Waldemar Pfeffer sent Furniture Fashion this recent submission featuring candles that float. This cool concept is created by using magnetic force to have the top portion float in the air. This can be done for items other than candles such as small home décor items and keepsakes. Waldemar currently works in Germany as a mechanical engineer. A link to Waldmemar's website can be found here.

Here is a great space saving table created by French designer, Adrien Guerin. Called Olit, this piece of furniture combines several unique elements into one tidy package. First is perfect size for a nightstand or accent table. Secondly, it has a storage compartment which is great to keep a home from becoming cluttered. Third, the table top comes out to become a serving tray or laptop table. If you are like me, you often have a laptop in hand so this table is perfect for those of us that are always "wired in". More information about Adrien can be found here.

Australia has some wonderful natural landscape and the Cape Shank House by Jackson Clements Burrows Architects is a fine example of a modern home that has adapted well to its environment. This angular dwelling features a great view from a suspended section of the home with a full view of the horizon. This is a great combination of modern architecture and how the clean lines of contemporary furniture and accessories can come together to create a very harmonious look. I especially like the designers approach to recessed features such as lighting, book case niches, as well as opposing angles and natural elements. Via
Archdaily ran a great story on a nine unit condominium project in Manhattan designed by Japanese architect, Shigeru Ban. I have to say that these pictures are fabulous. A neat feature is that these units use retractable shutters. Where some people may argue that a closed up unit may not be that attractive, it is hard to refute its energy savings. Having lived in Florida for a few years with the eminent storms there, shuttered up units do not take that much away from the landscape from my perspective. The inner room pictures feature great home décor and the penthouse terrace is tough to beat in this house design. Via.
