Paul Bellila: Massif
With minimal construction and hardware, Paul Bellila uses laminated wood and perfect joins to create the easily assembled, flat-pack design Massif. Its cross structure lends stability while its asymmetrical shapes add character and originality. With parts that protrude from the tabletop, Bellila’s design makes sculpture out of function. More details below.
Translated from Muuuz: Designer Paul Bellila, founder of Monolectif studio presents the Massif coffee table for L’Edito. This small table is assembled without nails or screws. The wooden pieces fit together just to give shape to the object. The table Massif was presented at Maison & Objet in January 2012.

Debra Folz pairs a functional mirror with a traditional decorative technique to create a unique narrative and a curious juxtaposition of materials. The unexpected combination of glass and textile incite construction intrigue while the viewer determines their position in the eye of the graphic target.
From Folz: Sight is a mirror. Using hand embroidery to compose a crosshair pattern softens an aggressive tool and associates a handmade process with an object otherwise mass-produced. Materials: Mirrored Stainless Steel, painted wood backing, and nylon embroidery thread [custom colors available] Size: 24″ Diameter
Thanks to Debra for her submission to designgush.

An interesting new solution for housing treasured books, the Spiga bookshelf delivers function with the joy of visual pleasure. The movement that Sgalippa creates in his piece is exaggerated by the roll of our mouse. As the cursor advances the page, the eye gazes forward and the Spiga bookshelf dances before us. Undoubtedly without coincidence, the supports that house the books mimic the form of an open book, reminding and inviting us to indulge in the reading experience.
From Enzyma: For some time, contemporary design has decided that the book in the library should not be vertical anymore. Spiga wall bookcase supports all the possible angles and dimensions in only one tiny element. The L-shaped shelf gradually changes the angle of rotation like the seeds of the ripe corn ear. The colored borders effectively display this sophisticated graphic game, which hangs in the research of the Op Art of the 60s and 70s. Compared with traditional bookcase, Spiga is a dynamic and sculptural presence adapted to a very rigorous feature. This vertical developed model can be single or modularly repeated along the wall joining together rear panels.
Thanks to Enzyma for their submission to designgush.

Bartholomäus Traubeck: Years
Slices of wood are turned into melodic biographies through this specially developed “record” player. Through the tree’s unique growth patterns, originally symphonies are made audible. Details from the designer below.
From Traubeck: A tree’s year rings are analysed for their strength, thickness and rate of growth. This data serves as basis for a generative process that outputs piano music based on the year ring data. Those are analyzed for their thickness and growth rate and are then mapped to a scale which is again defined by the overall appeareance of the wood (ranging from dark to light and from strong texture to light texture). The foundation for the music is certainly found in the defined ruleset of programming and hardware setup, but the data acquired from every tree interprets this ruleset very differently.

A form that is usually associated with one-time use takes on a permanence and preciousness when cast in vitrified porcelain. Leaving all original details from the carton intact, these pitchers are true depictions of the common milk carton. The all-white forms, devoid of graphics, let us appreciate the shapes for their utilitarian purposes and simple, elegant design while also creating an iconic and clever solution for containing and pouring liquid.

Barend Hemmes for Suck UK: Wooden Bulb
Measuring roughly 9 inches in diameter and 15 inches in length, the Wooden Bulb‘s design is inspired by the conventional light bulb but takes on an original status as a stand-alone pendant or table light. With laser cut precision, the flat wooden slats perfectly combine to create the three-dimensional form revealing its structure and construction.
From Suck UK: It’s made from laser cut wood, which leaves a crisp burned edge and creates a satisfying, waffle-like glow. Either hung from the ceiling or laid on its side, the Wooden Bulb will add a little tongue-in-cheek humour – as well as light – to any room. Unique and one off variations on this design can be produced by the designer in a variety of materials.

What magical land has photographer Richard Mosse discovered, speckled with fields of rolling magenta hills and shocks of pinkish-red vegetation? These beautiful landscapes are, of course, designed by the photographer, who uses recently discontinued Kodak infrared film to create breathtaking scenes and who stumps even the most cynical among us into imagining for just a moment that perhaps a fantasy world such as this does exist. Yet it’s not just a beautiful image that Mosse strives to create. Shot in the the Congo, these fairytale mirages duel the warring underbelly that exists throughout the land, as portrayed in the haunting images of the everyday Congolese lifestyle. The paradox of beauty and war live side by side in these photographs where the (perhaps) detached viewer is forced to take a second look into a reality previously only understood through news reports or other media. The project can be seen in its entirety through Mosse’s website, below.
