Courtesy of Kate Spade All your polka-dotted, brass-accessorized, and vibrantly colored dreams are about to come true: Kate Spade just launched a home furniture line for Spring 2016. If your first thought is "Finally!" we're right there with you. But we're also here to tell you it was worth the wait: The iconic lifestyle brand's new line features 60 pieces including furniture, lighting, rugs, and fabric that are traditional but with modern influences.  The line was unveiled this past Saturday at High Point Market (a major industry trade show in North Carolina) and has all the mix-and-match pattern play we've come to love from this cheeky brand over the years. We're especially digging the gorgeous inspirational rooms the team put together to showcase their pieces, which totally makes us want to snatch up, oh you know, just about everything.  For starters, we could totally picture this neutr...

IKEA We already have Ikea's iconic LACK table all over our homes, but the side table still holds a few secrets that might shock even the superstore's biggest enthusiasts. The $$ coffee table stands fairly sturdy, so no one would guess that it's actually made of mostly PAPER.  That's right  — your go-to play table, nightstand, and footstool is nothing more than intricately-folded cardboard covered with particle board, as this National Geographic video reveals. While the wallet-friendly price tag might be an indicator of inferior quality, there's a reason that this lightweight piece has stuck around so long. As one factory employee demonstrates, the honeycomb paper is surprisingly strong — one sheet can even support his 100-kilo (or 220-pound) frame.  Call it an engineering marvel, but it's just another reason to love Ikea. Plus, the white and black versions are now just a mere $ on t...

Behance/Shivani Gulati Just as the weather's getting warmer, meet the best piece of outdoor furniture ever made: the hammock-rocking chair.  Behance/Shivani Gulati three design students in just two weeks (!) for a school project, it's the ultimate relaxing spot you never knew you needed. Instead of the traditional side-to-side swing of a hammock, the woven sling moves back-and-forth. The resulting hybrid combines the best of both worlds — and puts your favorite armchair to shame.  Behance/Shivani Gulati Harshita Murudkar, Shivani Gulati and Mehak Phili, all students of MIT Institute of Design in India, dreamt up and built the now-viral prototype. They used three different types of weaves and a steel frame to create the portable cozy nook, and it looks like they had a lot of fun doing it. Fingers crossed they all get A's — or better yet, a job offer from IKEA.  [ h/t Apartment Therapy By Caroline Picard

Getty + IKEA If you own IKEA's LOCK or HYBY ceiling lamps , watch your head — literally. The company has recalled both of these designs after reports that the glass shades have been falling from the ceiling, resulting in 224 incidents, 11 injuries, and one person who reportedly needed stitches after a particularly unfortunate accident. In a statement on their website the company explained the situation: "IKEA takes product safety very seriously. All our products are tested to and comply with applicable testing standards and legislation. In spite of this we have received reports that LOCK and HYBY ceiling lamps have fallen." Therefore, the Swedish retailer will provide full refunds to anyone who owns either of these products — no proof of purchase required (whew).  But why exactly are these shades falling? After further investigation, the Consumer Product Safety Commission says the problem is with the plastic retaining clip...

Blandito It's a total game-changer for your Netflix binges: Meet the foldable couch called the Blandito. Made by the Italian company Oradaria Design, this "transformable pad for lazy living" tucks into different shapes perfect for reading, snuggling, or napping. And by the looks of it, it would be pretty hard to leave.  Blandito Blandito The designers envisioned the prototype (made from a garden hose and fabric!) as a sofa without arms, legs, or a back. And while the limited production run sold out quickly, more taco-shaped chairs will hopefully be coming soon.  In the meantime, start planning your epic pillow forts (and Sunday afternoon naps).  [ h/t Mental Floss By Caroline Picard
