This cool modular sofa furniture is proving that it’s hip to be square… or cube. The People sofa by Italian furniture company Primafila puts symmetry on a pedestal. The clean lines and simple, geometric design makes this modern sofa ideal for contemporary-style homes. And adding functionality into the mix, the modular design means you can go as big, as small or as oddly shaped as you need to, making this furniture set a perfect fit for compact homes. Assemble the sofa as you please. Made of four- and six-cube configurations, these two parts are your building blocks for an endless array of seating selections. If you’re not sold on shape, you will be by color. This modular sofa is available in a range of hot hues to suit your style. Check out this chic sofa collection at Primafila.

Giving other beds a run for their money, this super-functional bed by Primafila doubles as a storage space.

This chic bed is covered in cream leather with a tall, tufted headboard that looks like pure luxury. The mattress lifts up to reveal a plethora of storage space underneath, so your seasonal clothes like bulky jackets, boots and sweaters, blankets, towels, linens and occasional items all have a home – out of sight and out of mind. All you see is a tidy and tidy bedroom with a big, beautiful bed as the centerpiece. Have some sweet dreams of your own with this awesome, multi-functional and ever-fashionable bed by Primafila.

If you can’t decide between the convenience of a shower and the luxury of a bath, you can have your cake and eat it too with this cool new convertible shower by Rexa. The Italian bathroom company created this all-in-one bath-shower design to satisfy both ends of the bathing spectrum, making it an ideal addition to small bathrooms that previously had to sacrifice one for the other, and for those who share a space with their bathing opposite. Going from shower to bathtub is as easy as removing the detachable shower floor slats – which look great, by the way.

Here’s a cool new tile that’s sure to turn you on! This illuminating tile mosaic is by Lucedentro, an innovative Italian company that specializes in photoluminescence to literally shed some light on new and inventive design. “Photoluminescence” is the ability to naturally absorb solar or electric light, and when the lights go out the photoluminescent materials – in this case, the tiles – glow in range of cool colors. Photoluminescence can be incorporated into the production of various materials like glass, ceramic, plastic and wax, so your home can literally shine, even in the dark.

Make your yard the envy of the block with these modern outdoor lamps by Vibia. The Wind lamp line features light and airy shades, woven to diffuse the light without blocking it out. Floor- and pendant-lamp designs boast the same style, but differ in their various take on the conical-shape shades. The pendant lamps are long and lean, perfect for an outdoor bar or the barbecue and dining areas, while the floor lamp shades are broader, sitting atop a one- or a three-legged base with a table built in. And adding a little fun into the mix – an absolute must for your al fresco soirees – the Wind modern lamps come in a range of funky colors that grab your attention and illuminate the night in shades of orange, green, black and white. Mix and match, or coordinate all your lighting for a uniform, simple look. For more information, visit Vibia.
