Talon stools by John Galvin

John Galvin is no stranger to plastolux, he has some amazing skills when it comes to shaping and manipulating wood. These two stools are some of the new pieces he will be launching in London next week at Clerkenwell Design week. I am really liking the stool with the flat seat and scooped back. As always killer work!

New from Studio Dunn

With ICFF upon us there are bound to be a slew of new products and designs for us to admire. Studio Dunn has some new pieces for us to look at. The Corliss Chair, Bristol Console Table and the Narragansett Bowls are what caught my eye. I have always admired the work of Studio Dunn, their attention to detail and killer craftsmanship rank pretty high in my book (I don’t really have a ranking book but you know what I mean) I wish I were going to be at ICFF this year to see all of the “newness” that will clog the internet soon.

Friday by Zeitraum

We are still have dreams of replacing our beat up IKEA sofa but who knows when that will happen, in the mean time I will still drool and dream about the most killer sofa. The Friday line by Zeitraum has a pretty incredible sofa. Wood curves, slung leather and contrast stitching, whats not to love about this? I would like to see it in a longer version.

Acciaio Series - steel chairs, inspired by the bicycle

The Acciaio Series by Max Lipsey is modern seating made from steel, inspired by the bicycle. I am quite smitten with these chairs, mostly the lounge chair, what a killer design. I am really not into cycling but I do appreciate the technology that the cycling world presents. The concept and execution of the Acciaio Series are visually quite nice. I love the perforated leather against the “stilt” like frame work of the chair. I need a pair of these in green.

Two modern tables by Studio Intussen

A while back I posted about a really cool table called Pixel Table. While looking through my bookmarks I found Studio Intussen again and looked through their “projects”. They have made two tables both used different material but they had some similarities in function. I love the idea of having “visual storage” seeing what has been put away. I am digging on both the use of plywood and bamboo.

living with friends by Mark Bendow Interior Environments

I was snooping around on the Behance Network and came across The living with friends cabinet by Mark Bendow Interior Environments. Typically this is really not my flavor but the more I looked at it the more I liked it. I wondered how it would look if each piece was done in a different type of wood. I could see little figures “stuck” in the boxes holding themselves up.

The dynamic of states like falling, floating or swinging is just hardly applied onto a static body. But if we think about dancing or acrobatics it becomes clear that the most dynamic and exciting figures are based on the interaction of several individuals. To support and hold each other and therefore to counteract external forces ones could not bear alone
