Hasta La Ideas

Stockholm 2013: Berlin designers Osko+Deichmann exhibited the latest development in their line of kinked tubular steel chairs at Stockholm Furniture Fair.

The Superkink armchairs and sofas were produced using the same folding technique as Osko+Deichmann‘s previous sharply bent chairs such as Kink and the colourful Straw chairs, but uses larger 35 millimetre tubing.

Fabric wraps around the arms whilst an upholstered padded back and seat are propped up by the angular frame.

Other products by Swedish brand Blå Station on Dezeen include a wooden chair with leg warmers and a chair made from a single sheet of felt.

Stockholm Furniture Fair took place from 5 to 9 February and other products launched there were a chair that looks like it’s wearing a cape by Nendo, frosted glassware by Front and pendant lamps by Claesson Koivisto Rune.

Ok, that makes no sense but I like the ring to it! Anyways, here are two very cool and complimenting projects by our man Kévin Depape. One is the Mamba Lamp and the other is the Elastik Desk. While the Mamba plays on the on the archetype of a lamp by questioning its components; the Elastik revisits the traditional home desks while being inspired by the old classroom desks with storage on top.

Mamba is a lamp where the wire, which is often hidden or little, is highlighted on the lamp. The Elastik is a desk that allows you to store books, papers, folders and to route the cables through the storage slots.

Literally… Granny’s got mad steez in this sexy modern rocker! Characterized by it’s oversized curvilinear form, each part is hand-shaped and seamlessly bound to create a robust, sinuous aesthetic. To soften things up, the design features a blanket adapted to cover the back and seat for cushioning and specialized side flaps that wrap over the user’s lap for comfort and warmth.

Product news: designer Werner Aisslinger of Berlin and Singapore has created a storage system for German brand Flötotto that’s held together by plastic clips.

The ADD System comprises timber batons joined with plastic connectors hidden on the inside of the frame. Side, front and back panels can then be simply clipped to the plastic components with metal fastenings.

“ADD literally contains a ‘hidden hero’ since the highly complex joint is integrated into the load-bearing wooden elements in such a way that it remains invisible from the outside,” says Aisslinger. “This gives the system an elegant, domestic look.”

Intended for the contract or domestic market, the system can be used to make open and closed shelving units, sideboards and chests of drawers.

The frame is made of bleached oak and the MDF panels come painted in a range of eight colours plus lighter and darker versions.

The product was launched at imm cologne in January, where other products on show included a chair inspired by spaghetti for Ligne Roset and a folding armchair for One Nordic. See all our stories about product launches in Cologne.

Last year Flötotto showed a plastic school chair by Konstantin Grcic, which has been updated this time around with an outdoor version.

Other projects by Werner Aisslinger on Dezeen include a budget hotel designed to feel like staying at a friend’s house, a chair grown inside a greenhouse and a swinging sofa. He’s also the designer behind the Iconograph watch, available from Dezeen Watch Store.

Other storage solutions on Dezeen include a bookcase with a dining table and chairs hidden between the shelves and a mirror and shelf hung either end of a leather strap. See all our stories about storage.
