Furniture designer Vito Selma is a master of geometry and wood, conception and craft. Selma creates a range of wooden furniture that appear to be visually complex, but are based on simple geometric patterns. The table above, titled Geo, features an interwoven three-dimensional grid with cross bars connecting one point to the next. While it might be simple in theory, the execution and result are stunningly complex.
Vito Selma works out of his one-man shop in Cebu, Philippines, having accomplished much at his young age. Selma’s work has been commissioned by the princess of his home country as well as Saudi Royalty and the famed South African president and activist, Nelson Mandela. With his best years ahead of him, his body of work is already remarkable.

KAWS teamed up with The Standard for a collaborative project aimed at spicing up the interior lighting of the contemporary art collector’s home. As KAWS describes, “I love The Standard and the different projects they have been doing. When invited to create something I wanted to redesign something basic that could be found in every hotel room in the world so we decided to make a light bulb. I like the low colored glow it gives, similar to a candle”. This unique set is limited to 1,000, including one purple, one red, and one green low-glow bulb each measuring about 4.75″ x 2.25″ and retails for $65. Functional art at it’s finest.
