Brooklyn-based Uhuru launched their second line, War Craft , during ICFF earlier this year. Inspired by and built from reclaimed teak from the deck of the decommissioned USS North Carolina, the collection explores the forms of the battleship. The USS North Carolina was built in the 1930s in the Brooklyn Navy Yard and served in World War II. Decommissioned in 1947, it is to date one of the most decorated battleships in US naval history

Istanbul-based design studio Karre Design ‘s most recent release is the Rumi Armchair, designed by Turkish sculptor and designer Sadi Ozis in 1964. Forgotten for almost 50 years, the chair is now given a second life thanks to Karre. Inspired from Sufi dervishes of the Mevlevi order also known as whirling dervishes, the Rumi chair’s name comes from the Sufi mystic Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi whose teachings have become the base of the order.

The Fly Wing Flapper by Dutch industrial designer Ramon Middelkoop , who teaches product design at the Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam, is a plastic fly swatter with a lacy design that echoes the pattern of the annoying insects’ wings. While it’s certainly better looking than the typical hardware store variety of swatter, we wonder if the openings are a tad too large for an average-sized pesky housefly. Still, we applaud the effort to elevate the mundane.

Latvian designer Arthur Analts created a step ladder called Led Zeppelin (an obvious nod to Stairway to Heaven) that solves a problem – getting into corners. Led Zeppelin can be placed in three different positions: leaned straight against the wall, placed 45° against the room corner or 25° against the corner. There are also special cuts at the end of the ladder steps to hang a dusting cloth or put tools.
