Blue Rope, Meltdown Series Design Tom Price, UK Blue Rope Meltdown was featured in a recent exposition at the Museum of Art and Design in New York City called ‘Second Lives’. The Meltdown Series is the result of an experimental process developed by Tom Price, which uses a variety of commonplace plastic products to create a strikingly diverse collection of sculptural seating. Drawing on techniques from his background in both fine art and design, Tom Price applies new concepts of craftsmanship in an act of wilful manipulation and material inventiveness. Despite its sculptural appearance, there is a concern for functionality and comfort. The mould of the seat is based on the familiar generic shape of an Eames chair. The juxtaposition of a modernist, mass-produced shape into a hand-crafted chair reinforces its functionality. The PP Blue Rope Meltdown Chair is created by heating and

Cortica chaise longue Design Daniel Michalik, USA The beauty of Cortica is in its simplicity. Hand made in Daniel’s Brooklyn studio, this chaise longue is made completely from cork that originates as waste material from the bottle stopper industry. Cork has tremendous potential to perform in ways unlike any other material, as well as being an environmentally responsible material. It is lightweight, naturally waterproof and buoyant. (yes, it floats !) This piece shows it’s ability to bend in two directions simultaneously. The pliability of the cork allows the user of this lounge to rock gently from side to side or backward and forward with a great degree of stability. The result is a sensation of floating weightless yet totally supported. With proper care, Cortica is a piece that will last a lifetime. Care instructions are included. Material: recycled cork (cork is 100% waterproof and impervious to rot and mold growth) Dimensions: L 183cm, w 50cm (72»L x 20»W x 26» tall) Delay: 4-6 weeks
Sifel Chaise Design Caroline Corbeau, France Master metal sculptor Caroline Corbeau’s latest work pays hommage to Gustave Eiffel and his most celebrated metal wstructure- the Eiffel Tower. A work of fine laser cuts and geometric forms, Sifel is a chair with multiple facets in both its structure and the more ephemeral play of shadows it casts. Each chair is hand crafted by Caroline in her atelier outside of Paris. Though design and form have been given high priority the most important aspect of the Sifel Chaise is its function as a comfortable chair. (a place to reflect on moments in Paris perhaps ?)

Ondine bench Design Michael Bihain and Cedric Callewaert, Belgium Before being perceived as an element of furniture, this design tends to fascinate by its underlying complexity translated in a simple, strong form. Laureate of the Parck Design competition, Ondine is the fruit of a close collaboration between designer Michael Bihain and Belgian architect Cedric Callewaert. Ondine’s main concept is its capacity to subject its viewer, or user to multiple interpretations: it is both sculpture and bench. Divided into 3 identical modules, Ondine can be repositioned continuously. It offers a longitudinal seating element as well as a circular one. Its organic curves and its modularity offer a wide range of seating possibilities permitting it to continually adapt to various settings, urban, cultural and rural.

Soft Bench Design Lucile Soufflet, France Soft Bench is a bench with a familiar line which suddenly undulates and bends to propose a flexible and relaxed seating on half of its length.

Muscle bench, Urban furniture
Design Alexandre Moronnoz, France As spectacular to gaze at as it is comfortable to rest on, Muscle is a counterproposal to traditional stiff and motionless street furniture thanks to its dynamic forms and its purified lines. A piece to compliment both contemporary architectural structures or modern landscape designs. The bench offers the possibility of sitting or lying down in response to the surface’s relief. Like the fibrous structure of a muscle, the cut metal sheets work with compression and tension to maintain the rigidity of the resting platform. The smooth gun metal gray epoxy finish reflects the light and adds to the sense of lightness. As the sun passes through the metal bars, the shadows mix with the actual piece adding yet another dimension to this exceptional urban bench. Materials: steel 8mm, primary zinc epoxy powder coating Dimensions: L 400cm w 78.5cm h 54cm total weight: 450kg
Bench Design Peter Donders, Belgium The Belgian designer created this contemporary, organic piece by twisting a single string of carbon fibre around a form that was then removed.

Currently the ultimate material available in terms of weight to strength ratio, carbon fiber is used to produce Formula One race cars, the highest quality sporting equipment, as well as the chassis of space crafts. This exceptional limited edition series will be limited to 10 pieces and is suitable for both public and private spaces. Material: carbon fiber Dimensions: 300cm x 40cm x 55cm Weight: 6 kilos Delay: 4-6 weeks

Icila Chair Design Cecile Planchais, France This sleek, contemporary chair looks like the perfect accessory f or the modern home but is in fact made to withstand the abuses of public spaces. Reminiscent of the Japanese art of origami, Icila is made from a single sheet of steel, cut and folded, without welds. The extra wide seat offers a comfortable position and leaves space on either side to pose a drink, put down a bag, make room for a friend. The supple steel frame has a spring like affect which is amplified when placed on a hard surface. The solid weight and stability are a suprising paradox to the slim, elegant profile. Using the latest eco-technology the surface treatment and brilliant palette of paper white, black graphite, orange-red and varnished natural steel are produced from a vegetable base and permit both longevity and little environmental impact. Icila can be fixed in place without using cement and thus offers the option of mobility, a chair which follows the ‘life’ of its environment. Icila is easily stored and stacked during off season in its original recycled packaging, though it may of course be left outdoors year round. Icila chair, created for the 6th Biennale of Saint Etienne, France and part of the inauguration of its latest building ‘La Platine’ was recently presented at the Sustainable Luxury Fair at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.
