Cool Designs For Outstanding Home Interiors Full Of Flair

The term “cool” is quite vague but we use it pretty often and always referring to something different. A cool design is one that stands out from the rest, that impresses and makes us wish we had it for ourselves. Cool designs in the world of interior and furniture design are not necessarily the most opulent and complex of all. They can just as easily impress with their simplicity. Each of the following creations is unique, different and cool in its own way. It’s up to you to figure whether or not you’d want something similar for your own home.

The unusual thing about the CT-01 coffee table designed by Richard Sinnig is the top which has three elements embedded in it: a wooden bowl, a porcelain vessel and a vase. These are integrated into the table, giving it the odd and cool look that makes it stand out. The table is made of powder-coated metal and has a slightly recessed and spacious compartment that provides storage for things like books, remote controls and other items.

Delmori unique wall clock design

Wall clocks are no longer the popular, must-have accessory everyone had in their homes.

The shape of silence

As much as you enjoy everyone around you, sometimes you just need to be alone with your thought and to escape all the noise. For cases like that, Framery came up with the idea of a soundproof booth. They are the leading company in manufacturing and developing soundproof private spaces. They create booths for one or two persons which offer the user the option of comfortably sitting on a bar stool, placing their laptop on a small table and enjoying the silence.

Small moving kitchen

Cool designs come from crazy ideas. So picture this: a mobile kitchen with wings. Actually the design is not as crazy as it sounds.
