Tilt by German designer Tina Schmid is a morphing object, moving from a flat graphic on the wall to a three-dimensional object. With a simple movement, the image of the cube can be folded downward into a table, the cuboid as a valet on which garments can be hung. Both objects boast an ingenious system of rods with jointed nodes that can be rotated as needed.

"At Subports we're on a daily mission to simplify who and what we are; it can be a struggle, and it's all in an effort to get to the heart of what our core message is.  The act of stripping away and getting to that core message is one that every great artist has perfected.  In our opinion, someone who has achieved this art of simplification is Colgate Searle.  Anyone who can turn a mundane wire coat hanger into a work of art gets our highest respect."  Photo by JJ Sulin.

Tomas Haeger and Tina Linde’s desire for simple weekend and  summer living led STEG Arkitekter to design a multi-volume retreat for the couple on the island of Tjörn. Clad in locally sourced fir, the house perches on pillars directly atop boulders that mark the steep site. “The idea was a place for contemplation and recharging our batteries,” says Tomas.

8. Krummi hanger by Ingibjörg Hanna Bjarnadottir. "The Krummi is by Icelandic designer Ingibjörg Hanna Bjarnadottir. We have a couple of these in our bedroom, they're great for hanging up a sweater or displaying your newest piece of clothing, but they also look sculptural with nothing on them. In Iceland you can find these hanging in windows to keep birds from flying into them."

Hemlis hangers for Ikea. "I designed these hangers for Ikea, which are probably my best-selling design. I wanted to do really good hangers that are good for the clothes and don't take up more space than needed. Recently, I was quite surprised to see an art piece at PS1 at the MOMA where an artist [Jacob Dahlgren] used my coat hangers to make a sculpture."—Anna von Schewen

The curved roof, a play off the hull of a ship, was inspired by a previous Atelier SAD home project in the Czech town of Liberec. Jerry Koza, along with engineer Tomas Kalhous and architect Adam Jirkal, spent years finding the right location and obtaining permissions. After the rigid approval process, they’re finally able to showcase the flexibility of the concept, which can range from a one-person dwelling to a family-sized float with a 1,076-square-foot floor plan and a 538-square-foot terrace.
