Tree Inspired Seating

Les designers Busk+Hertzog créent Runway pour la compagnie Hightower : un siège aux branches amovibles qui permettent d’en changer le design. Le détail des coutures et les angles en biais sont la marque des deux danois. Une façon originale de revisiter la banquette. Plus d’images dans la suite de l’article.

Squiggly Seating

The shape of the Sissi chair pictured here is just one of a number of ways it can be reshaped to your heart’s content! The continuous design is composed of stress-resistant polyurethane foam on a metal frame that forms the seat and leg as well as a flexible arm that can be used as a backrest or working surface depending on how you sit! With lots of vibrant color options, it’ll add an abstract pop to any space.

The Gumby of Chairs

The first in a collection of “editable” furnishings, the Aleaf chaise lounge might first appear rigid with its sinuous, continuous form, but it’s mysteriously flexible! An internal framework of bendable supports make it possible to shape to the user’s liking. Use the arm as workstation or a custom-bend it for your relaxation!

For the Modern Gentleman

The SINsa series is the result of designer Dongsung Jung’s exploration into the masculine side of furniture design. The combination of two-toned walnut and bold construction give the stool, table and chair a refined, timeless aesthetic. Perfect for the classic cigar lounge or modern man cave!

A Chair We’d Like to Nom Nom

As you might guess by the name, the Candy Chair was inspired by designer Jeong Yong’s insatiable sweet tooth! Shapes taken from his sugary favorites give it a soft, inviting aesthetic. It’s probably a good thing it’s not actually edible… because it looks deliciously lemon in bright yellow.

Designer: Jeong Yong

A Guitarist Must Have

The PIK stool combines the joy of playing music with the elegance and comfort of modern furniture design. Targeted specifically at acoustic guitar players, the aim was to design a guitar amp that captures the essence of acoustic playing environments. Aesthetically, the stool allows viewers of the performance to focus solely on the musician without being distracted by other clutter on stage! Check out the vid for the full experience!

Antler Illusion

Antlers are an iconic symbol that’ve been around since the age of the caveman & they aren’t going out of style anytime soon! Whether it’s a cardboard mount for the house or a wearable Alexander McQueen headpiece, we love a clever twist on the familiar fragment. Just like the Antler chair! From a side view, the outline of a stag’s rack is clearly visible, but from any other angle it looks like your average chair. From the woodsy cabin to the modern loft, its subtle aesthetic compliments a variety of interior styles.

The Roly-poly Pod

Designed specifically for use in airports, the Slater lounge applies the best of biomimicry to create a personal, relaxing and private sanctuary while you wait for your flight! Inspired by the slater bug (more widely known as the roly-poly), each lounge has wireless internet access, power sockets, a luggage lock, and even an alarm clock so you don’t miss your flight. Forget about the airport, I want it to keep my annoying coworkers out!

Repurposing done right!

One of the most abundant and yet easily forgotten objects, the shipping pallet can be found in all corners of the world… many of which are neglected, or disposed of after use. The Re-Stacked Lounger breathes new life into old pallets, repurposing them into a lightweight mobileseating structure. Though unrecognizable from its original form, each lounge maintains the character and patina of the material for a naturally aged aesthetic!

Multiple angles in the Re-Stacked Lounger that act to visually lighten the piece. These angled edges create a lounger that is more comfortable, with easy transition between standing and seating. The back two edges have been left square and unchanged to show the stacking structure clearly.  

Rough parts are finished smooth where users sit. This contrasts with the interior of the piece, which is still in its rough and original state and highly visible due to the stacking of the pallets, which are inherently porous.

To ensure that the lounger is inviting and looks comfortable, a soft surface has been developed and created in conjunction with the seat itself. Woollen fleece cuts along with the process of dry needle felting create a knitted blanket as a form of cushioning. The colors of the knit were created through the process of natural dye, sourcing colours from local waste streams, such as left over onion skins from local restaurants and rusty nails kept from the palettes. This woollen covering is completely detachable so that it can be easily washed and taken off if necessary, and is held in place though old bike inner tubes which have been tightened and fixed to the pallet.

Designers: John van Huenen, Andrew Wilkie, Stephanie Ward, Ursula Davy, & Hannah Hutchinson

Carbon Creature Stool

The Red Dot Award winning Plum Stool’s swift, aerodynamic form emulates natural, organic style in modern carbon material. Though delicate looking, the logical structural geometry and material quality together make it not only strong but incredibly light. To highlight this, the design’s name is a derivative of the Spanish word “pluma” which means “feather.”

Designer: Alvaro Uribe
