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

Crane is a lamp designed by product and furniture design student Hyunyoung Park . The overall structure was inspired by its namesake, the crane, and is composed of a wooden body, steel tripod feet, and a steel neck. The fixture can be manually adjusted by the simple bolt and butterfly wing nut that lets the metal neck be customized to most any angle and position. The steel components are a soft green, while the textile covered cord is a darker green, both contrasting with the white socket and the natural wood of the body

1. De La Espada’s Park Ave Collection

Materials: ANEBODA Description: ANEBODA wardrobe with extra shelf, space for belts and ties, metal file dividers on top, and other MIKAEL features. Basically, I wanted to incorporate the space-saving features of the MIKAEL desk (discontinued and replaced by the inferior MICKE) into my aging, wobbly ANEBODA. This is how I did it (in about 2.5 hours), while making the ANEBODA a much more solid piece of furniture. Major components: ANEBODA – $99 FLANG – $2.99 each (I’d recommend getting 5) SPONTAN – $9.99 Hanging file frames- $6 each set (get 7 sets) at Office Depot or here for real cheap: Message board- $29 I’m using Tacktile from CB2 since I had one lying around, but it would probably look better with a cork board Brackets – $1 to $5 each depending on size/style (get 6) Shelf – $10 to $40 depending on style/etc 1. If your wardrobe is as old as mine, no doubt the back has already fallen off (or is just hanging by a thread).
