Design studio Nendo has crafted a unique sofa system for KOKUYO , complete with high backs, that gives individuals and groups a place for privacy in an office environment. Named Brackets , the seating is meant to “bracket” whoever is sitting, like parentheses. Watch the video for the different variations: There are seven sofa modules and four table types so users can customize to their liking and needs, but also arrange to suit the space.

The V&A was bursting at the seams with installations for London Design Festival 2012. Here are three of the best – nendo’s Mimicry Chairs, Bench Years from Established & Sons and Ice Angel by Dominic Harris. nendo’s Mimicry chairs are ghost-like installations throughout the museum that reflect their surroundings. The top image shows a single chair hanging in the main entrance - a reference to the massive Dale Chihuly chandelier hanging in the next space. Elsewhere in the museum chairs “walk” down stairs or follow the lift traveling up and down between floors.

Nendo is on fire . Their new Scatter Shelf will be presented at the Carpenter’s Workshop Gallery in London during the Frieze Art Fair , and then at Friedman Benda in New York. The shelf is composed of 5mm black acrylic formed into a grid and stacked in layers. They describe the shelf beautifully when they say that it looks as though objects are “caught in a spider’s web when viewed from the front.” Also, when one passes behind, it creates a kaleidoscope-like effect.
