10 most cockiest furniture

Eimear - mirror

Designer: Colm Keller @ HDK

(showed at ‘Made by memories’ - Furniture fair 2008 )

look! I am so stylish! - says the cocky teenager resting against wall. (I love it)

In a design go a designer’s mood, ideas, hard work, and throwing away 100’s of blueprints. Everything is reflected in the design. It isn’t an easy job.

But a piece of furniture may evoke different emotions in the viewer - consumer; different then as perceived by the designer.

Hats off to designers’ creativity and meaning no offence:-

I declare these ten furniture - most cockiest, very interesting, funny, whimsical or plain mischievous in a subtle way.

For those who are excellent bathroom singers but have problems with memory!

The one who can’t remember even one full song!

Again something for forgetfulness and mostly for paranoia!

The doormat ‘Reminder’ says:

 KEYS, WALLET, MOBILE PHONE.

The second one says: IRON, STOVE, WINDOW.

Put inside the door and don’t forget to look down. Or better put on the door itself!

(Don’t you worry- you are not alone -happens with all of us many a times!)

These are not just fun and funky products, these are functional too.

How else I would say the bed cover, plastic rugs for swimming pool, computer bag  and screens; some real recycled innovation!!

These handmade products are from Kunye - brilliant brainchild of Alison Coutras (and her local team of craftisans - a cooperative to combat unemployment) in South Africa.

Kunye is the Xhosa word for ‘forward together’.

Kunye has won a number of awards.

No gain without pain!!
