal that missing patch of Belize or Inner Mongolia that you so desperately want to see the detail of. Palin’s one would be amazing.
