Sometimes, you might feel like something is missing from your home's decor. And often, what you need is a little touch of novelty. The last few weeks have been full of news from some of our favorite design firms, from new living room furniture to elegant shelves or sophisticated table accessories. One of these new designs might be just what you're looking for.

The Container furniture by E-ggs for Miniforms

With a vibrant and dynamic soul, the Venetian brand Miniforms is known for its fun pieces and bold designs. But, although they are risky and colorful, the firm's furniture does not compromise elegance or functionality. And, of course, the latest Miniforms launch encapsulates the different hallmarks of the Italian design house, combining aesthetics and function in a fresh and attractive design.

With a low profile and available in three different lengths, the Container furniture from Miniforms will add interest to any living room while offering valuable storage space. This piece is the perfect addition for the most minimalist and organized homes — but also for those who want to display their collections of candles, plants or vases.

The fluted front of this low credenza fits perfectly in all the available finishes, from natural woods to colorful lacquers. Different finishes can also be combined with a stone, wood or even terrazzo surface and other types of legs. In short, it is a 100% customizable piece of furniture.

Table art designs of Mario Luca Giusti

At the beginning of September, Maison&Objet, one of the most relevant design fairs in the industry, took place in Paris. On this international stage, the Florentine glassmaker Mario Luca Giusti presented new colors and collections for the table: Frost, Fisheye and Lillybet.

At Frost, the surface of the glass is treated to achieve a smooth, translucent finish, as if each piece were fresh from a freezer. Fisheye (a pre-existing glassware collection from the firm) is renewed in new pastel tones. Finally, Mario Luca Giusti incorporates the Lillybet collection with a collection of colorful plates perfect for the festive period.

Pentagramma, Pitsou Kedem's shelves for MDF Italy

Israeli designer Pitsou Kedem is responsible for mdf italia's latest creation. The Italian furniture firm - celebrated for its quality and exceptional finishes - created a set of modular shelves inspired by a melody. The shelves are comprised of panels placed horizontally on a wall, resembling notes on a music sheet.

Although the shelf system is simple and easily customizable, the result is spectacular. Elegant panels finished in oak or walnut, backlit with backlit shelves in white, black or matte gray. Since the design is modular, it can adapt to any interior, offering an impeccable finish. Thus, Pentagramma is the perfect addition for the most sophisticated homes. The piece is undoubtedly a paradigm of luxury and Italian elegance.

The VUELTA modular sofa by Jaime Hayon for WITTMANN

Curved lines are one of the current trends in interior design. Organic silhouettes perfectly reflect how we seek to use our homes today: comfortable, fluid and versatile spaces that respond to our ever-changing needs. And for this reason, modular designs are among the most popular bets.

The Spanish designer Jaime Hayton is the mind behind VUELTA, one of the most recognizable sofa lines from the Austrian brand Wittmann. This slick and modern sofa with curved shapes is now available in a modular format. Thus, the enveloping silhouette of this design becomes extensible so that it can adapt to any interior with complete freedom.

From an L-shape silhouette to an enveloping U design, this classic sofa with chaise-longue or a serpentine shape is the perfect choice for lovers of this brand.

Calypso: the porcelain panels of De Marchi Verona

No detail should be overlooked when decorating your home, especially the finishes of bathrooms, kitchens or terraces. De Marchi Verona offers a series of spectacular porcelain surfaces, full of texture and volume, finished with stunning matte or metallic colors.

The very name of the collection designed by Giacomo Totti —Calypso, the ancient goddess of the sea— evokes the marine inspiration of the designs, which show an undulating surface as if they were the waves of the sea. However, the finish is highly abstract and minimalist, perfect for modern interiors.

Calypso can be the perfect way to bring a fresh tone to a room by using the wall panels as a decorative accent. But it also offers a highly durable finish, resistant to changes in temperature or inclement weather. It is easy to clean and can be the perfect finish for a kitchen backsplash or even an exterior wall.
