Swiss architects Studioforma are no stranger to the furniture and product design world . They have quite a bit of furniture designs, but their new Arachnide chair took me by surprise. With its long insect-like legs, I knew it was spider-inspired before I even knew its name. Besides the spider-like silhouette, the contrast in materials—smoked oak and aluminium—were also a major inspiration in its design and achieving the desired effect

The Craft of Thread Wrapping by Anton Alvarez

Swedish-Chilean designer, who happens to be based in London and Stockholm, Anton Alvarez has developed a line, and technique, that wraps various materials with thread to form objects. The line of furniture consists of wood components that are joined together with only a glue-coated thread, no nails or screws. Along the way he built the Thread Wrapping Machine , which helps produce the line while still relying on a hands-on technique that results in this new craft, the Craft of Thread Wrapping . Using this building method on materials like wood, plastic, or steel, new objects can be formed and constructed, all without relying on traditional joinery methods
