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

Chair Design | Nuance by Luca Nichetto For Casamania

Project Assistant: Paolo Da Ponte
Material: Metal structure, polyurethane foam, textile upholstery
Typology: Upholstered chair and ottoman
Client: Casamania
Year: 2009

Nuance is a new concept in upholstered seating. Nuance is available in two versions: one designed to be used with a table, and a ‘lounge’ version- lower, wider and more welcoming. The upholstery of Nuance incorporates a subtle range of colours thanks to the careful workmanship involved in utilising fabric off-cuts. Nuance combines a strong ergonomic approach with visual appeal and the hand-made tradition of the master craftsman, giving extra value to the product as well as minimising waste.....more

Chair And Coffee Table Designed By Studio Robert Stadler

"The "Rest in Peace" series started in 2004 when I perforated the typical plastic chair (probably the most invasive piece of furniture around). The act came out of an utopic desire to accelerate the chair's vanishing. The shape of the holes are replicas of a macroscopical view of osteoporosis, so the object appears as a skeleton, a fossil found in the future. In 2008 we realized a cast-aluminium version of "Rest in Peace" as a continuation of a traditional technique used for garden furniture. But here the shapes don't appear as gentle, decoratif motifs but rather as the reflection of this very idea of dissolution."

Fleece Chairs By Tom Price

These chairs are part of a series commissioned by Arts Co for the exhibition, 'From Now to Eternity', and are made exclusively from discarded polyester fleece clothing. The seat area is created by placing layers of polyester clothing onto a hot steel seat-shaped former. As it heats, the fabric begins to melt, exposing and integrating colours and patterns of the various layers. When cooled the surface is transformed into a rigid, shiny, colourful display of dissolved pattern and colour. From Now To Eternity is a celebration of and debate around design, with a focus on one material: plastic. Plastic is with us virtually from now to eternity: impervious to bacteria, acid, salt, rust, breakage and, in some cases, able to withstand heat, plastic is something of a miracle substance. One hundred years ago, when it was first invented, no one could have anticipated that plastic would present one of our biggest recycling challenges. Pioneering arts consultancy Arts Co commissioned eight leading contemporary designers and design collectives to celebrate plastic through their work and look at ways to re-think our growing mountains of discarded waste. The designers in the exhibition show how plastic�s versatility - transparent or opaque, hard or pliant, able to take on a myriad of colours and forms � can serve their creativity. The designers are Committee, FAT, Hiroko Shiratori, Raw Edges, Rolf Sachs, Stuart Haygarth, Tom Price and Tomoko Azumi....more
