Max Lamb for Commissioned

I like the fact that this stone alike furniture don't have anything to do with rock but they have a really interesting process of making them. Just watch the video...

Poly Chair from Max Lamb on Vimeo.


"amongst his pieces
is 'scrap poly furniture' whereby a process of destruction is used to create a chair, stool
and bench. here a variety of simple tools are used to make the furniture manually. the piece
are carved and the soft tactile polyurethane rubber finish is applied on top."

Elastic Wood by Gilli Kuchik

Ok, I completely dislike the chair... but the empiric investigation of flexible joints for wood furniture is really interesting. Think of the possibilities, and when you think about flexible joints it doesn't need to be wood, it could be any material really...

What you can follow in the sequence of pictures is that the chair is really easy to assemble thanks to the flexible material used with the wood. It would have been nice to know what is the flexible material we are talking about as there is no info on this matter.

Clever Little Bag by Yves Béhar for Puma

The title says everything... and seems very sustainable too. Don't you think so? You buy the whole package and you can reuse the bag as many times as you want to carry your Puma's around. Cool thinking over here.

Chairless by Alejandro Aravena for Vitra

I like the concept but I am sure that after a while it gets really uncomfortable... I don't get why they produce something that is an uncomfortable design, specially when we are talking about Vitra that has a history of great design. It doesn't make much sense, at least to me... Maybe someone can give some other opinion here!! Just feel free to leave a comment.

Forniture for Marsotto Edizioni

Marble furniture done most of them in one piece or almost one piece. Maybe my appreciation of these furniture has something to do with an almost lost Mies gene within myself (I used to love Ludwig Mies van der Rohe). And it's not that I don't like Mies anymore... I just got bored of his work. Apart from this fact, can you think of anything more sustainable than furniture carved into stone?? Although seating in one of the chairs must be like seating in icebergs...

Every piece has a nice and simple design.
