This chair by designers Daisuke Nagatomo and Minnie Jan of Miso Soup Design is constructed out of eco-resin and CNC router. There is no production waste and no hardware is required to assemble the piece, which is always good news for people who hate to assemble furniture. via Designspotter ©2010 Design Milk | Posted by Catrina in Home Furnishings | Permalink | No comments | Tweet This | Share on Facebook Furniture – Design Milk – Facebook – Numerical control – Home

You may have seen my post about this on our Facebook last week, but I wanted to share it here in case you missed it. Cube Works! Cube Works is a group of designers that make amazing artwork out of Rubik’s cubes! Instead of solving the cubes, these talented artists use them to create surprisingly accurate and amazing looking depictions of pop icons and pop art. Amazing.

Who knew a carpet could made from wood? This wooden carpet by Elisa Strozyk changes the way we think of carpet. Attracting plenty of attention (I saw this today over at Cool Hunting), the wooden carpet was also included in the Future Map 2009 exhibit of 25 of London’s most talented emerging designers at Hoxton Square Projects.

Young Polish designers are searching their roots for guidance in their contemporary work. Polska Folk was an exhibition at Tent London last month that showcased some of the floor coverings, furniture, lighting and accessories that evolve out of tradition, such as lively felt rugs from Agnieszka Czop & Joanna Rusin, colourful lampshades from Kafti Design, slick stools from Malafor and jolly graphics from Chrum. Other designers whose work was featured include Agnieszka Lasota, Aze Dsign, Bogdan Kosak, Gogo Design, Platform and WWAA Architects.

The Hatch is an installation/pop-up eatery at the Dock designed by Studio TooGood and conceptual food designers Arabeschi di Latte. The décor pops: colourful giant building blocks covered in Formica are inspired by 20th-century art and architecture. Visitors sit on and among these sculptural elements and can also build with smaller scale blocks. The egg-themed food bar also has an element of interactivity, as diners choose from a selection of egg-based dishes and are given a “kit” with which to prepare it.
