 Nifty magazine stool This doesn’t look much, but it’s a really clever idea! If you’ve got loads of magazines hogging the magazine rack, rather than recycling them or giving them away (or, shock, horror, throwing them out), now you can make them into your own usable piece of furniture.
ENO have made a strong black nylon strap which you can wrap around a pile of magazines, tighten and make into a stool to sit on. If you were to simply pile up a stack of magazines, sitting on them would inevitably involve one or more sliding and coming adrift, so the nylon strap solves those issues.
The book stool strap is also available in red and you can buy them from Made in Design.

 Sink down into a chaise longue We love classic pieces of furniture that have been given a contemporary twist, so couldn’t help but like this gorgeous chaise longue when we spotted it at Mooch.
The elegantly shaped chaise longue (or ‘long chair’) is given a stylish and up-to-date feel by the colourful, stripy Designers Guild chenile fabric and the lime upholstering. The piece is finished off with beech feet and the matching cushions are available to purchase separately.
It looks great, but would also be a comfortable piece of furniture on which to relax, unwind, and put your feet up, after a busy day.
The stripy chaise longue is available from Mooch.

Bring your favourite comic heroes into your home, in the form of these unusual comic decoupage chairs.
Handmade from reclaimed vintage 1950s chairs, the chairs have been re-designed and given a completely new look, with the help of comic decoupage.
If you’ve got a favourite comic, then you can pick which one you’d like adorning the chair - the blue one above, for example, features Superman. You also get to choose the colour of the seat pad.
If comics aren’t your cup of tea, there’s also the option to have a chair covered in the pages of a favourite magazine, map or even a newspaper.
These unique chairs are created by Bombus and are available to order through Not On The High Street.

 Statement cushion Osborne & Little are well known for their wallpaper and fabric design and have created this Prima Donna cushion for part of Heal’s ReDiscovers range.
Using traditional floral designs, the cushion is given a modern feel with its black and fluorescent pink roses and silver background. If you like the design and fancy more than just the cushion, there are a whole load of other matching items available, including a lampshade, rug, armchair and drum pouffe.
Personally, we feel that one or two pieces is enough to make a statement, as too much can be a bit overpowering, but each to their own.
The cushion is available from Heal’s, who are celebrating their 200th year anniversary in 2010, so look out for special offers in store and online throughout the year.

This cardboard, flatpack chair may look fairly unassuming when you first see it, but it’s actually a very clever idea and a great design.
Called the Belkiz Feedaway chair, it was created by Australian designer Betul Madakbas and can offer portable and temporary seating for children.
It’s by no means meant to replace traditional high chairs, but would be really useful for anyone who’s having children to stay and needs a high chair temporarily (there’s only so much baby equipment people can bring with them on a short trip).
The eco-friendly chair is made from recycled cardboard and is suitable for use with toddlers up to 20 months old, or 20kg/44lbs. Estimates suggest the chair should last for about 30 times before it’s no longer safe. It’s compact to store and easy to put together and available in various different colourways.
You can currently buy the Belkiz Feedaway chair from Styled Baby for AUD $39.95. Keep an eye out on the Belkiz website for details of more stockists as they become available.
