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.

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!

Thomas Feichtner’s Tram Chair concept for the historical TON brand is strongly inspired by the company’s time-honored production processes: first by the company’s own plant for the production of seat shells from molded wood, and second by its longstanding factory for the production of classic bentwood. Merging the bentwood and molded wood methods created a few constructional innovations in the process. Jump to the video to see how!

Thomas Feichnter’s design strategy for the Fino collection was to eliminate the heavy and massive quality typical of solid wood furniture while retaining its constructive materiality. Each piece is characterized by an overall quality of lightness achieved by straight elements and joints as well as conically shaped table edges and legs that are tapered toward the floor. When combined they create cohesive solutions but individual items also make a great compliment to existing furniture.

Applied perfectly to this ultra-contemporary garden setting, Peter Donders’ creative seating designs, the C Bench and Stone, instantly command a strong visual attraction. Each uses a single strand of carbon fiber twisted around a mold. When the mold is removed the resulting structure is organic and airy in aesthetic yet incredibly strong. They’re a surprising solution for both indoor/outdoor seating and exceptional for defining a variety of modern spaces.

A whopping 80 curved steel rods spring out of the Dome stool’s base to create an intricate yet functional “cushion.” In a strikingly polar blend of materials, the base is constructed from raw beech wood, contrasting the hard metal web.

The K-I-T or Keep-It-Together Chair is a thoughtful DIY design that’s as comfortable as it is easy to put together. Composed primarily of MDF panels, the shell is held together by velcro strips, giving the chair some flexibility and wiggle room. Optimized for reading, the shape allows the seated person to rest their elbows on the armrests, making it possible to read comfortably for a longer period of time.
Designer: Pieter Dauwe
This original seating design called Statthocker transforms old-fashioned 1960s street lanterns into modern, stackable stools that pay homage to the repurposed material. Noticing that local discarded lanterns were the perfect seat height, the designers covered the tops in durable HI-MACS material and left the underside open for easy stacking. As an ode to the origin, LED lights are fitted into a milled recess beneath the seat, bringing new life and functionality to the recycled shades.
Designers: Oliver Bahr & Bastian Demmer
