Yaarit Mechany is a designer from Israel whose first solo exhibition Lucid Dream is now at the Periscope Gallery in Tel Aviv through Saturday 5/28. In this show, Yaarit explores the idea of a lucid dream — a dream wherein the dreamer is aware that he/she is dreaming, and some can even control their dreams. In Yaarit’s body of work, the lucid dream “expresses a desire to bring together two separate human modes

New York-based designer Jonas Damon takes a hybrid approach to his work. By day, he’s Creative Director at frog , where he and his team help the world’s leading companies, such as GE, Intel, Comcast, and TouchTunes bring innovative products and experiences to market. In his spare time, he collaborates with small manufacturers such as Areaware and Roll & Hill on highly personal and experimental objects. Take, for instance, his witty analog iPhone, iPod, and iPad docks , which not only reference but also elegantly romanticize old-school alarm clocks and the bulky TV sets of decades past

The WAFFT series by Tani-Matsumura (Takaaki Tani and Kazunori Matsumura) consists of a table and a stool. The theme of the furniture is “waft.” Made of plywood that is a hybrid between aluminum and beech wood, the flexible thin material that is strong enough to support the weight. The airy twisting of the legs also makes it look like “a leaf dancing in the air.” Photos by Kenta Hasegawa.

Materials: TULLERO, power drill, circular saw, 90 degree clamps, bar clamps Description: I used some of the spare parts to rebuild one of the sets. As I was trying to stuff the remaining wreckage into a trashcan, I noticed how much (mostly) intact lumber I had left. So a few hours and a lot of sweat later, I had an outdoor coffee table. I had previously painted the chairs and bench due to some ugly sun/water damage on the wood, the table had not had any major work done – all the blue pieces were once part of the chairs or bench, and the brown were once a table. The whole thing will be polyurethane coated to showcase the weathering of the wood and paint as well as some damage from the tree.

The Construction Chair and Composition Chair are two ornate metal modern chairs, both designed using unique techniques.
Shown above is the Construction Chair, a chair made completely of copper. 481 .5 mm thick copper square pillars were first stacked very precisely before being soldered in place.
The Composition Chair is handmade by designer Kouichi Okamoto of Kyouei Design. The chair took over six months to complete due to an intricate process in which no bolts or welding is used. The only tools used are a jig and pliers to bend thin aluminum wire into the awesome Construction Chair.
Both the Composition Chair and the Construction Chair are from Kyouei Design, of which Kouichi Okamoto is the CEO.
Kyouei Design is a Japanese product and lighting design and maunfacturing company that was founded in 2006.

Last year I did a roundup of my favorite press pieces from ICFF . This year, sadly, I only have one to share, but it’s a doozie. Shapeways , the 3D-printing company, showed off their skills with this USB press kit
