Furniture: David Weeks Sculpt Collection

From Francesca:

David Weeks, one of our favorite lighting designers, has just introduced his first furniture collection. The Sculpt line of upholstered pieces is inspired by topographic maps and Barbara Hepworth’s modernist stone sculptures. Weeks started out as a sculptor, which is evident in the asymmetrical shapes that appear to float on a stainless steel frame. The 10-foot sofa ($15,000), 8-foot sofa ($12,300), and armchair ($6,720) are serious investment pieces; available at Ralph Pucci International. See 10 Easy Pieces: Mod Bath Sconces and 10 Easy Pieces: Desk Lamps; also see Our Houses.

Kitchen: Bulthaup b2 Workshop

From Julie:

Forward-thinking German kitchen design house Bulthaup presented its latest system last month at the Milan furniture fair—the open and mobile b2 Kitchen Workshop. The system is inspired by a workshop layout: the workbench contains the sink and the range; the tool cabinet houses all the utensils, dishware, and food; and the appliance cabinet houses the oven, dishwasher, and refrigerator. When not in use, the tool cabinet and the appliance cabinet can be closed. Via Dezeen.
