An All-around Great Kids’ Chair
The EVA chair has got everything covered when it comes to children’s seating. Besides being aesthetically playful & vibrantly colored, EVA is also soft, flexible, & super durable for even the roughest horseplay. What’s more is that the flat-pack design arrives as a planar surface & is formed into shape by fastening the symmetrical halves together with string; something kids & parents can work on together. Did I mention that it’s recyclable, eco-friendly, non-toxic, & requires minimal energy to transport? Phew!

Spontaneous Design
This Log Chop Bench is a one-off piece defined by one very unconventional process (to say the least). Designers David Long & Antoine Morris avoided concrete blueprints & lent their ax, log, & minimal sketches to a professional Lumberjill (you heard me) who carved out seat spaces with surgical precision. The rough hollows were then clad in fine, hand-sewn upholstery by a motorcycle saddle maker. A little unorthodox, but pretty damn sexy.
The bench was recently auctioned at the

Shape-shifting ‘Breathing Chair’ looks to make the beanbag fashionable
Shape-shifting chairs may not always be the most attractive additions to your living room, but Taiwanese designer Yu-Ying Wu is hoping to change that with her so-called “Breathing Chair,” which has already won a few prestigious design awards but hasn’t yet snagged any commercial partners. The secret, such as it is, is the array of “professionally calculated” holes spaced out through the three layers of foam plastic, which are designed to compress into the shape of an armchair when someone sits in it and spring back into a cube when they stand up. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any video of it in action, but the chair will soon be on display at Red Dot Design Museum in Signapore if you happen to be in the area.

We already knew about painting by Windows error, but this mindbending chair at the London Design Festival looks like it was designed in the middle of a full-on Win 98 meltdown. [Core77]
