Splint-Leg Office Table by Owen and Vokes

Yup! we get a double shot of Owen and Vokes today. Not only do they design and renovate some amazing modern homes but they have also designed some really cool furniture. Plywood is so versatile and their Splint-Leg table is such a creative way to utilize this more common material. The details are pretty killer, the inlaid X in the middle.

Four-Room Cottage by Owen and Vokes

There is just something about an all black and white house, what is it? Is it the perfect canvas for every other element in and around it? Brisbane based Owen and Vokes has done a fantastic job on the Four-Room cottage, it feels like a formal glam beach house. I really love all of the surrounding vegetation that is part of this modern homes landscaping.

BIDOUN sofa series by Katrin Greiling

I am really digging on the work of Katrin Greiling, an industrial designer, interior architect and photographer with origin in Munich. My favorite design of hers is the BIDOUN sofa series. They remind me a ice cream sandwiches and I like ice cream sandwiches. The layering of texture and color mixed with an over sized stitch is killer.

Puzzle for living chairs by Konstantin Achkov

Konstantin Achkov just sent me his latest project for parts on exhibition “Puzzle for living”. I am in complete amazement at the complexity of these beautiful structures. I say structures because these chairs are assembled without glue, nails, screws or anything else. I also really love the black wood. Bravo Konstantin, job well done!

“My chairs are made with 18mm beech plywood. The puzzle parts are cut with a CNC router and assembled without glue, nail, screw or anything else”

Paper Planes by Doshi Levien

The Paper Planes chairs by Doshi Levien are so different but in such a great way. The Seating collection for Moroso. Bespoke print and jacquard. I love the high back and sides. The tilt or lounge of the chairs look to be just right. My favorite design element is the upholstery and choice of color ways. What a cool grouping of seats.

Interiors by ESTUDIO GUTO REQUENA

Totally enthralled with the work of ESTUDIO GUTO REQUENA. They are dead on with the style that I love. Give me some killer mid century pieces and mix them with some brightly colored pop art with a little dash of contemporary and BLAM!, or maybe POW…..LOVE IT! Does anyone know where the chair in the first pick came from and who the designer is?

“We believe in interactive, hiper-sensory, poetics, contemporary, humorous and honest spaces.”
