SIE43 Chair by Pawel Grunert

Designer Pawel Grunert has created the SIE43 Chair for the ‘Eco Trans Pop’ exhibition of ecological design at the Colombari Gallery in Milan, Italy.

SIE43_Chair_Pawel_Grunert1

The chair is made from PET bottles with a stainless steel frame. The bottles can be easily changed if they show signs of damage. The seat is in the form of a flower. The rhythm of hundreds of PET bottles creates an organic structure. An ordinary form is transformed into an extraordinary form, standard form into a unique one.

Stripped by Henry Ellis-Paul

Henry Ellis-Paul is a 24-year-old British-born product designer who is currently based in London. He has previously worked designing packaging, toys and lighting, and believes that an understanding of different areas of the industry helps him maintain a healthy approach to his work.

Stripped consists of two key parts; the seat strips and the arm-rests. By using putting these segments together tables, benches, seats and sofas can be constructed. The simplicity of the design means the furniture can be regularly and easily moved, altered or added-to to fit the space it’s in, as well as the activities that surround it. In short, Stripped supplies the customer with the building blocks to make a piece of high-end designer furniture.

Cassette Tapes Floor Lamp by ooo my design

Cassette’s Not Dead Floor Lamp by ooo my design is made up of old audio cassettes which are joined together by nothing more than string. In fact, so easy is it to construct that you can even remove and replace cassettes so they can be listened to (assuming you actually have something to play them on).

I ♥ Yu, Naoshima Bathhouse by Shinro Ohtake

♥_Yu_Naoshima_Bathhouse_Shinro_Ohtake1

The Naoshima Bath house was opened on July 26, 2009 under the name of “I♥湯 (I love you).” Conceived by the artist Shinro Ohtake, this charming name softens the hearts of the customers before using the bathroom.
The project is particularly interesting because it blurs the distinction between art and practical daily life (the bathhouse can be used by locals, who pay just 300 yen rather than the standard 500 yen entrance fee to use it), between private corporations and public works, and between inside and outside.

The bottoms of the baths are lined with stones and collages of found images and shunga erotic prints that come in and out of view with the movement of the water.

Psycho Diagnostik Coasters

Psycho_Diagnostik_Coasters_1

Just have a drink and use the much more subtle Psycho Diagnostik Coasters with Rorschach ink blot tests printed on each one. You’ll get a good idea of what she’s got in mind when she comments on these coasters. If she sees “a pretty butterfly” that’s harmless, but if she sees “two soul mates intertwined” then she’s probably already thinking about what the centrepieces at the reception will look like.

Fiber Optic Cloth by Lumigram

Fiber_Optic_Cloth_Lumigram1

Lumigram, a Paris-based company has figured out a way to weave fibre optic threads alongside synthetic fibres creating light bright couture.

Lumigram says that, “unlike standard optical fibres, the fibre optic fabric emits light along the full length of the fibres,” and, “depending on the type of electronic module used with the fabric, several colours are possible (the most common and the most luminous being blue, red, green, yellow and white).”

“SuperFoam” Seating by Rich Gilbert

SuperFoam_Seating_Rich_Gilbert1

“SuperFoam” Seating by Rich Gilbert is an experimental project conducted by the student Rich Gilbert at the Royal College of Art in London. The chair is made from a foam casting in a square structure filled with balloons.

Making of SuperFoam Chair from Rich Gilbert on Vimeo.

What if we had the power to manipulate nature’s structures?
SuperFoam is a re-creation of naturally occurring reticulated foam structures through a casting process that facilitates designing the properties of the foam itself. By developing the casting process the properties of the foam could be controlled so the chair flexed and deformed to create a supportive structure.
