Shedding light on specific areas in homes are needed by most but there would be some people who would want easier interaction that should require lesser effort. With these Interactive Light Objects from Viktor Alexander Kolbig, not only do these lamps or light objects provide light but also offer some unique interfaces that should be dandy for anyone’s use.

The variety of lamps include the Seide, Air Light and Water Light. The Seide lamp is activated using touch interface through a soft and smooth textile interface. The Air Light allows users to turn it on without touching it all where the hand simply needs to be placed inside the ring. An additional feature includes the changing of colors if the user turns their hand.

The Water Light is a lamp that stores water which acts as the main interface for adjusting the brightness and colors it would render. The amount of water added or taken away adjusts the amount of light, and stirring the water with your finger changes the color of the light- just like mixing water colors.

Fredrik Farg offers a cool new kind of furniture collection for you. The Succession Furniture Collection offer an animal-like form together with a feeling of movement. The collection is composed of textile leather shelving and stools that should provide the necessary comfort you would be looking for on trendy furniture collections to date.

The individual pieces are bound in rope, heated, and then cut loose to produce a seamless pattern that is as harsh as it is civilized. Coming in oddly different shapes, comfort seems to be there, especially if you want cushioned furnishings complimenting your pad.

Here is another bathroom design alternative from Felipe Ribon. This concept features textile basins and variable flow faucets. The fabric stretched over a metal structure and a water column is placed in the center. The smooth curve created by the tightened fabric creates a washing receptacle. In this unique receptacle, water flows easily and there is no place for dirt to accumulate.

The concept is applied to three basins such as the wall basin for washing the head area, a platform basin for washing the upper body area, and a cabinet basin for washing the entire body. This design won at the Red Dot Design Concept Awards in 2009.

Priscilla is a 1950’s rosewood chair that is a product of Adam & Viktoria, a Swedish textile and furniture design firm run by Adam Gistedt and Viktoria Nygren. The fabric is made in Portugal, and the furniture is upholstered by the designers in their studio in Drottningholm, a village near Stockholm.

So if you look at it, it seems that this chair focuses a lot on the fabric used. Although you can order the fabrics of the Priscilla chair separately, the whole lot costs $3,900.00.

If you liked these textiles cups then head over here for instructions on how to make them at home. Personally I found the cups quirky and fun but wonder if they are a tad impractical since they can be used only once.

Modern Lounge Chair

Check out the Shadow Lounge Chairs which come from the stables of Meritalia. Reeking of individuality, the chairs have no cast and formal bounds, and at every turn it becomes a different armchair. The polyurethane expands directly in the textile covering following the body shape and it solidifies generating stuff and structure: the covering is always twisted in an unpredictable way.

Vanity Insanity is the first that pops up in my mind when I look at the Vanity Easy Chair. This Upholstered easy chair is made from textile and reused leather from old jackets. Under frame in white painted metal. The quilt of worn leather with natural patina provides a greater value, and makes the modest chair to appear fashionable.

Remember the Big Bang Theory which your Physicist teacher shoved down your throat in school? While the theory itself may not be fun to learn, the Big Bang Chair sure looks fun!

Check out the Lipla Bed, a perfect choice for modern style living. Need we say more?

Lipla is a low and gently formed queen sized bed. It is relaxing not only for the body but also for the eyes. By relaxing the customary right angle between the headboard and the mattress, Massaud has sought to achieve a continuum free of abruptness. The result is soft lines upholstered in a very elastic textile that closely wraps the form and gives even more visual uniformity to the project.
