Benches are important especially to parks, plazas, school fields and any other open areas that has high foot traffic. Here is where most of the tired park goers, students and passersby rests by having a good and relaxing sitting moment. However, designer Remy and Veenhuizen has designed a bench called the Reef bench that has a completely unique design that will serve as an impressive seating landscape for one of the high school in Zoeternmeer, Netherlands. Laced in a gray tiled roof top, the Reef bench gives a lively setting of the once dull and dry area. With this artistic design, students will surely love to sit and unwind. -via

Lamps are into various designs and all of them fit in different house designs and themes. However, this elegant lamp design by Emanuele Zener for Cattelan Italia called flag is extremely different from the other because aside from its elegant design, it has a feature that will let you position the light exactly where you most needed it. In addition, the elegant lamp is available in colors like white, black, red and silver fabric. The large floor can be bought at $1,220, while the small ones are available at $620. I highly recommend this lamp to those who are fond of reading for they need some lighter lamps, or those who are just fun of having elegant lamps in their room can also enjoy this lamp. - via

The cultural anthropologist Gordon Huse said that there are two customs characterized in our lives – sitting on a chair, or sitting on the ground. For centuries, the Japanese have sat on the ground (the ‘za-seat’). The mixture of the meditated style of yoga from India and the religious training from China influenced this custom. After Dogen brought Soto Zen to Japan, the tatami mat became associated with the traditional tea ceremony, and has always been used throughout Japan for this custom. If you like, think of tatami as a philosophy of sitting.
And the Tatami Flight Chair and Bench Sofa are a modern interpretation of this philosophy. The frame – available in both light or dark bamboo – has tatami as the seating base and kimono fabric as its backing. The tatami base concentrates one’s attention on thought, and allows for peace of mind in meditation. And no extended periods of sitting on the ground are required!
