Chair Design | Low Chair | Innova

Chairs are something I wanted to start design first soon as I come to china. Year before in Milan in studio Urquiola I was enjoying working on the Moroso and Kartell chairs. My desire for designing chairs in China was even bigger because of the easy nest to make them. As an inspiration I took influences. I realized that influences are shaping my design and every place that I have lived in left a mark. As a European girl who likes Asian design very much, mine vision of Asian furniture was quite wrong. Whenever I thought of sitting habit in Asia in my mind was low sitting. I started my concept from there to make family of low sitting chairs. Later I founded that Chinese chairs are actually very high. Even wrong, but those influences I would like to keep while searching for another inspiration. Mixing them always creates something surprising.

Chair family contains 3 version of low sitting chairs. One with high back rest, second with low back rest and third is table-stool which can be used in both ways as stool with pillow or as coffee table......more

Chair Design | Cork Chair | Float | Daniel Michalik

This was the first piece of furniture I designed using cork. As you can see from the construction, I was (and still am) part woodworker, part corksmith. The frame is black lacquered beech, the seat cork. It's a bit higher than most contemporary lounge chairs, so it's very easy to get in and out of. Still, it is supremely comfortable and the cork seat feels luxurious in its tactility. The proportions of the seat are generous, allowing many different seating positions to be achieved comfortably. Pour yourself a cocktail and have a seat, I insist........more

Chair Design | A cork child's chair | Daniel Michalik

These childrens' chairs are made completely from cork that originates as the waste material from the bottle stopper industry. Cork has tremendous potential to perform in ways unlike any other material, as well as being an environmentally responsible material. These chairs are the result of the desire to develop my own techniques for casting granulated cork. Through learning to cast the material I am able to insure the ecological responsibility of all binding agents used, as well as streamline from scratch the production processes. Cast cork produces a dense, unusual texture, highly attractive and intriguing to the eyes and hands of young children. I hope to adapt the technique in the future to produce an adult-size version, but for now we will just have to wish we were tiny again.......more

"Y" is named after the geometric shape of the basic module, which is thus transformed from a visual motif into a functional form...........more

Below are all of the pairings, and their outcomes.

Interested in the playful nature of his creations, van Ast’s functionally aware pieces look to make the audience think carefully about how they interpret his objects.

Without any additional screws the legs can be inserted into the tabletop.
A special 3-D veneer covers both sides of the tabletop.......more
