There are a lot of people who are Star Wars fans, and today something for them. Inspired by the famous garbage compactor scene from Episode IV: A New Hope, these limited-edition hand-painted bookends flip that classic movie moment inside-out.
You’ll notice that instead of keeping the walls from closing in on them, Han, Luke, Chewbacca and Leia are all working to keep the books upright. Unfortunately, you’re going to have to wait a while if you want these for your room. They’re not coming out until April 2010. In the mean time, you can pre-order them over at the Star Wars Shop for $189.99 (USD).

Bookend Specially Designed for Star Wars Fans
Luna’s C30 Volvo Chair Design
The first place winner for the “Volvo For Life Design Awards,” designer Luis Luna’s C30 Volvo Chair is actually inspired by the back tail light on the Volvo C30… in fact, from the side you can even see where the light would be in the circular ottoman!
Interesting and adaptable, the C30 Chair is built so that the ottoman and magazine rack disappear into the original chair design or can be easily pulled out to serve as complete lounge set. An amazing idea for a deck chair (especially for those with spacious and organically-design patio areas), the cleanly-design C30 Chair is clearly ideal for those who love to kick back in style, and the images taken with the cosmopolitan are a clear signal. Just don’t spill your drink, the C30 was designed sustainably from cardboard.
Balboa Corner Glass Vessel Sink Vanity
Modern bathroom design has been steadily transitioning into a “simple is better” mentality over the last decade, and bathroom vanities have been following a similar trend. Take, for instance, the 23” Balboa corner vanity. Simultaneously striking and subtle in its design, the Balboa does seem to attract attention. But that’s the interesting thing about it: the Balboa doesn’t really try to attract attention. Modern vanities tend to maximize your space, at the cost of sacrificing all those extraneous design flourishes.
It should be noted that most modern bathroom vanities are very eye-catching despite their simple design, and the Balboa is no exception. Its wedge-shaped countertop is made from clear tempered glass, and its round edge is very smooth. The shape and choice of material for this vanity is very effective, and the Balboa will really draw attention to any corner it’s installed in
The Balboa is a wall mounted bathroom vanity, which adds to its visual appeal but also gives you plenty of leg room (or storage space) underneath the countertop. The Balboa is not equipped with shelving space, as is the trend with many contemporary bathroom vanities. This means if you’re an organization fanatic, you may want to find a vanity that better suits your needs. A towel rack is provided, however, and the built-in vessel sink does leave some countertop space for your toiletries. Overall, the Balboa is a great example of modern design principles in the contemporary bathroom, and its relatively low cost (about $480 at Bathgems) makes it a fine addition to any home.
Setu : Herman Miller Newest Office Chair Design
It’s much better and comfortable than a normal multi-purpose chair, however, even while it is supposed to be a multi-purpose chair.A few days ago at NeoCon 2009 in Chicago, US which was between 15th and 17th June Herman Miller unveiled its newest office chair called SETU. Herman Miller’s new Setu chair has a “kinematic spine”–inspired by the human backbone–that supports the sitter’s weight and gently forces the body into proper position.
Designed by Berlin-based Studio 7.5, the Setu line is meant to be a multipurpose chair. Inspired by a modern masterpiece, the chair has a mesh design lending it a cushioned feel. Suitable for desks and conference rooms, the chair is priced at $650. The price might seem high, but then again, its $650 price tag is not the Embody’s $1600. The reason for the price difference is that—even while it’s comfy and has great design—it is not designed to work for long periods of time.

Swedish designers from Greatboys present Shade
A clean minimalist design that looks modern enough for any interior, the 1.8 m long by 0.50 m in height and 0.40 m deep piece of furniture is both functional and appealing at the same time. I’d sure make room for something like that in my home.
Stockholm-based designers at Greatboys sure have what it takes to come up with a creative piece of furniture. Apparently they’ve released a desk dubbed “Shade” that uses the classic plastic shades as center stage.
