Foldone is an ultramodern design that skews the viewer’s perception of movement with folded surfaces and irregular geometries reminiscent of a stealth fighter. The angular folds are not only structurally significant in making the piece sturdy, but also create a visual continuity that encourages the eye to trace the length of the seamless form.

If the name alone wasn’t a tip-off, just one look at the Kandinsky Chair would suggest that its striking form was inspired by the father of pure abstract painting, Wassily Kandinsky. The playful design plays with the user’s perception using altered points, line forms and most obviously a striking, mirrored reversal of the legs. Looks like something straight out of a Dr. Seuss book! Do want!

The inspiration behind the O furniture series came from our human tendency to sporadically place plants and pots at home and was crafted with a top surface perfect for containing these plants. The shallow, sunken top is lined with handcrafted ceramic vessels of different size, balancing and softening the rigid geometry of the console and credenza. Maybe you’re not a fan of indoor plants- the unique structure offers an unusual way of storing a multitude of items from books to knick knacks.

The Puff series is an interesting take on furniture design, where metal and wood make a raw connection. Basically the design studio commissioned a series where metal was cut and welded together to form a deflated shape. The flat-packed furniture is assembled and inflated to realize its true form. The series consists of Puff Stool, Yayu Table and Dan Bench. All of them require a quick gust from your bicycle pump and are good to go!

I love a design that makes you wonder, “what the heck am I looking at?!” Especially when it’s as pretty as this chair by Laurie Beckerman. The design is both fascinating and functional with a unique optical pattern that’s captivating from every angle. Though its aesthetic is light and delicate, the laser cut, black powder coated steel construction is super strong, perfect for indoor or outdoor use.

The unique construction of the Ane stool gives the illusion of intricate complexity, but don’t be fooled… the multiple solid timber pieces are actually all of one shape positioned and cut in a dynamic way that makes them look significantly different. Individual pieces appear to float on its powder coated black or white steel frame, enhancing its striking aesthetic as well as its structural integrity.
Designer: Troy Backhouse
Just as the name suggests, the Wood-con-fusion table fuses wood, veneer and formica leftovers that are literally collected off the floor of local carpentry studios. Each table begins its life as a seemingly useless pile of scrap before fragments are pressed and processed into sheets used to create unique one-off pieces that are sustainable, über-functional, and downright pretty.
Designer: Eli Chissick
Using modular pieces, the well-thought Nube coffee table offers a solution for both large scale production and personal customization. By focusing on the repetitive use of a single component, the unique base is easily constructed to size specification, yet maintains an organic and fluid shape not often found in other modular designs. Furthermore, the versatile design of the base means it can be flipped upside down for an entirely new aesthetic that functions just the same!
