15. January 2011
This design comes from the traditional Chinese form of calligraphy and painting – the scroll. It takes this scroll and uses the Involute curves to create a chair seat that provides both good elasticity and support. The seat piece is made of stainless steel or carbon fibre and extruded PC. This chair can be placed [...]

This is Yoyo Furniture and it’s designed by none other than Juil Kim, the designer who brought you that fabulous bike with an iPhone in it. Neato. This design is far from that. This design is a piece of furniture that’s all about adjustment. You can move it up, you can move it down. Don’t [...]

24. November 2010
This right here is called the DSNL, aka the Day Shade Night Light, and it does exactly what it sounds like it does. During the day it blocks the sunlight, and at night, it creates light. But wait, there’s more: it’s build with two materials (mainly,) flexible solar panels and flexible organix light-emmiting diodes (OLED.) [...]

Designers Jeonghwa Seo and Hanna Chung’s Design Academy Eindhoven grad project is the Ripple Effect Tea Table, surfaced with actual water.

3. August 2010
Here we’ve got two projects, a chair, and a door, both made by “FORMBOTEN.” They might seem disparate, but they’re hella the same. They’re both super excellent. They’re both made to make your life more interesting. They’re both made with molded wood. Not THAT kind of molded, I mean shaped, turned into curves. There’s a [...]

1. August 2010
Let me introduce you to this lovely, organic chair. I say organic because of the aesthetic of the whole thing. Look at it! Or rather, look at them, there’s more than one. This is the “Zeren Chair” designed by Njegos Lakic of Belgrade. The Zeren Chair is characterized by it’s low weight, thin structure, and [...]

29. July 2010
This project has a fabulous title: “Can Cardboard Cut It?” That question mark means the whole project is a question for the consumer to answer. My answer, without even sitting on it, is a definite maybe. It’s a hundred percent recyclable, so that’s definitely a good start. Then it all fits together, the stool inside [...]

16. July 2010
Now this is one of those simple and simply brilliant designs. It doesn’t happen often that a design so simple as a lamp touches my heartbones, but check it out. It’s all in the description. In describing this project, the designers at Onø Design made the comment “sensibly reusing the daylight” as far as how [...]

13. July 2010
Welcome back to new antiquity. Back to the future, that’s what this is. This project goes by the name “Ionic Bench” and is the work of deigner Laurie Beckerman. Inspired, as I’m sure you already recognize, by the top of an ionic column, taking from it not the hard stone thickness, but instead the lines [...]
