Gaya Fireplace

\

Safretti’s Gaya Fireplace has an ingenious design and occupies very little space. It is also very simple and elegant, the black colored wall making it possible to fit in any decor.

So what is it exactly? Well, basically just a clever wall that looks as if spiting fire. In a a gentile, fashionable way, of course.

The design is intriguing and I truly wonder who would not like this kind of furniture set in their own living room.

Spa Shower Heads

Designed by Sieger Design, these shower heads seem to appear out of nowhere. This is because no pipes or faucets are visible, they just look like a simple white box giving away water for whoever wants to enjoy it.

It’s a great design idea for those who want a simple, modern bathroom.

Fashionable Drawer System

This is from Czech designer Jaroslav Jurica.

Although this is meant to be a storage design that combines the new and the old, the modern with the antique, i feel it’s too much of a reminder of high school libraries to be embraced unconditionally by everybody.

However, it is very practical.

Light Bulbs Back In Time

Oyule is a lamp set made by industrial designer Sergio Silva.

The idea behind it was “to take a light bulb back in time”- as in when it was well appreciated and stuff, and make it a modern lighting device.

The position of the lamp is ensured by a magnet inside the “bulb” that “glues” to the acrylic surface beneath.

3D Whale Vase

This product is not yet on the market, but you have to admit it’s a pretty neat design idea.

A problem however may appear to be the fact that it’s made of two parts, which makes it a bit harder to move around, dust and whatnot.
