The Lack red wall shelf from Ikea offers a fun way to create space for books or other display items. First of all, red is a great color in the right setting. Imagine this sprucing up a teenager's room, a dorm room, or the wall of a contemporary apartment. The zig-zag pattern gives it extra design muscle and a bit of difference from the more traditional wall shelf shape. Lack comes in red or white and features concealed mounting brackets. Dimensions (l x w): 51 1/8" x 10 ΒΌ". Price: $29. Buy product: here.
Oh how I love Italian modern furniture, especially when it looks like the low seductive styling that Arketipo is known for. The "Loft" modular sofa sectional from designer Adriano Piazzesi is not the typical put it against the wall style with a stapled on back, far from it. This ultra low leather or fabric seating group features striking lines, thin metal supports, and an adjustable back with accent pillows so comfort won't be a problem. We have brought our modern furniture lovers several of the Arketipo products in the past, and I know there will be more in the future. See the entire collection of bold modern designs here.

This video is not new so I am sure some of our readers have seen it. I immediately think about the challenge in decorating small rooms and how great flexible furniture could aid in this solution. In particular, having people over is a real challenge if you lack the seating to make people comfortable. To my knowledge this product is not on the market for sale today. If someone knows other wise, let us know and we will update the article with the product link. I have to hand it to the designers on the creativity of this piece.
