clamp.lamp
There are plenty of attractive lamps available but kudos to the desk lamp that doesn't take up limited desk space. The Artemide Talak Clamp Lamp is an attractive and slim lamp that clamps to the side of your desk, saving you from accidentally knocking your $457.60 lamp off the desk or competing for space. Unlike most modern lamps, the Artmide Talak Clamp Lamp doesn't use LEDs but instead utilizes an energy efficient T2 fluorescent light source. Designed by Neil Poulton, the lamp can be adjusted vertically and horizontally, rotate 360 degrees, and uses die-cast aluminum, polished chrome steel, and white matte powder for a coated finish.

edgy.comfort
These chairs have been getting a lot of coverage on blogs for some while, and being lukewarm on the overall design, I decided that the edginess definitely prevails over my hesitations on the basic form. The Divine Lounge Chair from Ventury Paris, found on Late Mag, is simple at first glance but the legs give the chair understated greatness, contrasting simplicity with French elegance. If you're interested in buying one or two new lounge chairs, Ventury Paris asks you to contact them directly. If you want your home to be stylish without outlandishness as a means, these lounge chairs will achieve your ends.

designer.lighting
Lighting is something that is particularly fascinating because of the endless designs, illusions, concepts, colors, and effects. While on Trendir I came across these light fixtures by Punto Zero. Whether a stand alone item or stationed in the wall or ceiling, Puntozero's fixtures are sculptures of art in their own right.

A pet isn't necessarily for everyone, but these dog beds could be for every pet. Found on Late Mag, each bed gives a touch of personalization with your choice of color for the cushion and acrylic. Available in three different sizes, the Mija Bed from WOWBOW ranges from £690.00 (about $1,110) for the small to £1400.00 (about $2,250) for the large. The beds are available in six different color options for the acrylic and seven for the cushion, providing enough options for any room scheme. Additionally, WOWBOW offers accompanying "dining tables" that range from £155 (about $250) to £290 (about $470), depending on the size, allowing you to get a complete and matching set.

contemporary.closets
There has been a rising push for larger closets whose improved spaciousness provides better organization and makes wardrobe decisions easier. The following closet by Spazzi offers glass walls, plenty of space, extra light, and seating to admire your collection. Found through Trendir, the Spazzi website offers a small gallery showcasing their work.
shower.cubicle
I've featured a doorless shower in the past but my main complaint was a lack of steam to keep you warm. The Revolution by Carmenta not only eliminates this problem but takes it to the other extreme. Offering a shower, dry sauna, and steam bath, you won't need to worry about the steam escaping. Available in four different sizes, the shower was found on Tendir with more information available at the Carmenta website.
