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!

Hey, Let’s Build 11 Music Boxes Into a Chair Just Because [Video]

I’m not saying this chair—complete with its 11 fully functioning music boxes—isn’t cool (because it definitely is). But it’s tough to argue this thing isn’t the definition of random (because it definitely is). More »

Limitless Modular Storage

Container is a modular system that, unlike stationary sideboards, offers users a customizable storage solution that conforms to any unique space, becoming a dresser, media cabinet, tv stand, or anything else imaginable. The solid elm base acts as a “landing dock” for the MDF containers that can be stacked, interchanged, or removed altogether, adapting to the user’s needs. The modularity of the structure is further highlighted by the application of varying materials & finishes on each unique storage compartment.

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 href="http://stellar.mercerunion.org/" >Stellar Living 2011 Contemporary Art & Design Auction for Mercer Union in Toronto, Ontario.

Succession Furniture Collection

The eccentric pieces in this new upholstered furniture collection by href="http://www.yankodesign.com/?s="Fredrik+Frg"&x=0&y=0&lang=en" >Fredrik Farg stimulate the imagination with their animal-like form and feeling of movement. The textile and leather shelving and stools even have all the markings of a beast of burden. Individual pieces are bound in rope, heated, and then cut loose to produce a seamless pattern that is as harsh as it is civilized. According to Farg, they’ve become the family he “never knew he had.”
