2. Human Head Knife Block

Shaped just like a human's head..

3. Heart Knife Holder

This red plastic knives holder and set is just too cool to be ignored if you put it in your kitchen.

I like the concept theory of The Ex Knife Set. This product is definitely cheaper than therapy. 

Decorate With: Suitcase

What could be more than just a suitcase?

Simple and Finished

They called it Fundamental Furniture..

For those who might have never know, let me show you some products design by Japanese furniture maker from Building Fundamental Furniture, one of the "form follow function" furniture maker believers..

Using a fine material with a sufficient design and accurate structure, leave it without any decoration but beautifully finished. They design furniture that is adaptable and modular, so that the user could freely changing the layout of their room, and also could be use for a long time due to the growth of the family.

These are my favorites.. (^^)

  

The basic furniture gives the user ability to arrange their room easily, and the variety of the wood could give a different touch for every room. Who knows that simple could be so much fun..?! :)

Convertible Furniture

I have a huge interest about convertible furniture since my last project at uni. I found the word 'convert' on the book Design For Kids and wondered what does that word means, like in a real product, you know, how does a convertible furniture looks like..??

I searched for the meaning of 'convert' and 'convertible' first and had found a lot! (At first I thought it was 'convertable' but then I know it was a wrong phrase) . So here I am with my own conclusion..

"A convertible furniture is a multifunctional furniture or a furniture that can be used with more than one configuration. With that kind of character, a convertible furniture could have longer life and could even save more room space than the others in common."

Anyway, I found this picture when I was googling for image but I couldn't find the owner so I'm sorry for not using the credit here.. Anyone knows? Feel free to let me know on your comments, thank you :)


This convertible sofa would be a perfect product in a small apartment, isn't it..?? ^^
