Insipred by the lotus flower, designer Vladimir Usoltsev created this amazing set of furniture. Delicate, yet not to fancy, the table is perfect for when having guests over. It also “folds” back into place when you need space.

This interactive table has a mind of its own. When you grab one chair from underneath it, a soft light appears. The light becomes more intense as you pull all the chairs out.  Simply fascinating!

A very practical idea from designers Tom Ballhatchet and Jack Godfrey Wood. Even though these shelves are independent from one another, they can also be placed together to form an interesting looking bookcase.

Ingenious!

From British designer Ben Mazur, Swaybath is a revolutionary bath concept.

How does it work? The shower head above the tub fills it with water which is ultimately drained through a valve. The tub is made out of silicone. This material has the great advantage of shaping itself to the body of anyone taking the peaceful bath. That is why Swaybath has the ability to change sizes, according to the person that it holds inside.

It can also be stretched by modifying the bottom and sides.

You can go with the combination of your choice, with dark colors or a more “lively” theme, depending on the overall atmosphere you want your garden to let out. The lights inflate in about ten seconds, so no matter how short-notice a party is, you oculd be prepared.

“Pocket Library” by Ariel Jacubovich is an ingenious design idea for storing things like books, CD’s, old letters or jewelery. What you see in the picture above is an expanded “box”. When it is folded, the shape becomes a 21 inches (55 centimeters) cube.

The pocket library is equipped with handles so it is rather easy to carry around and it also has strings and little shelves to hold the books into place.
