kid's stool

The initial idea behind the project was to create an item of furniture that combines semantic codes that work with a child's imagination, with a solid, structural form. The elephant stool's form follows function, however the construction's element's are accentuated to allow for the stool's animalistic character to become apparent. The stool's stackability and different heights make it an ideal furniture solution for nurseries and kindergartens, however its abstract form makes it an endearing stool for general use/Krystian Kowalski

Multi-purpose Chair/Stool

Many kitchens nowadays are connected to the living room to create one larger, open space. The only visible divider between the two functions is often a dividing bar, otherwise known as an "island". My chair can become a bar stool and functions with an "island", as well as providing comfortable seating by a dining table. It can then be folded away completely after use/Krystian Kowalski

grace table

Grand furniture pieces are marvelous, although rather tricky to transport. handle or store. I admire the capacity of inflatable furniture to decrease its size to modest volumes. Inflatable furniture has many disadvantages such as stability, rigidity, the control of its shape etc. Inflatable chairs and couches have been around for a long time. I am trying to move toward this concept from a different approach: inflatable tables do not exist because of the limitations of inflatable furniture, starting with the fact that flat surfaces are difficult to achieve/Philippe Malouin

alvin

Alvin is a mobile using basic Timber dowel, screw eyes and rope, a remarkably simple, yet, controlled shape becomes a work of decorative art. By stripping the components to their bare minimum, one breaks away from decorative trends and overdecorating/Philippe Malouin

X Y and Z

Jean Prouvé never disguised the production process of his furniture. Weld seems were thus not smoothed off and the construction mainly responded to static considerations. Inspired by this approach, I tried to give an account of the production process through the design of the lamps instead of trying to obscure the process as it is common in industrial manufacturing. X Y and Z is a lighting series with joints that are connected through the simple method of crimping. The crimping does not only serve as a construction solution, but also constitutes a narrative feature of design. The shades are connected to right angle steel tube stands through a flexible magnetic ball-joint. The green hammer-effect varnish pays tribute to the tools that were used in the production process/Daniel Lorch

Juan, stool

The family’s materiality consists of a 5 millimeter thick plastic sheet with indents that allow the surfaces to be bent creating a stable volume. They are folded from a flat state to a highly robust volume, which gets secured by straps, additionally the chairs can be unfolded flat anytime for storing or whatever need for saving space/reinharddienes

Tonic

Tonic is assembled without screws or the use of tools. Tonic can be used in two different positions; horizontal as a Sideboard, or vertical as a Bookcase. To achieve this change the legs are simply taken out of the sockets and replaced in the desired position. This transformation allows Tonic to adapt itself to changing living situations and desires. The dark legs appear to be sketched and give Tonic the self-evident charm of simplicity and lightness/reinharddienes

le belge

The table-piece is base on a basic construction principle: The elasticity of wood. The flexibility of Oak permits a simple and astonishing way of securing the table-top and legs together by applying pressure using butterfly-screws. The need for tools to setup or adjust Le Belge is therefore nonexistent. The Butterfly-screws also allow to vary the height of the table-top to any desired position. The different size table-tops can be combined with one set of legs, and the table-tops can be turned-over due to the angle of the cutouts/reinharddienes

ostrea

Sofa inspired by an oyster shell made by using traditional upholstery techniques. Called Ostrea, the seating is sculpted from styrofoam and covered with hand-stitched wool/Annika Göransson

drop

The Drop Stools are made from a combination of an eco-friendly wood seat and precision machined aluminum legs. The concept for the stools derived from the production of the Soft Tools felt lamps, which uses large wood blocks to hand form their shapes. The wood seats are composed of unusable wood drops from local woodworkers in the Northeast Ohio area/objeti

Bottle Opener

A simple tool of great utility. One magnet captures the bottle cap; one holds opener to the fridge/Brenda Nravenhill
