The Bureau Desk is a uniquely shaped home office desk designed by Martin Holzapfel that cleverly incorporates the functionality of a bookshelf. The desk is comprised of two separate elements, and allows the user to individually position each piece to fit the available space. The shelves allow for objects to be stored out of plain view, and are large enough to fit your laptop or office supplies.
This interesting lamp concept comes from Swedish design firm Cate & Nelson, and is appropriately named the Mr Twister Lamp. The lampshade is split into three parts, each of which can be swiveled around, effectively letting you choose where you want the light to spread. When closed, small openings between the tree parts allow light to shine through.
Daniel Loves Objects is the alias for a very talented industrial designer based in Singapore who created some rather unusual furniture pieces. The “Of War & Wits & Power” bookshelf depicts a golden army guarding their most prized possessions.

With the help of Alrik Koundenburg and Joost van Bleiswikj, the Amsterdam based creative agency Nothing took the idea behind the company name (turning nothing into something) and applied it the design of company’s office. Using a ‘no screw, no glue’ technique the office features walls, tables, shelves, beams, and even a staircase, all made from nothing but cardboard!
