Boompjes is a bas-relief made with reclaimed timber by Ron van der Ende. I just love his work.

“Mushrooms Ate My Furniture” is piece of garden furniture designed by Shinwei Rhoda Yen. The outer side of the stool is made of the hard-wood larch, the bark on the inner side is birch or pine embedded with mushrooms’ spawn. After some time the mushrooms will grow and degrade the wood. Eventually the stool will fall apart, the mushrooms ate it.

The Broken Arm Chair by George Dubinsky is definitely one of the funniest design objects I’ve seen in a while.

100% Wood, a bench designed by Sam Baron.

The “BLUR Collection” by Big-Game is one of the better design projects I’ve seen lately. The vases are so high that the flowers disappear almost completely into them, only their colored shadow appear through the frosted glass. The tables and mirrors are silkscreened with a gradient. Your reflection disappears towards to bottom of the mirror. The tables look like they are up in the clouds. Nice work!

Stefan Diez will present his new chair family called Houdini in Milan this week. They come in a side chair and a chair wirth armrest version. The chairs are made of 4mm thin oak-veneered plywood, which is glued to a milled solid wood ring. Personaly I like the side chair the most, it has simple shape with some distinct lines.
They will be avaible from e15 in natural oak, black, white and grey lacquer finishes as well as custom colours.

Crushed Cayenne by Folke Köbberling und Martin Kaltwasser.

The work “Crushed Cayenne” is a cynical answer to the hedonistic consum and lifestyle in the 21th century. Build out of found material “Crushed Cayenne” is a one to one model of a crushed SUV (sport utility vehicle).
These cars become more and more popular in the last years, and almost each car producer has developed it’s own SUV , although they use a lot more petrol and space and produces more co2 output than “normal” cars.

I guess everyone is fed up with this years winter by now. Who wouldn’t like to live in the Floating Roof House by Tezuka Architects? That would be the ideal place to enjoy a nice spring / summer day.
