  • Melanie Porter at Tent London
    <a href="http://melanieporter.co.uk/" target="_blank">Melanie Porter's</a> showcased a warm and colorful mix of hand knit covered furniture that use found items for their bases. Her series features original cinema seats that have been given a new lease of life with a chunky knit wool. Additional works include textured lampshades, vase covers and cushions. <p> <strong><a href="http://melanieporter.co.uk/" target="_blank">+ Melanie Porter</a></strong>

  • Furniture Magpies at Tent London
    <a href="http://www.furnituremagpies.com/" target="_blank">Furniture Magpies</a> were back at Tent this year with a brilliant new collection that includes their first ever dining table, a series of mantel clocks and candle holders placed alongside their signature lamps. The dining table aims to give a take on some kitchen cupboard duties, with old drawers fixed below the surface to store wine glasses, plates, bowls and tea sets. <strong><a href="http://www.furnituremagpies.com/" target="_blank">+ Furniture Magpies</a></strong>

  • Daniel Schofield at Tent London
    <a href="http://www.danielschofield.co.uk/" target="_blank">Daniel Schofield's</a> coat eggs are a fun take on the traditional coat peg. Made from "free-range" FSC Beech, they come in boxes of half a dozen and are design and "laid" in Yorkshire. Clever! <p> <strong><a href="http://www.danielschofield.co.uk/" target="_blank">+ Daniel Schofield</a></strong>

  • Treasure Colection by Studio 180 Degree
    <a href="http://www.studio180degree.com/" target="_blank">Studio 180 Degree</a> delighted us with their Treasure Collection - a sofa and a stool which was born out of the desire to create an honest, handcrafted and eco-friendly sofa. Materials used include leather, natural flax, organic jute, twisted eco paper cord and wool yarn. <p> <strong><a href="http://www.studio180degree.com/" target="_blank">+ Studio 180 Degree</a></strong>

  • anthony hartley cable chair
    <a href="http://www.anthonyhartley.com/#!bespoke-collection/cdcd" target="_blank"> Anthony Hartley's </a>colorful designs are hard to miss, and we've fallen in love with his <a href="http://www.anthonyhartley.com/#!cable/c2271" target="_blank">Cable Collection.</a> This design gives 'flat packed' and DIY furniture a fresh new look and method, as Anthony introduces us to the cable-tie joint. You get to choose the component color combinations and can swap them around anytime by simply cutting through the table ties &amp; replacing. Hopefully this means there is less excuse for throwaway furniture as styles and tastes change. <p> <strong><a href="http://www.anthonyhartley.com/#!bespoke-collection/cdcd" target="_blank">+ Anthony Hartley</a></strong>

  • Sebastian Cox
    <a href="http://sebastiancox.co.uk" target="_blank">Sebastian Cox </a>reminded us of the importance of the wood source in his well-crafted furniture pieces that use locally grown hazel wood that the designer himself has copiced when harvesting the wood. Coppicing is a woodland management method that provides a renewable supply of wood. <strong><a href="http://sebastiancox.co.uk" target="_blank">+ Sebastian Cox </a></strong>

  • Arno Light by Emanuel Franz
    <strong></strong><a href="http://www.eleven.asp.waw.pl/1.html" target="_blank">Arnolight</a> is a fun set of three small lamps by Emanuel Franz that are made of turned waste wood and glued sawdust, shown as part of a show from <a href="http://www.eleven.asp.waw.pl/" target="_blank">students from Warsaw.</a> <p> <strong><a href="http://inhabitat.com/?attachment_id=439887" rel="attachment wp-att-439887" target="_blank">+ Emanuel Franz</a></strong>

  • Green Lamp by Zuzanna Malinowska
    This quirky green lamp by <a href="http://www.eleven.asp.waw.pl/9.html" target="_blank">Zuzanna Malinowska and Marcin Wronski</a> combines a plant pot and a table lamp to make a fun combination that puts the spotlight on plant growth. <p> <strong><a href="http://www.eleven.asp.waw.pl/9.html" target="_blank">+ Zuzanna Malinowska and Marcin Wronski</a></strong>

  • Oree Board
    The <a href="http://www.oreedesign.com/" target="_blank">Oree Keyboard </a>is a clever cocktail of carpentry and technology that is crafted from a single piece of walnut or maple. The keyboard can connect to any laptop or tablet via bluetooth. You can see our full post <a href="http://inhabitat.com/the-oree-board-is-a-wireless-wooden-computer-keyboard-that-mixes-tradition-with-technology/" target="_blank">about it here.</a> <strong><a href="http://www.oreedesign.com/" target="_blank">+ Oree Keyboard</a></strong>

  • Wally Bedside Cabinet
    The WALLY bedside table is the creation of <a href="http://www.sarakele.com/" target="_blank">Sara Kele</a> who exhibited as part of the <a href="http://www.fise.hu" target="_blank">Young Hungarian Designer's Association</a>. The table is formed from dozens of pieces of scrap timber, beatifully finished, and is supported when placed against a wall. Sara said of the design, "The bedside table is an experiment, in the spirit of eco-conciousness, to produce exciting and good quality furniture from leftover wood." <p> <strong><a href="http://www.sarakele.com/" target="_blank">+ Sara Kele</a></strong>
