What's Inside Counts by Parker Hutchinson
In three years' time, when today's trend-conscious consumers are left mourning their dated collections of mid-decade orange objects, owners of products like the Swopit table will have the last laugh. This adaptable furnishing by Sweden's Form Us With Love has an evolutionary advantage; it's customizable from the get-go, so its look can change with your every aesthetic whim. You can easily slip any flat object between its two layers of transparent acrylic, guaranteeing its survival through countless home or office redesigns.

Brad Teasdale Mosaics
Brooklyn-based artist, Brad Teasdale, blends contemporary concrete and glass design with classical mosaic craftsmanship. Teasdale's aesthetic stems from a juxtaposition of the materials themselves. He combines glass, concrete, wood, and steel to articulate natural contrasts of "light and dark," "grit and beauty" and "permanence and change." His latest project, "Leela" (which means "god's play in Sanskrit), is a custom installation. To create it, Teasdale...

Mealbox
Now imagine all of that above fitting into all of that to the right. You might be exclaiming "Oh golly! Those ever so clever designer folk! What will they think of next?!"

RISD's New Digs
Known for alumni who consistently go on to shine in nearly every creative field from architecture to cinematography, it's only logical to apply the principles of good design taught at RISD to daily life in the dorms. It's even better still to use in-house talent like planners did when confronted with furnishing a new dorm. The housing director turned to DEZCO, a firm made...

Missed Connections
Let's talk about feelings. According to Dutch design house Demakersvan, it's a subject not often enough addressed in the contemporary design world, and their assertion just may be true. The vast majority of furnishings either look good or perform a function well, or, if you're lucky, both. They sit idly in our living spaces and favorite clubs, reflecting little more than our tastes and...
