The iPod has made a huge impression on the music world as well as the design world with quite a few home furnishings emulating the classic music device. Italian artist Mirko Ginepro created the iTables for the Milan Design Week which I think will be a big hit. This cool coffee table offers a storage area below the surface and a see through window on top. The iTable is made custom order for now and you can contact Mirko Ginepro for one of your own.
Carsten Gollnick designed this wall shelving with storage called "Hesperide". The idea is simple to provide shelving, but at the same time offer some space to put things away. The storage compartments are not large in this product and thus don't make more of a "wall cabinet" type of statement in a room. More information: here.

According to Sempé, "I wanted to take a completely different approach: a settee lifted from the ground by a simple, fine structure which supports a comfortable seat. I was, at the outset, inspired by swing seats, the kind of rocking seats which one brings out in the garden in summertime, made from tubing and fabric, which possess a lightness I like very much". Ruché's rangy uprights and the undulations of its duvet combine to produce a harmonious union of rigorous straight lines and soft, welcoming curves. See the Ruché settee and the other impressive designer furniture from Ligne Roset here.

Moving away from the mainstream is "Collect" a modern dresser made by Schonbuch Furniture.
