We have a clue about Furniture

Designed by Polish designer and engineer Oskar Zieta, the Plopp Stool looks like the inflatable furniture we’re used to, but it’s not. Available in three different sizes, the Plopp Stool is made from inflated metal. The metal is inflated using a process called FIDU, or free inner pressure deformation, created by Zieta himself. Two ultra thin steel sheets are welded together and then inflated under high pressure.

Although they look light, the Plopp Stools are strong and sturdy. As mentioned before, there are three sizes in the Plopp Family: the Mini Plopp, the Standard Plopp and the Kitchen Plopp. All are available in a variety of fun colors.

What do you think of the Plopp Stools?

Materials: Besta, Varna, Stolmen components Description: This is the first in a series of sculpture/furniture pieces that are based on the architecture of Walter Gropius, the founder of the Bauhaus. Specifically, I am making IKEA models of all eight mid-century Modern Gropius buildings that are currently being demolished by the City of Chicago. This piece is based on the 1953 Power Plant (pix, right).

Sam Baron designed these Philippe I tables for Casamania — the evolution of their Marie Antoinette Pop Collection, presented by Casamania in 2009. The tables are made of a combination of lacquered MDF with rich walnut. To me, the legs look like ballerinas delicately balancing on their toes, and overall, the table grouping reminds me a bit of chess pieces…seems kind of an unlikely combination. © 2010 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Home Furnishings | Permalink | No comments | Tweet This | Share on Facebook

I saw Megan Vaeth’s Papillon chair at ICFF and was blown away by how delicate yet strong it was. © 2010 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Home Furnishings | Permalink | No comments | Tweet This | Share on Facebook

The Gear Table by Ryan Matchett of Ryan Matchett Design House was manufactured for a hotel in Rowanda. It consists of a mirror polish stainless steel base with adjustable rubber feet to allow for leveling on an uneven surface. Ryan explains that the top was a little trickier. First a hexagon shape was CNC cut from MDF and then segments of Walnut were attached to achieve a round shape. The gear pattern was then CNC cut and a walnut veneer was applied to obtain the overall appearance.

A transcendental love for the industrial appeal of concrete is easily exemplified with the Concrete Wallpaper. Designed by Norwegian photographer Tom Haga, each set of wallpaper is taken from high resolution photography, so that the pattern is never repeated.

Washable and UV resistant, Tom Haga’s wallpaper is available in more than just concrete patterns. Haga offers many patterns of concrete, but also has wallpaper of brick walls and bright-colored graffiti. Rolls are offered in widths of 2-feet or 4-feet and heights as high as 25 meters, which is about 82 feet. It can also be cut to size, if needed.

The Concrete Wallpaper would look great in homes, retail stores, offices and even hotels. I also like the brick pattern for a fun city apartment. What do you think about the Concrete Wallpaper? Which pattern is your favorite?

The W101 Lamp: a paper desk light. Like a paper lantern, but better.

Designed by Swedish architects Claesson Koivisto Rune for the Swedish lighting company Wästberg, the W101 Lamp is innovative and contemporary. Made of renewable materials, the W101 Lamp is created using DuraPulp, a combination of wood pulp and starch. Previously, the architects designed a chair out of DuraPulp but wanted to challenge themselves by combining light, electricity and paper all in one with the W101 Lamp.

In a press release, Magnus Wästberg, founder and CEO of Wästberg says: “Paper has been used throughout history for making lamp shades. Now we are using paper for the actual structure of the fixture adding advanced LED technology.”

The Cuppa Luck tea set is the concept of recent graduate from The University of Brighton 3D Design course, Jo Westrop . The set features an opaque, silver scratch-off coating which, if removed, reveals an unknown and randomly decided identity that combines an eclectic range of surface patterns inspired by the contrasts in British visual culture. Jo’s current work utilizes chance as a means to escape the confines of “safe” modernist design through anti-rationality, non-conformance to trends and the encouragement of risk-taking

While at ICFF, Fletcher Cameron’s screens and lights caught my eye. There was something fun and modern, even mid-century modern about them that I really enjoyed. Fletcher Cameron is primarily a kitchen design firm, so I was surprised to see these
