Furniture

i’ve been prottyping in steel lately, and this chair was an inspiration.

Just a straight ahead simple design. I love the square baseball stitch seams which are durable. My Eames lounge chair can’t hold one damn book! I might have to make a trade-in.

The Flux chair is a very compact chair that is extremely light and can be folded flat for easy storage. It comes in a number of colors and is pretty snappy looking. But it’s a bit of a novelty or a gimmick. I can’t get over the fact that rarely would anyone want to unfold this chair once it is folded into shape. That said, it’s flimsy as a chair on its own and it’s too precious to be a folding chair. I’m just not there with this one.

You tell me: does every piece of furniture look better with a wood box stuck to it? I think not. http://is.gd/d64XsT

Here’s some wallpaper that is so incredible that if I were to put it in my house I would have to upgrade all my furniture http://is.gd/GSTk

Now that I’ve spent the last five years writing about design, I’ve sort-of gotten tired of covering the straight ahead modernist pieces, but this is one of those pieces of furniture that is so sharp that you get cut just looking at it. Now if I had a few Gs…

3 years ago, my wife and I had a child. Since then my design blog has suffered from neglect. Today, I hope to end this. But I’m starting out slowly with a quick post from one of the great American furniture companies: Council. In May, they came out with a collection that I hope will be an instant classic. My favorite piece is Slope, a sofa by bERT&dENNIS that is so Mad Men with a twist… or a bend in this case.

I saw this at Yatzer, and I really appreciated the above piece for where it brought my imagination.  The piece by metal garden furniture DeCastelli is not meant to be a dining table, I don’t think. I think it’s meant as pure vision of landscape on a miniature scale. But it occurred to me that this design could make a perfect dining experience. The mountains and the forest represented in this work could bring new rituals and new sensations to a dining experience. For instance, the plant could be a fragrant herb used to complement the food’s flavors. The mountains could be perfect vessels to cook Indian breads or simply to remind the eater where their food comes from. Maybe new forms of dining tables could arise based on the way their structures interact with the cuisine presented to them.

I really don’t think anyone goes out looking for a clock anymore. So, to realy differentiate yourself in the time telling business you have to make something like qlocktwo. it uses this weird letter matrix to spell out the time in five minute intervals. And it does this at the low price of twelve hundred dollars. I can’t shake the feeling that, although quite beautiful, the clock is not novel enough or well crafted enough to warrant the cost. of course, i can be swayed by a good arguement.
