Weird Furniture: Kraft Paper Softseating

Molo's Softseating ($130- $2,390) is made entirely from kraft paper with 50% recycled content. The paper is cut into a honeycomb-like structure that flexes to fan open into stools, benches and loungers. Not only is it flexible, it's versatile and compact; you can compress it like a book for easy storage. It was also recently acquired by the New York MOMA for their permanent collection. I can see the appeal of Softseating in a public space — it's fun, eye-catching, and memorable. But would you want this in your home?

Crave Worthy: The Love Letter Light by Molo

For any modernists out there who can't stand the sight of a pink heart, feast your eyes on The Love Letter Light by Molo ($510). This light is constructed from an electroluminescent film, which provides a surface for you and your honey to write love notes to each other. With a romantically low light, similar to that of a candle, it will cast a romantic glow over your boudoir. The lamps are sturdily supported by a base of wool felt rock, with the luminescent film connected to the base by a steel wire. Pair it with some LivingStones Cushions and you'll have a modern and cool space to express your playful sense of romance.
