Television packaging that becomes a playful TV stand once you get home. Made from expanded polypropylene which can be moulded in virtually any color and with any surface texture.
The cavities for the packaged TV become the shelves of the stand. DVD players and other electrical equipment can be placed on the shelves, with their plugs and cables fed through holes at the back.

The Louis XXI coffee table follows the classic design lines prevalent during the time of Louis XVI but injects a bit of social rhetoric by inset, criss crossing grooves. A metaphor for the reconstruction of France after the fall of the treasonist King.
Designer: Francesco Cappuccio
Front’s new collection is magical. They have created design with impossible characteristics that seem to defy the laws of nature. Front collaborated with magicians and learned their secrets. In the Magic collection, design pieces are made to make other objects disappear, a lamp that levitates, a chair balances on one leg and a chest of drawers separates and floats away.
Designer: Front Design Studio
When we think of urban spaces, it’s often about efficiency. Beauty usually plays no role in the design so the Ondine Bench is a perculiar concept. The smooth organic shape can be created by combining identical modules and arranging them into a circle. They provide a fun way for people to sit – some higher, some lower.
Designer: Michael Bihain & Cedric Callewart
The starting point of the collection features the couple made up of chair and armchair: Caprice and Passion. Remembering the teaching of Jean-Michel Frank, Pierre Chareau, Jacques-Emile Ruhlmann, Philippe Starck has designed two compact wrap-around seats, two shells with sinuous profiles, welcoming and protective, whose clean-cut lines are to be topped with a gorgeous quilted cover, a mosaic of leather or fabric which seems to become an elegant and sophisticated gown.

The visual language of the Lava upholstered seating system is reminiscent of gently flowing lava. The elements of the collection can be arranged loosely, according to individual ideas and requirements, and combined into a complex upholstered seating system. The generously designed elements can be arranged in playful ways: crosswise, parallel or stacked, with each variation appealing to the user’s imagination and creative joy.

With a plain and functional appearance, the Kada multifunctional table/seat reflects the changing requirements of our modern lifestyle. Its design combines the technology and flexibility of contemporary living areas. The simple construction and assembly create an interesting contrast to its manifold functions. In everyday life, it can serve as a foldaway padded stool, as a side table or as an electrical control centre.
Designer: Yves Behar [ Manufacturer: Danese ]
The B-Flat sofa system is a piece of furniture with an innovative and functional design. It consists of individual sofas and various extension and corner elements, which can be freely combined. A distinct feature of the sofa are the low back cushions, which can easily be moved up or down the round guide rail to which they are attached.

Lets preface by saying DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. Truth be told, as designers I’m sure we’ve done something similar. I remember burning foam just to watch it melt and sizzle into some unrecognizable blob. Tom Price’s Meltdown Chair takes it a step further.

Designer Hoon Roh (love the name) is one of those interesting designers that look to nature for inspiration in regard to design and function. One oft studied organism is the bee, moreover their unique honeycomb hives. Thru millions of years of evolution, nature has perfected a design language for the bee, creating chambers that provide optimum support while staying frugal on building material.

Who says folding-chairs have to be ugly? The Fuchs + Funke Studio created one that’s lightweight and fun to use. Looking like some weird polygon modeled pulled out of a 3D program, the Papton Chair is made entirely from one composite panel. In order to get the shape of a chair we all know and love, multiple folds had to be created. The end result is a design that’s both bold and graphic.

Alexandre Boucher believes you only need one. A tabletop is carefully balanced on one large offset pillar. This minimalistic approach creates a sense of openness above and below the table, as if it were levitating.
