I’m not talking about seasonal Christmas decor here, I’m talking about year round pieces of modern designer furniture that will add a little Winter Wonderland to any room in the house. From area rugs to bookshelves and chairs to tiles, here’s a round up of cool Snowflake-Inspired Modern Home Furnishings.
Snowflake-Inspired Modern Home Furnishings
The Zelli Bookcase by Younes Design:
Zelli is a handmade bookcase that reinvents, in three dimensions, the geometrical pattern of traditional Moroccan mosaic work which resembles a geometric snowflake. Easy to move around (and dismount), the interlocked, nail and screw-free pieces easily assembled in 10 minutes time.
Made of Simopor material, the bookcase is both robust and easy to maintain. A simple damp cloth will clean your Zelli.

The Minizelli wall-mounted bookcase by Younes Design:
The Minizelli bookcase, like her big sister Zelli, embodies the shape inspired by the Zellige, traditional moroccan mosaics work. As fun as the previous version, this small wall bookcase has eight identical units automatically assembled to but up against each other, interlocking, without nails or screws. Different combinations or readjustments are easily made.
100 diam x 1.25 cm, made in black or white Simopor.

Snowflake tables for OFFECCT:
The Snowflake tables designed by Claesson Koivisto Rune for OFFECCT are made of DuPont Corian® using advanced computer software. Each table is unique. The aim with the Snowflakes table is to achieve the same variation as that found in real snowflakes. A computer programmer developed software that is connected to a milling machine. The machine cuts out the table top precisely according to the instructions of the design team. In this way, the table is machine made but no two tables are alike because the milling program is changed every time within certain preset parameters. For instance, the table always has six points and the same diameter. Snowflakes is a small, useful table which can be combined by using several by a sofa or just one by the bed. The table is available in three different heights in order to increase the possible variations and usage.
