No fear – the pieces within the Brick Series are far more comfortable than actual bricks. In fact, the Brick Series is an architectural collection that mimicks the act of bricklaying, as you can see the cozy stacks of cushions. Designed by KiBiSi, their website states that the series “explores the tectonic of bricklaying to stack sandbag-like cushions into architecture for comfort.”
The Brick series, designed for Versus and available through their website, consists of a pouf, chair, armchair, two-seater and three-seater. The plush cushions with polyurethane foam are tied together with buttons made from molded fiber concrete.
KibiSi, the designers behind the Brick series, is a Copenhagen-based firm of industrial design. It was started by three partners each with a different specialty. The Ki in KiBiSi comes from Lars Holme Larsen of Kilo Design, the Bi from Bjarke Ingels of BIG Architecture and Jens Martin Skibsted of Skibsted Ideation. For more information, check out their website: http://www.kibisi.com.

Petar Zaharinov is an architect from Sofia, Bulgaria who created these puzzle tables called 1
January 13th, 2011 — Designer Stuff
Materials: 5 Gorm 1'x3' shelves, hand saw, mallet, workbench vise, electric screw driver, 14 drywall screws, 4 'dowel' screws, 2 wall anchor screws, wood glue
Description: Shelf Your Recyclable Cardboard… with this quick, fun project: Storage and binding station for your pantry, mud room, or garage.
Assembly time was about 2 hours:
1) Set aside (intact) 4 of the 5 Gorm 1'x3' shelves.
2) Using a workbench vise (or a work table and a clamp) with a hand saw, cut off 1 of the 3 slats that make up a 1'x3' Gorm shelf section. Do this as follows.. this the only challenging part of this project!:
a)clamp down the shelf so that a 1' long edge is on horizontal to you and on top, and the 3' sides are vertical. b) Refer to the attached pictures (”Gorm 1ftx3ft shelf.jpg” and “Cardboard recycler_Side view.jpg”)
You will be cutting the L-shaped molded edge piece and not the slat itself: Locate the first 'gap' between the slat you are removing and the middle slat. c) now angle the hand saw blade so that you are cutting the L-shaped molded edge from against the slat you are 'keeping' outward to up against the middle slat. d) Turn over and clamp down the 1'x3' Gorm shelf section and do the same cut to the other L-shaped molded edge on the other side — but make sure to have the angle of the saw blade and the cut itself match the direction of the cut done in able step c. That done.. the 'difficult' part of the project is complete!

Sergey Makhno and Butenko Vasiliy designed this office for a client whose company produces design accessories. Therefore, the client wanted the office space to directly reflect his business. The walls are covered in wood and Corian. The space consists of a meeting space, presentation area, terrace, restrooms and storage. I think working in a space such as this would definitely spark my creativity.
