The Meltdown Chair proves that having a meltdown isn’t always a bad thing.
Designed by Tom Price, a London-based designer, the Meltdown is made from blue polypropylene rope. The seat within the rope is created with a seat-shaped former that is heated and pressed into a bale of the blue rope. The heat causes the rope to liquify and then as it cools, it sets into the shape of a seat.
Above is the Meltdown weaved together in a bench arrangement. The Meltdown is made in other varieties besides the blue polypropylene rope, in materials such as cable ties, PVC hose, plumbing tubes, polypropylene sheets, and fleece! Head over to designer Tom Price’s website to take a look at the other Meltdown varieties.
What are your thoughts on the Meltdown?

Relax with a cup of coffee on the modern Coffee Bench. Designed by Karolina Tylka, the Coffee Bench has adjustable pieces to create armrests or a table top within the bench. This is possible from the rotating elements of the bench. It was designed around the idea of having a cup of coffee with no place to rest the cup or newspaper.
The Coffee Bench is produced in Poland. The frame is made from galvanized or stainless steel while the bench can be made in a variety of materials such as plywood, MDF, cellulose, honeycomb cardboard or injection-molded plastic.

Since the Winter season brings a lot of sniffles, why not put tissues on display without sacrificing style? Paper Pots allow you to do just that.
Made of durable ABS, the Paper Pot enables you to store tissues in a fashionable way. As shown below, Paper Pots are available in a variety of bright, glossy colors, or in a matte black.

The Leather Lampshades enable you to figuratively brighten your life while literally brightening up someone else’s. This is due to designer Pepe Heykoop’s collaboration with The Tiny Miracles Foundation. The Leather Lampshades are designed by 20 mothers living in Mumbai, India. Every Lampshade that is sold brings a donation of one month’s fees to a private English school so that the daughters of the 20 mothers can attend. Isn’t that inspirational?
Each of the Leather Lampshades are made from soft lambskin. Their shape is designed to replicate old industrial lamps. As seen in the two images, they are available in two different styles: vertical and horizontal.
To learn more about Leather Lampshades, Pepe Heykoop and the women and children that benefit from their purchase, check out Heykoop’s website at http://www.pepeheykoop.nl.

Sometimes we need things spelled out for us…other times we just like the way it looks! Seems like both are the case with this Alphabet Furniture from Set26. These oversized letters are available in six different colors: blue, grey, red, yellow, silver and white.
As you can see, they can be used in both residential or commercial settings. They send a message so that visitors know where certain things are, as displayed in the INFO set. Something like DRINK is a great marketing message that encourages customers to keep doing a certain action.
In residential settings, the Alphabet Furniture is an awesome way to personalize a space, perhaps with a name, rather than KID! With shelving space on the back of each letter, they’re a clever way to stay organized while adding some personalized style.
Set26’s website has a configurator that enables you to write out words in the Alphabet Furniture in their six available colors. Check that out here.
What do you think about the Set26 Alphabet Furniture?
