We sit on it during the day, sleep on it at night, eat off it and even look at our reflection in it - but how much thought do we really give our functional and space-saving furniture and the rooms we have full of it? Some designers have gone to great lengths to get us to view even the most mundane pieces of furniture in a new and different light. From creative transformable, collapsible and comfortable designs to incredible flat-pack, funky and futuristic ones here are one hundred and forty-two furniture innovations that will at least turn heads.

20 Uncomfortably Cool Contemporary Chair Designs
We drag them around the room, sit on them on and off throughout ever day, but rarely see them as more than utilitarian seats.

16 Marvelous Modern Table Designs
They sit at the center of rooms and are the focal points of meals and other gatherings but all too often they are simple rectangles.

24 Crazy Contemporary Clock Designs
We all know time is relative, but what about the design of things that keep our time? There is nothing set in stone that says we have to count every hour, second and minute on the face of every time piece. Some of these tell time in partial or otherwise unusual ways. From clocks that give colloquial approximations in place of units to ones you almost can’t tell time from at all here is a clock example for every hour of the day.

These sixteen are no exception. Click Here for more Mesmerizing Modern Mirrors
15 Spectacular Home Storage Solutions
Just because we use them for storage does not mean that shelves, drawers and dressers can’t be as interesting as anything else we have inside our homes.
