New York Bedroom Design Ideas
This Satuday, the Cite gallery will open up 400 Years Later: Cite Goes Dutch, a month-long design exhibition. Curated by Alissia Melka-Teichroew and Jan Habraken–both young Dutch designers living in New York–the exhibition focuses on a younger generation. There's a signature Dutch-ness to the work: Functionality that's so extreme that it's campy; a chumminess that springs from design that doesn't take itself too seriously; and, above all, excellent craft. In all, 23 designers and 1 photographer will show their work. Here's a sneak peek of some of the best work (scroll down for information about the show):
Jorre van Ast's Clamp-A-Leg table is disarmingly simple. Hooks screw on to the tops of the legs; these slide over the edge of the table top:

Another clever, simple approach to function by Jorre van Ast: Tops that screw onto jars, making them into a range of useful table ware items and storage pieces:

Susan Verheijen's Form-Matic series of tools looks like a single piece being shrunk down, like a series of Russian nesting dolls. But each piece has a slightly different function. The third smallest is a nutcracker; the second smallest is a bottle opener, and the ring at the far left is a measuring tool–slide it over some spaghetti, and it tells exactly how much is in a single serving:

Jan Habraken's Mirror Mirror provides a detachable hand-held mirror, for looking at yourself up close and checking out your backside:

Habraken's Shovel Birdhouse gives birds a place to rest that also happens to be exactly where they'll have the easiest time rooting out fresh worms: Ground that's freshly shoveled.

Another clever birdhouse, by Studio OOOMS. Solar panels on the roof charge the light out front; it can serve as a night light in the garden, but also as a snack bar for the birds, since the light attracts bugs:

Lotte van Laatum's Tree Cabinet was made from wood felled by a epidemic of elm disease in 1999. Almost ten years later, she memorialized the tree by leaving it's natural shape in the drawer:

Laurens van Wieringen's Softy lamp looks like cast steel, but it's actually covered textured rubber, and it bends to your whim:

Alissia Melka-Teichroew's surprisingly elegant jointed jewelry:

Anthony Duffeleer's giant-sized O Clock has a light touch for such a large piece. It can be rolled to change its orientation in a room:

Frederik Roijé's beautifully minimal candle chandelier:

Lucas Maassen's Yoga Chairs are aptly named. Each piece is both anthropomorphic and abstract, recalling a famous yoga position:

Sander Mulder's About Time clock tells the time by rolling around as the hours pass; in between, it's a bit more vague on the exact minutes, which is meant to encourage a more relaxed pace of life:
