Sjoerd Vroonland of the Netherlands has designed a collection of chairs, including this one with branches sprouting from the back-rest.
Called Revised Craft, Vroonland focuses on the functionality of the furniture and the use of different materials.
The branch chair is an interpretation of how chairs are used in various ways, for example for hanging coats and other items on.
The collection also includes a rocking chair made up of beads, a stool with a seat made of moulded leather, inspired by the bicylce seat, and a lazyboy.
Here’s some more information from the designer:
Revised Craft
For my collection I ask myself the question: is a chair purely functional? Is it a showpiece and a visual story? Or is it an expression of technical know-how and therefore representative of its era?
With this topic I deconstruct 19th and 20th century design classics and translates the craftsmanship of the pieces into new materials to develop new techniques. To generate this I use self-designed construction tools.
These ‘rulers’ are, on one hand, a construction method of the seat, on the other hand a tool to generate a continuous linear form.
As a designer I’m constantly researching on craftsmanship to innovative and integrate new materials and production techniques within the designs. My pedigree shows the total process.
The rocking chair is inspired by the history of the Thonet chair. By subjecting and utilizing the beads from different perspectives the current construction is being modernized in a contemporary way.
Revitalization can only arise when you, as a designer, research and examine craftsmanship as well as design classics and products. My collection starts with a conceptual stage where no concession is made towards comfort but only on visual design and silhouette.
At this stage I chose certain materials which allows total freedom of form. This is followed by a complete and final design where technology are demanding their share.

Design students Min‐Chieh Chen, Dominik Zausinger and Michele Leidi of the ETH Zurich, Switzerland, have sent us some images of a pavilion made of cardboard hoops.
Called Packed, the digitally designed pavilion is made up of 409 cylinders of different diameters and thicknesses, connected together with ties to create a dome-shaped grid of circles.
The students used computer technology to implement the manufacture of the components of the pavilion and also its packing and shipping.
The aim of the project is to show how CAAD (Computer Aided Architectural Design) can be exploited, not only to create designs but also to optimise the entire design processes including production and logistics.
The pavilion was on show as part of the 3D paperArt exhibition at the Shanghai Museum of Arts and Crafts in November 2010, as part of the Shanghai Expo 2010.

Here’s some more information about the project:
Packed a cardboard pavilion by Min‐Chieh Chen, Dominik Zausinger and Michele Leidi with the help of Jeannette Kuo and the supervision of Tom Pawlofsky Shanghai, 2010
Packed is a digitally designed cardboard pavilion that has been exposed at the exhibition 3D paperArt in Shanghai. The exhibition took place at the Shanghai Museum of Arts and Crafts and at the Fudan University in connection with the finishing of the Shanghai world EXPO 2010.
The pavilion is the final group‐project of the Master Advanced Study at the Chair of Computer Aided Architectural Design (MAS CAAD) at the ETH Zurich in Switzerland. The CAAD Chair is specialized in the application of information technologies in the field of architecture and in computer‐controlled fabrication.
The pavilion features a bottom‐up design composed of variable truncated cones, 409 in all, in which these basic constructive elements are filling the entire surface creating a network. The cones negotiate their parameters with each other by adapting their size, form and position. While maintaining their individual diversity and freedom, the elements cooperate together to achieve common goals such as overall stability, shape, illumination, views and spatial quality.
The cones were manufactured using corrugated cardboard in 28 layers, each of which was cut, glued and labelled with a computer‐controlled machine. For all steps, from design, production, logistics and packing in Zurich to shipping and assembly in Shanghai, the process was implemented and optimized by means of self‐made computer programs. By intelligently nesting and packing the cones the amount of material used, the production time and the shipping volume were significantly reduced.
The experiment is intended to demonstrate how architects can use CAAD to customize a design process. It was possible on one side to overcome logistical and fabrication constraints with integrated solutions, and on the other side to exploit the potential of digital design on the aesthetical level.

Uno dei progetti della cara vecchia Italia che ho trovato più interessanti in questi due anni di intervallo è stato il pilone elettrico disegnato dal francese Hugh Dutton per Terna, la società che gestisce la trasmissione di energia nel nostro paese. Dutton ha vinto un concorso internazionale mettendosi alle spalle ottimi studi come Frigerio e Giugiaro: i tre finalisti sono mostrati in una video-presentazione molto cool.
La proposta vincitrice costituisce un bel salto in avanti rispetto alle strutture che ancora ingombrano il paesaggio di tante campagne e periferie. La prima caratteristica che salta all’occhio è l’assenza di travi reticolari, ben radicate nell’immaginario collettivo per un oggetto così industriale, ed usate anche in altre proposte concorrenti. Visto da lontano il nuovo pilone diventa invece tanto semplice da sembrare il disegno di un bambino. La grande “Y” portante è infatti ispirata ad un albero, e riesce a mettere in secondo piano la struttura più leggera che sorregge ai fianchi i cavi elettrici.
Ci sono poi altre finezze progettuali: il pilone ha una sezione triangolare per fare in modo che da qualsiasi punto di vista una sola faccia sia visibile, evitando contrasti ombra/luce e massimizzando la luminosità dell’oggetto architettonico bianco. La struttura consente inoltre all’oggetto di inclinarsi non poco, a seconda della spinta del vento e della tipologia del suolo.
L’idea di partenza è stata proprio cercare una soluzione che, nonostante la spinta intrusiva dell’oggetto, fosse in armonia con la natura e le sue forze. Quando un intento apprezzabile come questo si coniuga con la tecnologia più avanzata ed un segno così elegante, allora si merita la lode!

Industrial design students Emma Nilsson, Johanna Westin and Lisa Frode of Lund University, Sweden, have created a wooden bench with storage units as part of their Masters project.
Called Kitchen Sofa, wooden slats forming the seats can be lifted to reveal storage underneath.
Newspapers and books can be stored behind the back-rest and a drawer at the bottom of the seat provides more space.
The bench is made of locally sourced Swedish pine and will be on show at the Stockholm Furniture Fair in Februray 2011.
The following information is from the designers:
På sofflocket – a modern take on the traditional kitchen sofa, A design project by Emma Nilsson, Johanna Westin and Lisa Frode, Students at the Master Programme in Industrial Design, Lund University
The old and traditional kitchen sofa is usually the favourite place in the house. That’s where everything happens, from homework and naps to coffee and newspaper on a sunday morning.
This new edition offers the same functions as the traditional one but adapted to the modern way of living. The storage space is divided into two parts making it easy to reach and organize the content. With the open plan living area commonly occurring in today’s homes the back provides storage for books and/or newspapers.
The material used is locally produced swedish pine with small elm details. Pine is frequently occurring in the woods in the nordic regions and by using swedish wood the Co2 emissions are lower than if using imported wood. By using both traditional and new techniques we have created our own modified version of the traditional kitchen sofa.
The sofa will be exhibited at the stockholm furniture fair in february.
