Alternative Title: LEGO compatible furniture, so you don’t accidentally step on them.

Studio NINE’s Lego compatible furniture aims at being a playground for your children. The furniture comes with a machined textured layer that’s all too familiar. Made from Corian, the polymer-based marble substitute, the furniture has a premium feel and a simple design… The purpose of this simple design being twofold. It can either blend well into a house with Scandinavian styling, or can be infinitely decorated by using pieces of Lego that just simply snap onto the furniture’s dot-embossed surface. Yes, it also means lesser chances of your foot accidentally stepping on a loose piece of Lego lying around on the floor… Plus, like Lego itself, the furniture is perfect for all people of all ages!

If you are anything like I am, you have quite a few electronic devices that you use daily and always seem to be having to charge devices throughout the home. Having cables running out of every wall outlet can look cluttered and really mess with the style of the home – making for a messy, unorganized feel.

Designers have been coming up with ideas to charge our devices in new ways such as induction charging – ridding ourselves of the need for so many wires to get tangled up in. Designers at London based design studio, Blond have created a case study with Duo, focusing on both induction charging of multiple devices, and style.

The charging docks of Duo, are made from Corian and are milled to help tolerate wear and tear longer, while having a finish that looks amazing with any home interior. Duo gets its name from its two charging docks – one charging dock for the speaker and the other for your mobile devices. The speaker can easily connect to your mobile device via bluetooth and allows for 360 degree sound. A great, modern design for any home and a great product idea that I hope see come to fruition.
