The Bro Chair and Stool by Scott Lee Hae Seung

At the initial stage of designing ‘Bro’ chair, I was looking for new type of detailing to go with lamination bending. Of course from the manufacturing process, laminated wood itself has beautiful authentic details. Since the invention of the wood lamination bending technique with the traditional detail kept as a common rule, I was trying to look for a well-matched detail in current visual era. The chamfered edge (normally not done for laminated wood, but done in solid wood furniture) and applied a stripe of contrasting color to give it a graphical thin-edge-effect on the chair.

 

The Bro Chair and Stool is the work of a Korean designer is Scott Lee Hae-Seung. The designer gives a difference in any form or Stool Chair Bro. Below will be explained on the explanation of both the work of Korean designers.

The Woven Series by Timothy John

An interest in creating texture through weaving is also a key component in the series. Industrial synthetic felt, intended for lining nautical vessels is cut and sewn into strips then woven around the steel framework to form a unique covering.Creating the Genius first inspired the making of a second piece in which the steel wire frame is semi-exposed. The Mastermind is essentially the Genius, partially deconstructed, showcasing just how beautiful the body under all its layers can be. The Deviant clock exhibits these very same materials and techniques, applied to a large Grandfather clock form, putting a twist on tradition.The series provokes thought and emotion. Viewers cannot help but reach out to touch and interact with each piece.

FAVN Sofa by Jaime Hayon for Fritz Hansen

Jaime Hayon has designed the FAVN sofa for the Danish furniture manufacturer Fritz Hansen.

FAVN; the Danish name for embrace, is a new sofa designed by Jaime Hayon for Fritz Hansen. The new sofa is the result of a creative dialogue and will be launched during the Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2011 at Republic of Fritz Hansen’s showroom in Milan.“I wanted the sofa to be based on a shell. A shell being hard on the outside, soft and welcoming on the inside.” Says Jaime Hayón. “I wanted to create a form that embraces you, something really organic – that’s why we named it FAVN.” Hayón continues.Recognized by his fresh, colourful and extrovert design style, the award winning artist-designer is the most recent addition to Fritz Hansen’s family tree of designers. Hayón carries forward Fritz Hansen’s long tradition of working with some of the world’s most talented architect and designers.

“FAVN is an evolution of Fritz Hansen’s design language that brings together the qualities of Spanish and Danish design”. Says Jaime Hayón. “FAVN is picking up from the long tradition of Arne Jacobsen in the sense that I wanted to create a form that was based on a shell, like the Egg™ and the Swan™ which looks equally beautiful from all angles.” Hayón continues.FAVN is the result of an experimental dialogue and presents an honest interpretation of Fritz Hansen’s design values. It represents a true reflection of Fritz Hansen’s ambition to achieve sustainable quality in crafting timeless design.The new sofa is presented in ten unique Designer Selections; light grey, sage green, clear beige, taupe, chocolate, moutarde, red, violet, dark blue and black. It includes a mix of three fabrics to express the form of its three main components; the shell, seat and back and decorative cushions.

Corsica Chair by Ian Spencer and Cairn Young

British designers Ian Spencer and Cairn Young have created the Corsica chair.

One my “must google” items, that I draw a blank on describing in five or less words, is the look of this Corsica Chair by UK designers Ian Spencer and Cairn Young. When I was living in Costa Rica, the pattern of warm woods in a geometric patchwork was commonly seen in little shops consisting of cutting boards and salad bowls.

 Although the history of this look is still a question mark in my mind that hasn’t been dug up for years, I’ve always loved the look. The color palette in its random placement draws you in just like a great pair of Desigual pants from Spain, but more than that, I find that its shape tests us to re-examine the symmetry we seek in furniture.

Low Chairs Family by Jovana Bogdanovic

Jovana Bogdanovic, a Serbian designer now living and working in Hangzhou, China, has created the “Low Chairs Family”

 Jovana’s design works are an exquisite voyage of their own. A native of Belgrade graduated from the city’s university in the faculty of Applied Arts, Jovana lived and worked in Milan with Studio Patricia Urquiola until the end of 2009. Since then she has embarked upon the adventure of INNOVO DESIGN, a studio co-founded with fellow designers ZHANG Lei from China and Christoph JHON from Germany. INNOVO DESIGN has its headquarters near Shanghai in Hangzhou, a city renowned for its astonishing amalgamation of ancestral scapes and modern city comforts. Once capital of the Southern Song dynasty (960–1279 AD), Hangzhou still retains today the solemn beauty of its ancient palaces, gardens and slow-paced lifestyle. As the studio is committed to a research-oriented practice spanning from design for mobility and transportation to lights and home appliances, it distinctively feels inspired by a homegrown sense of matter-and-body searching through the design of objects to yield a better and smoother interaction with our environment.

 Jovana’s work is indeed imbued with a spirit of real life experiences and cultural generosity, which informs a personal practice of technical acuity and relational character. The Low Chairs Family series, one of her first realizations after moving to China, plays out the positive contradictions inherent in cultural encounters often, albeit ingenuously, predicated on mutual stereotypes and misunderstandings. The series is itself a response to the misconception Jovana had about Asian seating privileging low and crouching postures, an expectation proven wrong by her actual experience in China. These deceptively ‘low-rise’ chairs and tables are made appealing and genteel in their solid largesse by a scheme of pastel colors and matching sets of soft cushions. Technical and aesthetic refinement are the product of both skill and sensitivity, one that makes itself recipient to the invisible, ordinary trafficking of symbols and objects.

The Rising Chair by Robert van Embricqs

Dutch designer Robert van Embricqs has created the Rising Chair.

 Its very easy to gather a huge collection of different chairs, throughout the years there has been a staggering abundance of them, in all shapes and sizes. But what fascinated me during my research was a simple question: to what degree is the object you’re creating capable of dictating its own design? Is it even possible for an object to ‘tell’ for which form its best suited? And if so, what will the end result be? Following this train of thought led me to discover several interesting options to create a new kind of chair.Creation and construction
The foundation of any chair is the flat surface you’ll eventually sit down on. Using this notion as a starting point, I made several cuts in the flat surface and pulled up the different beam-like strands of cut surface. This created the preliminary but already distinct features of any chair: back, seat and legs. The rhythm of the wooden beams gives the chair an organic shape. The cuts are most visible when the chair is still down. But at that stage of the construction, I still didn’t know what shape the chair would take in the end. This was determined by the various arches of the wooden beams the chair is made up of. As a creator, I felt a special connection to the material I was working with. Molding the chair into its definitive form, it felt like a special, hard to define partnership between myself and the material.

 The seating area of the chair can be called to attention by applying different colours. In its flat state, using a variety of colours can help define the areas on the beam that create the seat. It’s also possible to underline the contrast between the sides of the chair and the top. This can be done by picking different colours for them.

I came across the seat design when I was experimenting with the various angles of the wooden beams. I wanted to see if it was possible to create a surface-like structure with them. The solution was to turn every odd-numbered beam in the exact opposite direction of its neighbour. This way the seat most resembles the petals of a flower. This again emphasizes the nature vibe I wanted this chair to exude.

The Meridian Collection from Thos. Moser

Maine-based solid wood furniture craftsmen Thos. Moser have recently introduced the Meridian collection of tables, seating and storage pieces.

 

The collection is a more contemporary style than what Thos. Moser is commonly known for, a direction driven by the company’s lead designer, David Moser. It is the company’s first collection to be launched using ash, which allows the grain and texture of the wood to come to the fore and adds a clean, modern feel. Meridian is also available in cherry.

The NEST Chair by Markus Johansson

Swedish designer Markus Johansson

A piece of nature moves into mankinds cosy homes and breaking up straight, rigid and traditional forms, a place in the home where you can curl up to a period of rest, or for a fairy tale moment, an orderly chaos of pegs that have been transformed to both an asymmetric and symmetrical furniture.A playful and imaginative process has been the starting point to find a functional whole. The furniture is made of flat round pieces and composed entirely of free forms without any “correct” angles, and of course, environmentally friendly, it is made entirely of wood.
