HUXHUX Design is a young design studio with a growing body of work that explores minimal geometric furniture that is both sculptural and functional. Run by Harvard Architecture school grad and Parsons professor Justin Huxol, HUXHUX takes inspiration from the sculptural works of Tony Smith & Donal Judd, paying homage to reductive form making and repetitive geometries from his time working for Rem Koolhaas at OMA-Rotterdam. Nugget Hollow is an end table with a sculptural, geometric shape and a pop of color and light on the inside.

The students from the Department of Interior Architecture at Rhode Island School of Design have created a collection entitled Prototyping the Domestic Environment currently being exhibited in Milan at Salone del Mobile 2012 . The five works are interactive and multi-functional with the focus on “the formal adaptation of utilitarian furniture pieces into domestic spatial components.” Each object is not only a functioning interior piece, but they also act as adjustable devices for play, i.e., “tactile or optical sensory exploration or kinetic transformation.” The designs are well thought out, as well as being aesthetically pleasing with their geometric attributes.

Lund School of Architecture, clockwise from top left: Kim Ohrstrom, Kajsa Nillson, Christopher Polteg and Freja Elvin-Nowak Greenhouse, the hall at the Stockholm Furniture Fair for design schools, students, and independent designers, was one of the most exciting sections of the fair. Gotland University, clockwise from top left: Henke Westling (top left and top right), Philip Bergstrom and Sahar Ballaei I’ve already written about Malin Isaksson , about Grow from the University of Gothenburg , about Alcro’s collaboration with students from Beckmans College of Design and about New Bacon , the super-styled stand from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design , but that by no means covers the prolific selection of student work on show. I shall therefore attempt to do justice to what remains, most of which was found within Greenhouse, but some of which was tucked away in different parts of the show. Clockwise from top left: Essi Similia from Aalto University part of the MA Students’ Everyday Tools stand; Sandra Cohen Callman from Beckmans College of Design part of the Never Mind The Object stand; Gaspar Gonzalez and Mikael Axelsson, also Beckmans College of Design Never Mind the Object from Beckmans School of Design asked “Why should you care about objects

Marte Haverkamp graduated last year from School of the Arts Utrecht, Netherlands and her graduation project, Shadow Construction. She explains, “I have been fascinated by shadows for a long time and I wanted to do something with that. By capturing shadows of different objects and then materializing them, I came onto new objects. Objects with a high level of recognition that make you look twice.” Now, she’s interested in exploring these conceptual objects further, giving them more practical function

Sina Sohrab finished this piece in her sophomore year at the Rhode Island School of Design. It’s two hand built school chairs that explore the relationships and connotations of an early childhood memory through their connection to one another. © 2010 Design Milk | Posted by Jaime in Home Furnishings | Permalink | No comments | Tweet This | Share on Facebook

Materials: 2x LACK shelving units, 2x LACK small shelf, 1x LACK large shelf, 2×3 GRUNDTAL spots and dimmer Description: The inspiration came from a trendy furniture store where they had this white furniture in front of this blue-green wall. As it was way over my budget, I had to improvise: enter the Ikea LACK shelves. 1. I used 2 LACK shelf units and 3 LACK shelves and a number of MDF panels. 2.
