Designed by Louisa Kwan, the Loopie is an interesting modular seating arrangement. Inspired by observations of people within waiting rooms, Louisa Kwan designed Loopie to be a flexible way to sit. The unique design of Loopie allows people to sit facign whichever way they please. Little ones can even crawl through it – provided they can fit!
Made of soft foam, the Loopie is plush and comfortable to rest upon. Drawing from its original inspiration, the Loopie is perfect for waiting rooms and lobbies of any kind, from a doctor’s office to a hotel lobby. Our only suggestion is to be careful getting loopy on the Loopie – you don’t want to fall off!
Where would you put the Loopie in your home or commercial space?

We just mentioned that everyone is chicken crazy . Chickens aren’t cuddly. They won’t sit in your lap (or at least I wouldn’t try). But, they’re reliable, produce eggs for food and are actually quite good pets

Designed by Harry Thaler, a goldsmith studying design in London, England, the Pressed Chair is as light as a feather. In fact, this chair is so incredibly light that it can be held with just one finger! Made of a single sheet of 2.5 mm aluminum, the Pressed Chair receives its strength from the decorative indents pressed into the chair.
The minimal materials used in the Pressed Chair make it environmentally friendly; it is 100% recyclable and produces no waste throughout the manufacturing process. On Harry Thaler’s website, it is written about the Pressed Chair that the “value of design excels in the intent of creating a piece out of one single material without any joints or connectors.”
Thaler’s goldsmith background has led him from jewelry design to furniture and interior design. To see more of his work, visit his website at http://www.harrythaler.it/.
