This ‘Leather & Plastic Chair’ is a classic. Front Design added the black leather seat to a standard white plastic chair, the original classic. Available at Vlaemsch().

This chair called Myto was designed by Konstantin Grcic for the Italian furniture brand Plank. The chair is made of a new engineered plastic with an extreme flowability; you can see more development pictures like this one side of the mold at the designboom weblog.

EDIT:
designboom posted a gallery with a lot more making of pictures, go and check them out here.

Plastic cup holder
Using disposable cups is common in hotels. Extending their function to a more specified and dignified level is my comment for a more playful way of living. Everyday Sunday is a plastic cup holder, which customizes a plastic cup for different situations by creating an illusion of authenticity.
