Flying  carpet armchair

Designer: Ettore Sottsass (1917-2007)

@ Friedman Benda Gallery – selected works exhibited (May 1- June 21, 2008)

While watching TV or reading a book, ‘a strange thing happens’ to me. I am comfortably sitting on a chair or sofa and then I end up sitting on the floor!

How this happens; go unnoticed! Perhaps between the sofa and floor rests some curling up, stretching and bending activities!!

I do not know with how many of you ‘this strange thing happens’ but to my kind of people these furniture pieces are remarkably comfortable and suitable!

I wonder why many more such designs are not there?

High and Low living

Designer: Studioroom906

This furniture responds to variations in sitting habits of different cultures and situations. So the western chaise lounge is extended to a carpet of eastern craftsmanship.

material: felt and wool

FLAT II

Designer: Suzukikegroup

Luxury of sitting in countless ways! Indeed!

material: leather and steel

Dino clothes rack

Designer: Lincoln Kayiwa @ Kayiwa Oy

This Helsinki based young designer has ability to turn everyday objects into utterly functional by lending an innovative touch.

Earlier it was TUKAANI eating device - chopsticks made easy for us (the uninitiated).

Now Kayiwa has dug up Dino in the form of clothes racks. I love the flowing form and it is very functional too. It can be put in a wardrobe, cloakroom, boutique, and foyer. Because of it’s different size and height hangers; children and adults can use with much ease. Hangers are numbered for public places.

Linclon Kayiwa designs environment friendly, functional & beautiful products and produces from his own product design company Kayiwa.

Skate Chair

Designer: Florent Lasbleiz @ Lasbleizdesign

“Relaxing doesn’t necesarily mean, not moving…”

                                                  - This is designer Florent Lasbleiz’s version!

Skating doesn’t necessorily mean standing and moving…..! Purely my version!

Me sporty enough! Nah?

(what other version lazy bones could think of!)

Net result = Peanut

I am (not a child but) ready to jump in!!!

These two tables have architectural design elements.

This one comes with a fairy tale domain!

Table manners

Designers: Lisa Widén and Anna Irinarchos @ WIS Design

Tablemanners – the desk or workstation is your castle, your own territory in a public space!

Stockholm based WIS Design has a poetic and playful approach in whatever they design! 

Here a part of city sits on the table!→ ↓

Walk around the block

Designers: @ Gregor Jenkin Studio

Johannesberg based Gregor Jenkin Studio try to design things free from preconception! 

Warning: Copycats have nothing to do with cats or duplicity, copying someone!

It is about similarity, like twins, like Siamese twins, matching objects, about object and furniture that complement each other.

Things that inspire each other. And how designers sitting continents apart work on similar ideas with amazing results.

It is a long series like a column.

vanity table

Designer: Nina Edwards Anker @ nea studio

I am mesmerised by the cuts and curves created by the architect – designer Nina Edwards Anker for these furniture. The designer works from Oslo and NewYork.

This vanity table is a multifunctional piece. It can be used as desk and incorporated bowl can hold your pens & pencils. It can sleekly fit into your bedroom holding your cosmetics.

But I would like to create a stunning atmosphere with some water and flower into that incorporated bowl!

This table is inspired by melting snow and icicles!

crystallized chair

Like a crystal various facets of the chair catch and reflect the changing daylight.

Material plywood painted glossy white.
