Architect: Herron Horton Architects, Location: Little Rock, Arkansas

A KnollStudio classic, Jens Risom's Amoeba Table is at once amorphous and crisply defined. The silhouette is certainly one of the defining styles of mid-century design.

This KnollStudio Classic was one of the first designs commissioned by Knoll. The knoll kids versions of these classic chairs are durable and kid-friendly with sunny colors in the woven webbed seating and an easy-to-clean lacquered wooden surface. The nylon/cotton strapping is even water repellent.

Architect: Neuman Hayner, Location: Hadera, Israel

From the architect: "Every centimeter is used efficiently. Multifunctional pieces can be found throughout the home—such as a staircase that contains a bookcase that doubles as a balustrade."

4. Dallas Apartment

Tom Kundig designed custom pieces of furniture to define each space throughout the apartment—such as these bespoke bunk beds in the children's room that are both playful and creative.

Architect: VORBILD Architecture, Location: London, England

From the architect: "The brief called for a complement refurbishment—including the external facade, the garden, and an increase of the living space. This has been maximized by adding an extension on the side, plus, at the top level, a new staircase was built and the loft converted."
