A fine line (literally!) between work and play
No room in the home for your own office space? This Work and Play combo by Gruber and Schlager, pictured below, may just have the answer. I just love the idea of this! When your work is done, simply pivot the ‘wall’ 180 degrees so that the office is facing away from you and you can relax in front of the television. Simple!
Great spaces…
I was literally blown away by these houses on Architectural’s Digest 100 Great Spaces feature. Minimalistic, yet still warm and homely, they are just stunning. Having grown up in Greece, I am a sucker for blue skies and the sea, so I can just imagine myself living happily ever after in the Norman Foster house! Click here for even more inspiration…

You will probably have noticed that our blog entries have become much more frequent recently, so I thought I’d let everyone know that this is thanks to our lovely new recruit Emily (and not myself unfortunately)!
Originally from up North, she moved to London just a few months ago, and after a small stint at Coco Ribbon, has joined us here at Coco Målé, so we’re now sharing custody of this blog! Hope you enjoy her posts…

Small living spaces can really benefit from space-saving furniture. From a bathroom sink integrated into the toilet cistern, to a framed picture which doubles as a chair, I came across some pretty impractical designs! With a bit of research and careful planning, there is no need to sacrifice style for furniture you don’t really love simply because it fits in your place. Look for pieces which are multifunctional, for example a sofa which doubles as a bed or a bed with underneath storage space. Make the most of what you have!
The ‘Puzzle’ seat, below, by Lucyau can be altered to provide three different looks and also folds out in to a bed! I love the modern simplicity- this piece wouldn’t look out of place in any home!

Can you believe that an entire apartment’s worth of furniture is inside this small box, below? Inside is an armoire, a desk, a height-adjustable stool, two more stools, a six-shelf bookcase, and a bed with mattress. Quite why or when you would need such an item, I’m not too sure. By Casulo.
