Trolleys by Studio Knol and Christiaan Bakker
Totally Trolleyed
Airplane trolleys have long been a favourite target of upcycling projects by designers but few have been as ambitious as Studio Knol and Christiaan Bakker, who were commissioned by KLM to create a multi-functional cabinet from a "cluster" of airplane trolleys.
The striking cabinet-shelf-table retains the familiar details of airplane trolleys, from castor wheels to handlebars. The multiple compartments are designed to accommodate the needs of the urban nomad who wants to "fit your whole life in a box". Perfect for aspiring trolley-dollies and those who want to capture the romance of flying (pre-budget airline days, of course).
Customised "clusters" of the Trolleys closet is now available to order from Studio Knol.

Shutter House by State of Kin
Japanese zen style goes far beyond minimalist white spaces. It is about thoughtful spaces which encourage the contemplation of light, colours, textures and shapes - the building blocks of nature and beauty. The Shutter House in Perth is a great example.
Terrazzo Things from Lick My Brick
There was a time when the use of marble was largely restricted to floors, posh kitchen counters and grave statutes. And then, at some point around the mid-noughties, marble was everywhere. Could the same be happening to terrazzo?
