The London-based design studio Scene has created this new sculptural ‘Poly’ light which was presented as part of the A.S.A.P collective’s exhibition during this year’s Clerkenwell Design Week. Inspired by the geodesic sphere, the white high-gloss aluminium lamp is constructed from multiple triangular segments which enclose the lightbulb within a metallic golden-coloured interior and the design can be either displayed on a flat surface or suspended as a pendant.

TRIS Chair - Old Plastic Roller Blinds Become A Chair

The TRIS chair is made from plastic roller blinds that, according to the designers, in Israel have no economical profitability in its recycling processes, as they’re now being replaced with aluminum roller blinds. To preserve and reuse the materials, they’ve designed a closed wooden structure in which the blinds are held. One side — where you sit — is flexible while the other side is locked.

The LL2 Rocking Chaise – Bluetooth Equipped Luxurious Leather Lounger

Imagination is the driving force for a good designer, since it is important to make their creation stand out from the rest of the clique. The design duo of Bonetti/Kozerski have successfully managed to create buzz around their LL2 lounger which seeks design inspiration from the interiors of the 1966 Lamborghini Miura. This luxurious lounger is truly rocking and is one the most visually dramatic pieces I have come across. Upholstered in the finest of leather, the chaise also comes equipped with a Bluetooth-operated sound system that has been discreetly integrated in the headrest of the lounger.
