Peter Cook and Becky Northey began shaping plum tree since 1995 when they met, into living art they call Pooktre. During their first year they started shaping the young trees into a coffee table and a mirror frame. Over the years the trees were shaped and formed into tables, hat and coat racks, chairs, beds, mirror frames and anything else Peter and Becky decide.

The shaping process takes years. New trees are planted in the Spring and Peter and Becky harvest completed pieces in the Fall.

The idea is interesting, but I wouldn’t like such a weird piece of furniture in home.

If someone tells you about a bench or bed made from nails you of course think about torture…but the designer of the bench we are presenting now inverts that association with a smooth, curved and rippled surface for comfortable seating.

It was intended as works of art but it can be used as functional furniture too. If the nails are spaced closely enough and sufficiently smoothed there we could think of everyday furniture made like this. It will look kind of cool.

The deadly closet is not from a killer’s home, it is inspired from the classic magic trick of sticking knives in a box where is a woman. The closet features wooden “swords” that can be slide in the unit as supports or racks for clothes.

Too bad that it is not very good looking to put in a modern home. Anyway it is only a concept for now but for sure if it will go to sale, kids will love it for their bedroom.

The Mickey Mouse TV stand is perfect for kids and it is a great wall system for your flat-screen TV. But wait that is not all! Your kids can keep their collection of favourite CDs and DVDs accessible .

The TV stand is from Pacini Cappellini and it is constructed from lacquered MDF. It also has has two handy glass shelves.

What I like is that the resemblance with the Mickey Mouse cartoon is very subtle.

The Italian manufacturer Santambrogio Milano designed a new line of furniture using superdurable ultra-clear Diamant Glass by Saint Gobain.

This line of furniture is one of the only the latest in a growing line of glass furniture that Santambrogio Milano have produced. Some past pieces include tables, benches, chaise lounges, and entire kitchens and bathrooms all made of glass!!!
