3 Quirky Seating Options
1. SCRW Stool
German designer Manuel Welsky’s SCRW Stool allows users to stylishly adjust the seat’s height for the perfect fit.
From the website: Made from a high-quality steel pipe, the frame is an exciting contrast to the cork material from which the body is made. The massive cork cylinder appears light in this combination. Its unique features provide a comfortable seating experience.
Available here.
2. The Seatub
Created by London-based Korean designer Ki Kim, the Seatub allows users to summon the relaxation of the bathtub with the functionality of a lounge chair.
Price available upon request. For more information, visit Kim’s website here.
3. Straps Band Chair

3 Inventive Home Accessories
1. Bubble Tank
Richard Bell of PSalt (short for A Pinch of Salt) design studio in England created this “edgy” aquarium. While the tank may look on the verge of toppling over, the danger is only an illusion. Available for pre-order for £295 here.
2. Mapkins
Stop falling asleep looking at your boring napkins—instead enjoy napkins featuring a customizable map of your choice. These cotton napkins from San-Francisco based design house Soft Cities are 100% Kina cotton. Prices vary starting from $65 (for a set of 2). Available here.3. Nest Learning Thermostat
Feel disappointed that your thermostat doesn’t make any effort to get to know you? The Nest Learning Thermostat, created by prolific inventer Tony Fadell (he holds over 100 patents!), asks you a few questions and gets to know your temperature preferences. After about a week, it will take care of regulating the temperature automatically. Fadell explains: “Turns out you change the temperature in your house 1500 times a year. 1500! Our thermostat learns what temperatures you like so it can program itself. It senses when you’re out and turns itself down. And we started from scratch with design, so it’s beautiful. Gorgeous hardware, easy install, fully integrated software, remote control from your smartphone.”
Options include remote access and energy-saving modules. Priced at $249. Order yours here.

3 Sexy Designs
*Note: While we at FBN strive to bring you designs that are currently available, this installment of 3 Designs features designs that may not currently be in production. As usual, information will be provided below the photo(s).
1. HUG Chair
Bulgarian designer and winner of numerous awards including the RedDot Industrial Design Competition, Ilian Milinov created this chair to promote intimacy between couples, though there are many uses for this unique design.
Unfortunately, the HUG chair does not appear to be in production yet.
2. Buulbs Lamp
If you’re looking to take your classiness to the next level, this chesty lamp may be for you. Created by Russian Tembolat Gugkaev.
3. Modular ‘Love Mattress’ Made Flexible for Cuddly Couples
This bed-topping design by Mehdi Mojtabvi proposes a different-but-parallel approach, turning a single-piece cushioned support into multiple modules.
After a day of sexy chair-sitting and classy lighting, it’s time to get into bed and cuddle in comfort with the Love Mattress, brought to you by Iranian designer Mehdi Mojtabvi.
In an interview with freshome.com, Mojtabvi described his inspiration for the Love Mattress: “I believe that lovely embracing specially between partners is one of the most calmative and continues situations. Embracing and body connection after lovemaking is very important for strengthening relationships. […] Nevertheless, what usually stops this pleasant state is not mental tiredness; it is physical weakness. Considering different body forms and sizes and sleeping styles, it seemed impossible to find a solution for this historical problem at the beginning. Developing some raw ideas and correcting them step by step made this concept.”
