Hasta La Ideas

Part functional public seating solution, part kinetic sculpture, the Bend Bench was designed around a unique frame that makes it possible to rotate both vertically and horizontally. It can spin like a merry-go-round to face any direction for different views. Once in position, one side can be flipped vertically to provide shade or cover from the rain over the other. Simply flip it back down to double the space for others to sit. One of the most versatile bench designs we’ve seen!

Hands up all those who have experienced clogged toilet bowls! Armed with a plunger I too have had to unclog the toilet and I know it’s a stinky job. This is why I really appreciate this PUSHit Toilet Seat Design! The seat itself acts like plunger and helps unclog the bowl. Totally Awesome!

PUSHit Toilet Seat Design is a 2012 iF Design Talents Entry.

The Strucchair approaches modern seating design from a different angle; it aims to fit into irregular, ever-changing environments rather than traditional settings. The unique adaptive structure consists of several kinetic units held together by rubber hinges. Together they form two quadrilateral prisms that move independently to create a balanced and comfortable surface no matter how irregular the terrain might be. Confused much!? Don’t worry… there’s a vid to explain it all! Hit the jump to watch!

The Levity chaise-lounge is composed of 12mm thick birch plywood and 12mm thick birch rods that together create abstract geometries that suggest levitation of a reclined person. The slender structure looks as if it might not support the weight of an individual, but the simple construction is lightweight and surprisingly sturdy with 20 supporting legs held firmly in place.

This coat rack/bench combination, called “A Tree in the Meadow,” consists of 20×20 thick maple slats situated in 18mm thick birch plywood, creating a visually stunning matrix that resembles the striking vision of a lone tree in a hayfield. The design skews our perception of storage and formal structural stability- umbrellas, newspaper, slippers and other small items can be stored among the slats while coats and bags can be placed on the extended slats that form the coat rack.
