When we think of baby products we don’t normally think of four guys sitting around discussing ways to make them better, but we have been proven wrong. Bloom was created by four dads who wanted to bring contemporary design to baby products. Their designs, including bouncers, tables and highchairs have had great success around the world, plus the company isn’t just four dads anymore, they’ve expanded, and there are now a total of 50+ staff.

Thanks to Jasper Klinkhamer from Studio Klink for sending us photos of the Peet House (aka: the Rabbit House) in Lelystad, The Netherlands. Construction has just been completed on the house, which is the first built project from Studio Klink.
Apparently the minimalist house is very attractive to rabbits. When photographer Lars van den Brink showed up to take photos, it was completely overrun by the furry critters.

With a diameter of 6 feet (185cm), the Ociu light from Zava certainly makes a statement. Apparently, the word “ociu” means “pay attention,” as if you could ignore something this big. The light is made of methacrylate, commonly known as Plexiglas or acrylic, and besides white, it’s also available in black with a gold or silver leaf interior.

We’ve posted about this pavillion before, but today we noticed this great photo from canonsnapper on Flickr that actually shows people using it. The designers (Alan Dempsey and Alvin Huang) must be proud to see people enjoying their creation.
