Referencing the tales of Alice in Wonderland, the Phillipe Table is constructed in Walnut with an lacquered exterior finish, topped off with a cool glass top in either transparent or in a mirrored finish.

The dynamic duo are at it again with the launch today of their Cabana (not to be confused with Campana). The Cabana is a cunningly disguised storage unit, and has all the usual craziness one comes to expect from the designer syblings. Underneath the Cousin It - style exterior is a circular shelving unit, with shelves that can be accessed from all sides. Unfortunately the press pack didn't offer any images of the inside - but surely the outside is what it's all about anyway.

Bringing back the quaint - Swedish design company Swedese's new Desirée chair is the perfect piece to brighten up an inner city balcony. Launched at the Milan fair, the chair is a nod to the past.

With press releases pouring in, we are yet to make our way over to young designer Sebastian Jansson's stand in Milan, but this light named Folded Lamp is one reason why we need to get there. His Folded Lamp was inspired by the folds in paper bags, and Jansson applied the same principle when constructing the lamp. The lampshade is hand crafted and made of a thin sheet of steel - we find the structure reminiscent of a spider (in a good way).

Now this seems like design you can make at home - for real. The all clever French design studio 5.5 designers has come up with a clever concept for clip-on lights which utilises regular kitchen products. 'Cuisine d'objets' encourages you to mix cement, pour it into a vase or household item, find a long stick or branch, allow the cement to set and then clip on your light - at this point your cuisine d'objet is complete. Found at the Galleria Luisa Della Piane.

When we arrived at the Tom Dixon presentation this afternoon, it looked a little as though they were still setting up. I was put straight by the man himself however, that the people wearing factory overalls where in fact hard at work putting together light shades as part of a new flat pack initiative launching tomorrow. The shades in bronze steel require a bit of man power to bend into the right shape, but look fantastic once complete. And as usual with Mr Dixon's lighting, they look excellent as a ceiling cluster.  The light shades will go on sale in Milan tomorrow - and at a mere 100 Euro each, I am sure they won't last long.

Set to offer up a more modern alternative to the ever popular Louis Ghost Chair, The Invisibles Chair by Tokujin Yoshika for Kartell has some serious strength in it's subtlety.

New Zealand design hero David Trubridge was once again attracting the crowds with his new lighting presentation in Milan. One of the most genius aspects of David's designs are that they are all flat packed - making for easy international distribution. David and his team bought all of their pieces - including the Wing Light above - in their luggage from New Zealand, making the set up process a relatively easy one.

The Driade preview is always one of the first events to draw the crowds in Milan, and tonight was no exception. Swarms of people jammed themselves into the fresco lined Driade showroom interior to view the new collection. This years stand out piece from designer Fabio Novembré screams (or is it sings) Phantom of the Opera. Bravo.

Judging by the impressive display at the Swarovski Crystal Palace today - we can assume that the dark days are almost over. After a hiatus last year, the crystal giant is back teaming up with some of the industries most innovative designers. The installation today was something almost other worldly, and if there is such a thing as the pearly gates awaiting those of us whom have been good in life - then designer Tokujin Yoshioka has given us a preview with his incredible crystal lighting installation. Installations like these make coming to Milan so worthwhile.
