For something in the home that’s suspended, this Cloud Lamp is an ingenious idea for a lamp designed by Zhao Liping. It was apparently inspired by the poem of Xu Zhimo.

Mirrors cut out in silhouette shapes have been around for a while and though these “water” mirrors aren’t exactly subtle, we love their design for the look that just works with the idea of a mirror surface. Reflecting just like standing water, but stuck on a vertical wall.

The detail in the edging is superb. Designed by Rikako Nagashima and Hideto Hyoudou, they even come with puddles to be installed on the floor below them.

Photographer Yusuke Suzuki created this fun page turner of a bed that looks like a giant book. During the day it can be closed to create enough space for children to play in their room but at night it is opened up for the kids to sleep in.

London-based designer Shin Azumi created this curvy stool which looks a bit like a fortune cookie. We’re not sure whether you’d slide off this thing, but perhaps it’s better to be look at than hidden under someone’s ass.

We’re loving the dual function of this ashtray / incense burner by Japanese-Italian design duo Misto-o. The reversible saucer is simple, looks good and allows you to go from stink to fragrant at the flip of the wrist.

We’re loving the design of this house near Jakarta, designed by Indonesian architects Aboday. It incorporates an internal spiral concrete slide so that the family kid can get down to the kitchen from his bedroom in double quick time..

I particularly like how Gary used reflective surfaces on the ceiling and floor to take the attention away from the marks that are caused by moving the walls around so much. Hats off to him – this is one way to make living in Hong Kong’s tiny apartments desirable!
