Osso is a new series of chairs designed by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec for the Italian brand Mattiazzi. The chairs are made of oak, maple or ash, but it’s their production process that I find interesting. The pieces are milled by a digitally controlled CNC machine. This is probably one of the few ways to produce this design on a larger scale.

Ausgebrannt is a series of stools and low tables by Kasper Hamacher. I actually don’t really like them, but the production process looks like fun. By the way, ausgebrannt is German for burnt out.

Dominic Wilcox his latest project is “Do Not Touch Chair”, it’s his version of a ‘buzz wire’ game. He made a sculpture of a chair by hand bending a single length of wire. The user must navigate around the wire using a metal hoop without touching the wire. If the wire is touched then they will hear his voice warning “Do not touch”.
Last September, Dominic Wilcox did the Speed Creating project, he tried to make something creative every single day. The results are amazing. Here’re 4 of them:
Day 2: Pop Up Train Tray Surprise
Day11: Beach Ball Chair
Day 24: I remember you well – a tin foil bust of Dominic Wilcox at the age of 21.
Day 28: Inflated socks

Pressed Chair is a light, stackable metal chair stamped out of a 2.5 mm aluminium sheet. The value of the design excels in the intent of creating a piece out of one single material without any joints or connectors. Furthermore the manufacturing produces no waste material and is 100% recyclable. Designed by Harry Thaler.

Soft Wood is a series of chairs designed by Veronika Wildgruber that appear at first to be made in fabric with the soft appearance of pillows. But in reality they are sculpted in solid wood. The chairs trick the mind because the surface and texture connotes the opposite of what we think and know about the characteristics of wood.
seen at DMY Berlin 2010
At this years DMY Berlin, Daniel Lorch presented his latest project: Split Chair. It’s a combination of traditional tube bending with the newest 3D laser-technology. The result is exactly how I like it: smart and simple.
