Iacoli & McAllister is the Seattle based design studio formed by Jamie Iacoli & Brian McAllister. More than anything else they really want to make beautiful things, things that people want to live with.

Pedestal

It’s about beauty, quality and style.Rather than being concerned with innovation, we strive to perfect our craft; that of proportion, scale, color, and fabrication. And we only want to make this stuff in the U.S. Our process is one part exploration, one part learning curve, one part affection, one part sheer strife, and one part caffeine. We also really like to travel and sleep.

Tree Bookcase by Shawn Soh

Shan Tara — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 14:08:49 +0000

This concept behind the design came from Shawn Soh’s early memories of sticking letters on tree branches. Unlike a regular bookshelf, Tree Bookshelf’s branch-shaped ‘shelves’ are very forgiving, meaning that books don’t need to be put back neatly. The organic nooks and crannies are perfect for tucking away toys and treasures too.

Rather than using wood for the design, which involves a ton of cutting and wasting of trees, Shawn decided to use steel, which is durable and easy to recycle. Each bookshelf takes one week to produce and every process including the welding and bending is done by hand.

Designer Elisa Strozyk in collaboration with artist Sebastian Neeb from Germany will be featuring their ‘Accordion Cabinet’ at IMM Cologne 2011. The ingenious design of the cabinet stems from the privacy created with concertina folds that open and close to reveal four compartments on the left and right four on the right side.

Description from the designer:

This piece of furniture features a wooden layer folded in the manner of an accordion, wrapped around a rectangular unit. The wooden layer is made of lamellas of various veneers, fixed to a textile base material. The combination of materials shows the wood in a new, surprising light, as it can be moved similarly to a piece of fabric. The cabinet is playfully opened by folding it.
