This chair is created by the Campana brothers exclusively to Moss in a numbered and limited edition of 25 pieces.
Banquete_Chair_with_Pandas_by_Fernando_And_Umberto_Campana1

Fernando and Humberto Campana design through eyes that are fiercely regional, political, and socioeconomic. Their irreverence is tempered by a humility and an appreciation of the artfully poetic. They often combine found or mass-produced objects like scraps of wood, stuffed animals, and discarded fabric scraps with advanced technologies. Their work is infused with personal commentary on issues of waste, resourcefulness, poverty, and perfection.

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. Henry is particularly interested in products that challenge convention while not compromising on functionality.

Stripped_Henry_Ellis_Paul2

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.

“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.

Phat Knits created by Dutch designer Bauke Knottnerus is a series of brilliantly over scaled furniture pieces. Despite the fact that the designer claims that he doesn’t really see himself as a furniture designer. “I’m more like a material designer,” he explains. “These things I make could end up as furniture or as textiles, it’s more like creating media that can be used to construct a coat or a carpet or a curtain.” Knit, woven, knotted or piled like spaghetti, the series includes seating, rugs, and multifunctional interior objects.
