Good morning everyone! Today's post is all about new products emerging in the design field. I will focus on these new products; leather wall and floor tiles, livinglass-fresh glass, cascade coil drapery, lighting, and classroom furniture.
First, the product above is new leather tiles. Interiordesign.net says that "in nature, every creature is unique and every hide has its distinctive features. Blackstock takes the best that nature has to offer – premium 100% full grain bovine leather – and enhances its natural beauty to create exceptional leather floor and wall tiles as variously beautiful as nature itself." This product is very unique and is a creative way to add interest to a wall or the floors. These leather tiles offer two premium grades, an economical, all natural, Eco-friendly option and custom imprinting offering infinite possibilities. Here are some specifications for this product:
MATERIAL: Premium 100% Full Grain Bovine leather tiles.
SIZING: Varies. 20 Standard shapes & sizes available. Custom sizes.
OPTIONS: Magnetic and Adhesive installation options.
COLORS: 140 colors available.
TYPE: Leather Floor & Wall Tiles.
FLAMMABILITY: Naturally Fire Retardant.
The next product is called livinglass-fresh and is shown above. This product is similar to other forms of resins and glass partitions and applications but this product is completely sustainable. It is made 100% recycled glass and comes in many different patterns for every style.
The last new interior material I will discuss is Cascade Coil drapery. This new product is a little out there but is a great alternative to actual walls or partitions. It can create a sense of closure yet still provide light, interest and openness to a room. Interiordesign.net states that this product is "flexible woven wire fabric for window treatments, ceilings, wall coverings, space dividers, building cladding, blast mitigation, semi security, fireplace screens, animal containment and more."
Lighting is next on the new innovative products. This crazy looking chandelier to the left originated all the way in India!! It is named The Flame of the Forest Chandelier by Stephanie Odegard Collection. "The Flame of the Forest tree has been revered in India for centuries; its flowers, leaves and stems are still used in traditional ritual and ceremony. During the spring festival of Holi, the unique crescent moon shaped petals are used to prepare traditional natural colors. Each chandelier is designed and handmade in India by Viya Home for Stephanie Odegard Collection." The light fixture to the right is a sconce. "It is made of 350 handcrafted porcelain ceramic leaves geometrically arranged for even light distribution. Stainless steel frame, central glass diffuser & retractable lamp gear. Ceramics retained via patent alloy/silicon fixings. Discreet white ceiling rose complete with stainless steel wire suspension system."
node desks verb tables media scape
Last topic for this morning is classroom furniture. We have come a long way from your old small wooden desks. There are so many new innovations coming to the world of classroom design. companies are rethinking the way students need to learn and observing how to improve upon current conditions. Steelcase is a major contributor to new classroom furniture. I recently visited the steelcase representative company here in Jackson and got to see first hand all of the new products. One of my favorites of there classroom collection is the node desks. They are so practical and make it easy and fun for students to interact with each other and the teacher. Other new products include verb tables and media scape's which both involve an interactive classroom style of learning.
I hope that I have gotten y'all excited about what's new in the design world and have also sparked some interest. Stay tuned!! I've got more products to come!!
