Tub chairs are really comfortable for outdoor use, but this funky chair contains an LED light source, so it glows and provides some light as you sit outside when dusk is falling.
What’s more, it changes colour too – going through a series of seven different colour hues. Controllable via a small pocket sized remote control, the chair has a battery life of five hours and can easily be recharged again.
A matching coffee table, with the same abilities, is also available to complete the look. If you just want one piece, then a coffee table that lights up to tell you where to put your glass in the dark sounds perfect.
Both the glow tub chair and the glow coffee table are available from Dwell.

 The Book Porcupine by Holly Palmer
British designer, Holly Palmer, is renowned for coming up with ingenius ideas and her clever Book Porcupine is no exception.
The Book Porcupine offers a novel and rather different way of storing your books. The nifty little shelving unit has a range of 18 different compartments of varying sizes (to accommodate small, medium and large sized books) and the books slot into the spaces.
It’s called the Book Porcupine due to the way the book spines stick out of the shelving unit – like the needles on a porcupine. When books are removed, colours in the compartments are revealed.
The Book Porcupine isn’t cheap, but it is a designer piece. It starts at £950 and is available in white and up to four colours.

 Storyline shelf
Ever wondered what a sound looks like? According to Frederik Roije, it looks a bit like this!
Yes, this rather creative Storyline shelf has been built in a shape based on the graph produced of the frequencies generated when the word ‘bliss’ is spoken.
It all sounds a bit technical, but in simple terms this is a really funkily designed shelf that will look attractive on any wall. We’re big fans of unusual shelves and this one ticks all the right boxes.
The shelf is made out of anodised steel, coated with a dark grey finish and is tough enough to hold books and other items.
The Storyline shelf measures 90 x 20 x 28cm and is available for £145 from the lovely DutchByDesign.
For another unusual shelf idea, don’t miss the unique floating self shelf.

 Conran balance shelving
If you’re in need of some new shelving, then how about this eye-catching balance shelving?
It’s made from solid lipped and veneered European oak (also available in walnut for a slightly higher price) and offers a modern, but practical, design. You can use it against a wall simply for storage, or use it in a larger room to divide the space and use it for objects d’art.
It would look great used like this, for example, in an open plan home, where it could help define certain areas, but not block out light or act as a ‘wall’.
The oak balance shelving is available from the Conran Shop for £725.
