Some of my recent Flickr finds – the classic Ikea Expedit bookcase. I admit to being biased on this one as an Ikea fan and a proud owner of an Expedit bookcase. The Expedit is such an affordable and well designed piece of furniture, easily assembled ( although my partner would argue with me on this ), available in a range of finishes/colours ( my preference goes to the white one ) and can be used to store books, toys, stationery, collections, CDs/DVDs to craft materials and pretty much everything you want to. For more Ikea Expedit on Flickr feel free to peruse its own group.

I feel so tempted to start a post category called “If money were no object” which would be kind of a wish list of items I lust after, so that I could feature pices such as the Capellini Proust Geometrica. Definitely an object of desire that I do not envisage being able to own any time soon.

Skate Study House, the brainchild of Pierre Andre Senizergues and Gil le Bon de Lapointe, reflects their passion for mid-century design, skateboard culture and California lifestyle. Their vision led them to create modern furniture or should I say, recreate popular pices of mid-century modern furniture - mainly Charles and Ray Eames as inspiration - through the eyes of a skateboarder.
