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

Jan chair by Enblanc

The Jan chair by Enblanc for Nasu 303 is a timeless chair that rescues the warmth of wood and combines it with the tension of the fabric that extends across the backrest and the seat. To me the wood mimics a metal frame in the way it is presented here and I think that is why I am intrigued by it. I would certainly like to see some leather in the mix.

Rune Bruun Johansen

Rune Bruun Johansen design’s are directly influenced by Danish design. I am mostly drawn to his storage pieces, I have never really been a fan of cherry wood but there are a couple of massive designs that are really outstanding. The use of brass in his pieces was nice to see, is brass making a come back in Mid Century and Danish? Or is it already back?
