The Beat That My Heart Skipped – A blog dedicated to daily design inspirations. By Rohini Wahi.

Lee Broom, famed for his unique neon lit and light studded furniture, has returned with a new collection, again turning pre-conceived notions of interior furnishings on their head. ‘Carpetry’ is part of his ‘Heritage Boy’ range which transfers materials found in flooring onto furniture items. Carpetry features, immense sideboards, console tables and lightshades all embellished using traditional carpet patterns. Aren’t they pretty? The pendant light is certainly my favourite.

Other aspects of the range are ‘Parquetry’ using parquet flooring to create patterns on furniture and ‘Tile’ using traditional wall and floor tiles to create furniture items. See all of his concepts here.

More breezy Spring seating – have you seen this unusual contemporary lace print Gatsby armchair from John Lewis? It reminds me of a high street version of something Marcel Wanders might create…

Snug Studio is part showroom, part office and part workspace and is a collaboration between Interior Designer Kerstin Reilemann from Domestic Candy [who we featured last year] and architect Berit Luedecke that recently in Hanover.

They shared images of their wonderful studio in progress before its opening. You can see all the love and imagination that went into their space, I love the decorative touches in the simple area, like the garland of paper plates inspired by vintage plates.

In the studio you will be able to buy existing products from Domestic Candy and new products from Snug, like ceramic candle holders inspired by traditional cake molds, pendant lights created from vintage porcelain coffee filters, and wooden benches made using recycled chair backs.

If you like the look of their sweet studio, you can visit their online shop which opens in March.

These strange and beautiful creations are by designer Anna Ter Haar of the Netherlands. Titled ‘Cinderella’s Chair, the project involves blowing the glass directly onto the severed leg of each chair. Although delicate seeming the chairs are actually very sturdy to sit on despite their fragile appearance. Wonderful!
