Hasta La Ideas

The K-I-T or Keep-It-Together Chair is a thoughtful DIY design that’s as comfortable as it is easy to put together. Composed primarily of MDF panels, the shell is held together by velcro strips, giving the chair some flexibility and wiggle room. Optimized for reading, the shape allows the seated person to rest their elbows on the armrests, making it possible to read comfortably for a longer period of time.

Designer: Pieter Dauwe

The Samurai Chair’s striking aesthetic gives the illusion that it’s fallen victim to a samurai’s razor sharp katana. It will make you think twice before sitting down, but rest assure, it’s still capable of holding up to 330 lbs! Need proof huh? Hit the jump to see designer Seo Young Moon put it to the test.

I LOVE the story behind this wild chair – when designer Jason Goh would play with his food as a child (his favorite being fish balls), his grandma came up with a scary fish ball monster story to deter him. She said that if he kept playing the fish balls would turn into a big hairy monster and eat him up! Bringing the story to life, this monstrous Moyee  chair inspires play in kids and adults alike.

The body of the chair is constructed similar to the Roly-Poly toy, where the user can rock the ball without rolling the entire chair over. With mood lighting inside, it’s a perfect place to read a story or just hang out.

Designer: Jason Goh

Admittedly, I wasn’t sure what I was looking at when I first saw this design by Streng, but I think that’s just a part of its appeal & exactly what I like about it so much. The metal Meme stool gives the illusion of heaviness but is actually one continuous surface of lightweight aluminum sheet that’s handmade using a metal-turning process. Using interlocking top & bottom components, the user can stack or group multiples together to create unique sculptural arrangements. Check out the vid to see how it’s made!

The Mägi (Estonian for “mountain”) bench’s striking construction is composed of just two parts: the upper with simple and pure geometry that constitutes the seat in contrast with the lower base where jagged lines remind of stylized contours of headlands and mountainscapes while serving as both support and storage for books, magazines and other items.

Designers: Jari Nyman & Olli Mustikainen
