Purely White and Wood

Purely White and Wood

This reinvention of the Gispen Today collection by Thijs Smeets combines advanced production techniques with contemporary & eloquent design- a radically different approach for a brand known for its tubular steel frames. The series of chair, sofa, stool, table, wall rack, magazine holder, & even an umbrella stand are characterized by chamfered plywood contrasted with bright white molded shells or fabric. While different than Gispen’s usual chromed out look, each piece maintains a clean, modern aesthetic.

Only geeky by name...

Only geeky by name…

Featuring a commanding contrast of raw wood and steel, the Geek chair has a fresh and contemporary appearance that’s elegant yet unpretentious. The design itself is straightforward and familiar, using simple geometric lines for subtlety. For more individual style, there’s a choice of matte black or white finish coupled with the solid maple rods.

Interactive Interior

Interactive Interior

The Cromatic collection of children’s bedroom furniture blurs the difference between fixed and flexible furnishings in a transformative combination of beds, desk and storage. Kids and parents can customize configurations to their liking with rolling bed and moveable table units that maximize play, work and relaxation space. It’s as functional as it is fun, and teaches us that the line between permanent and portable is not so cut and dry! Check out the vid to see it in action—>

Design from Scratch

Design from Scratch

At first glance, you wouldn’t think that the “First Chair” was all that simple to produce with its seemingly complex counterbalance of the legs, seat & back. But it’s actually result of the designers attempt to create a chair entirely from scratch! Using only the minimal amount of tools & materials available in his workshop at the moment, designer Jonathan Dorthe cut each piece from a single flat sheet of Russian plywood & then assembled using basic joinery techniques. It’s minimal in both aesthetic & process!

A Swiss Army Knife of a Table

A Swiss Army Knife of a Table

D*Haus’ D*Table is a functional 3D puzzle inspired by the Haberdashers Formula! Discovered by English mathematician Dudeney in 1903, it turns a perfect square into an equilateral triangle by dissecting the square into four distinct shapes. Dudeney’s achievement lay dormant in mathematical textbooks for over 100 years, but when applied to modern design, the possibilities are endless! Functionally flexible, this coffee table adapts to any space while encouraging play and user interaction.

Extraterrestrial or chair?

Extraterrestrial or chair?

Like something straight out of a science fiction horror movie, the UB1K chair touches on the darker side of futurism with its alien, scaly, organic aesthetic. The tripodal design appears muscular… flexing to pounce at any moment. It’s a bit menacing but nonetheless captivating.

The Wonder of What's Under

The Wonder of What’s Under

Ukraine based designer, Max Ptk, has imagined a dining room uncluttered with extra things like chair legs and table bases. At least, thats the illusion this beautifully conceived dining room set gives off. Made of tempered glass and wood, the “Rauma Collection” makes a boldly minimal statement, while at the same time confusing far-sighted family pets.

Synthetically Strong, Naturally Tough

Synthetically Strong, Naturally Tough

Ramus, latin for “tree branch,” is a sculptural piece that combines the strongest of man-made materials with the natural structural advantages of a tree’s branches. The carbon fiber, steel and Kevlar-reinforced base is virtually indestructible, yet has a misleadingly delicate aesthetic. In gloss or satin finishes, it’s a super chic addition to the modern office.

Star Gazing Table

Star Gazing Table

The Nebula table is created from a combination of polygons that play with the viewer’s perspective, making the facade an interactive sculpture of sorts. Depending on the angle from which it is viewed, the glossy black surface also gives a subtle, clouded reflection of surrounding colors that resembles an interstellar cloud. Composed of fiberglass, it’s a sexy accessory inside or out.

Rock it Modern Style

Rock it Modern Style

Designer Seden Craig said it best- “this ain’t your granddaddy’s rocking chair!” The skeletal design was inspired by slatted furniture as well as topography models making it a unique, modern twist on the conventional rocker that’s defined by linear wood slides contrasted with a white facade on top. It’s an interesting alternative to both the outdoor adirondack or indoor rocker.

High Chair that Grows Up Too

High Chair that Grows Up Too

The Froc high chair was designed with growing kids in mind, adjusting in just 3 simple steps (footrest, seat, and backrest) to accommodate children from the age of 6 months up to 10 years old. The adaptable design grows with kids, so there’s no need to endlessly replace chairs that become too small. The super-solid design also offers superior stability, focusing the center of gravity at the seat so kids and wiggle all they want!
