I love the Behive concept designed by Dutch designer and “Big Boss” of Extremist, Dirk Wynants. The entire Extremist website is a great resource for party/event planners. The Behive concept is based on a tightly stretched fabric suspended about 60 cm above the ground. You can either lie, sit or lean against the very comfortable side cushions. The springs all around the fabric ensure that it automatically adapts to the shape of your body, thus offering maximum seating or lounging comfort.

Im not sure you guys have picked up on my obsession with shipping containers yet but I have mentioned them in Pre-fab homes and art installations around the world. Dutch designer Sandra Mulder has created a series of interior shelving called Pandora inspired by containers.

This modular storage system is inspired by the wonderful color mosaics that sprout to life in every harbor and container terminal the world around. The individual pieces can be stacked, tilted and rotated around in endless (colour-) combinations, to create your personal container terminal for all domestic storage uses.
