Designed by Pod Design principal designer Brooks Atwood, the Sylki Chair is made from super thin metal making it weigh in at just 8 lbs. Using just a single sheet of 100% recycled metal limits the amount of waste produced while also reducing the number of welds that go into the chair.

A few years ago, Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola designed a collection of rugs for Gandia Blasco called Mangas that were various patterns patchworked together into different shapes. Now she’s expanded on the collection with Mangas Space , a series of modular seating pieces and rugs that can be mixed up in a multitude of arrangements. Much like the rugs, they look like large knitted sweaters in a menagerie of patterns, textures, and colors that make you want to curl up and get cozy. The collection features seating modules, square and rectangular poufs, large and small rectangular rugs, and square rugs. The collection is being presented at Maison&Objet in Paris from January 18th – 22nd, 2013.

Inspired by flower stems, Giorgio Biscaro designed these colorful glass vases with interior “stems” that serve to hold the roots. Made of glass in a simple cylidrical shape, each vase holds a colorful, root-shaped vase inside made of blown borosilicate glass. They’re reversible in the sense that you can flip one over and use the single stem for a solitary flower, or turn it upside down and place flowers around the colorful center. The Roots Vases can be bought in Milan at the Design Gallery Luisa Delle Piane . Photo by Andrea Basile Studio

If you spend any amount of time stuck behind a desk, chances are you’ve put a lot of thought into what kind of chair you’re sitting in, whether it’s because you love the one you have or it’s horribly uncomfortable and you need a new one (that would be me). Luckily there are companies like Teknion that have your back, quite literally, with office chairs like their latest, the Responsive Back Technology (RBT) Task Chair . This chair not only supports the user’s back, it actually resembles it by looking like a rib cage or spinal column. Its goal is to encourage proper posture by actually conforming to the user’s back. As someone who looks like their head is close to their desktop by day’s end from sitting too long with no support, it’s nice to know that there’s a chair that continues to adjust to your back all day in hopes of keeping your posture where it’s supposed to be

Designer Sven Dogs created a line of outdoor furniture called Fiji for German manufacturer Villa tectona . The woven collection is offset with turquoise blue cushions that reference the ocean, making me wish I was lounging in Fiji right now.

The all-wood Nerd chair , designed by David Geckeler , was the winner of the 2012 Muuto Talent Award, and is thus being produced by Muuto , the Copenhagen-based company known for cool, new Nordic designs. German-born Geckeler, who studied industrial design in Berlin and Copenhagen, focuses on furniture, interior, tableware, and lighting. His cites his driving principles, which are apparent in the Nerd, as “simplicity, detail-orientation, and a pinch of courageous design language.” He treats us to his process in this month’s Deconstruction
