Studio YOY ‘Canvas’
April 17, 2013 | posted in Art, Design, Furniture | by Ilja Keizer | Leave a comment
Love this line of artworks slash furniture by Japanese design studio YOY called ‘Canvas’. What seems to be printed canvasses, are really frameworks covered with elastic fabrics that change into sofas when leaning into them. Great, although the pictures could have been a little more exciting… _ _ _

Marc Sparfel makes the most amazing sculptures out of discarded wooden furniture pieces like chairs and hat stands. Searching the streets for the left overs, he brings them to his workshop, and transforms them into graceful new animal forms. _ _ _ _ _ _

Great re-designed line of furniture by French designer Adrien Petrucci. For the project, Adrien uses everyday pieces of wooden furniture, and changes the not so unique form into amazing new handmade designs. ‘My process transforms the object from serial and anonymous to unique and intimate. With this gesture, I introduce human deviance within the inert[...]

Great series by documentary photographer Erik Klein Wolterink, showing the insides of Amsterdam kitchens. The works were made in commission of the Amsterdam Fund for the Arts and the City Archives. Very interesting to see the insides of the kitchen and the things stocked in cupboards, ovens and fridges, instead of the same old boring usual interior[...]
Bina Baitel ‘Tarah’
May 12, 2012 | posted in Design, Furniture | by Ilja Keizer | Leave a comment
Love the design of this piece of furniture by Bina Baitel, which’s name refers to the verb “Tarah” in Arabic, which means “to throw down” and is derived from “matrah” which became the French word for “mattress”. It almost looks like some organism, alien-like creature with huge tongue. Dunno if it’s all too handy in[...]

While both artists are inspired by the tension between the known and the unknown they create furniture out of sheer necessity and[...]

A great line of chairs and sofas, that look like they have grown organically somewhere outta space, rather than having been manufactured by hand. Belgian designer Maarten de Ceulaer‘s latest line of furniture is called ‘Mutation Series’ and is made of pieces of foam coated with a durable rubber or tactile velvet-like finish. Every piece has[...]

‘The Pages Chair’ is designed by the Japanese design company Studio 6474 and is inspired by the turning pages of books. The simple concept of turning a couple of pages to create and adjust the back of the chair is just great. More info here on the company’s website. _
