| Architects and designers draw inspiration from the things around them to create. Be it different materials, colors, or functions, design is shaped by the surrounding environment and the elements in it. This week we bring you five pieces inspired by geometric shapes, designs that take their cue directly from the basic properties of space. |

| COFFEE TABLE |
| Aldo Bakker, 2015 |

| CB-457 GEOMETRIC DAYBED |
| Craig Bassam & Scott Fellows, 2017 |
| Comprised of a solid wood frame and a steel tubular base, the CB-457 has leather-upholstered tufted cushions for maximum comfort.
