This Headphone Stand Looks Like a Sculpture Even Without Headphones - Yanko Design

Arco is a headphone stand designed to feel like a finished object, whether or not there is a pair of headphones resting on it. Carved from a single block of wood or stone, it has a smooth arc that gives the headband a gentle resting point and a solid base that reads more like a small piece of furniture than an accessory. When empty, it still looks complete, adding subtle presence to a shelf or desk.

This Trolley Stacks and Rotates Like Shipping Containers at a Port - Yanko Design

Most storage furniture sits where you put it, fixed shelves and cabinets that do their job but rarely respond to how space changes during a day. Trolleys help with mobility, but they often feel generic, more utility than character. Harbor 051 is a storage trolley that borrows its logic from a place built entirely around movement and stacking, Busan Port, where containers shift and cranes swing in a constant choreography.

Dig in to Momos by Jose A. Gandia-Blasco for Gan

There's something about the ubiquity of a dumpling - made with love in many cultures, working to package a number of traditional fillings within its folds, starch and sustenance conspiring to form the building blocks of food culture. MOMOS by José A. Gandía-Blasco for GAN translates the warmth and comfort found in dumplings to dimensional textile furnishings, adorning an array of pieces including a pillow, pouf, and rug.

Rylee Hollis uses dreamy watercolour textures to paint cowboy dogs and punk mohawks

Well known for its unique texture and unpredictable nature, this Texas-born and Toronto-based illustrator somehow gets a leash on it, creating semi-airbrushed, dreamy and playful scenes between eccentric characters and luminous colours. Dense with subjects and textures, Rylee's compositions explode with action and motion - like in The Cartoon Saloon, anthropomorphic animal cowboys drink, play cards and draw their pistols in a beautiful gradient that captures a moment where the dusty saloon is lit up by the firing of a revolver.

serrated charred wood shell encloses suburban residence on the hills of tbilisi

The project responds to the fence-dominated suburban fabric characteristic of the area, where narrow streets, compact plots, and tall perimeter walls limit visual connection, daylight access, and spatial continuity. Rather than positioning the house behind a boundary wall, the design integrates enclosure into the architecture itself, using the building as a continuous perimeter that defines and protects the site.

Bianca Censori's Bio Pop Furniture Debuts a New Kind of Feminist Critique

The debut explores the idea that while we create the world around us, that world simultaneously creates us. It's a concept long familiar to architects, for whom design has often been framed as a civic duty. Yet Censori's approach is not without precedent. A surge of feminist artists in the 1960s and 1970s, including Alina Szapocznikow, used the body, or its absence, in conjunction with furniture to explore domesticity and sexual liberation.

Each brings extraordinary promise, but each introduces more complexity, more interdependence, and more latent pathways to failure. This elevates prudence to be critical.
