Skull Armchair Designer | Harold Sangouard from France Skull armchair is an ominously powerful looking piece of furniture by Harold Sangouard, aka Harow, which seems fit for anyone interested in comfort as they plot sinister moves. Somewhere between sculptural art and functioning furniture, the armchair is a seat that is as much a cushioned resting point as it is a spectacle to be admired.

Creek Armchair Designer | Sandro Lopez from Britain The Creek armchair is born from a research in fabrication techniques aimed at achieving new performances from an ancient material, beech wood. Today's context of production in parallel with the advent of digital fabrication, allows us to develop techniques towards closing the gap between the traditional world of woodworking and the contemporary reality of the digital, redefining the aesthetic language of our epoch.

Tiles Chair Designer | Jonas Søndergaard Nielsen from Denmark Take a little bit of Eames and mix it with a handful of Harlequin and you’ve got yourself a Tiles chair. This innovative design is the fruit of rethinking fabric furniture. Each section is hinged together by a strong fabric as part of its construction. The unique structure gives the chair a flexibility which allows it to adapt gently to the user's back.

It is a combination of minimalist Danish design with international wooden modernism.

Armin Designer | Dorothee Mainka from Germany The armchair is inspired of the homeliness and “retreat cave” feeling. Armin gives you a sense of protection; it is soft, pleasant and comfortable. It creates your own intimacy & private space, your own throne. It gives pride and strength. The shape grows out of a concave curve at the right side to a convex curve or wave in the left side. The soft-felt weaving structure hides the metal construction.

Bell Designer | Tom Dixon from Britain An exercise in reductionism, Bell is a dome suspended over a dome formed of chrome plated pressed steel.

Nebbessa Design Studio | Nuvist from Turkey Nebbessa table has been also inspired by wave formations. Fluidity represents with sometimes strong powerful and sometimes solid lightness lines. Who needs four legs if it works and it is ergonomic with one leg. Nebbessa’s dynamic continuous geometric form stays live in the forces of wave motion like floats above the ground for all spaces which are modern or classic.

Manta Chair Designer | Hakan GĂźrsu Design Studio | Designnobis from Turkey Inspired by Manta fish, Manta Chair has a unique look with its elaborate lines. Combining structural elements made of wood, steel and plastics, it uses materials in harmony. The stackable chair offers a variety of colors in its transparent sitting. Using one wooden leg for the back and spine, design follows a minimalistic approach and aims for a light, simple chair.

Origami Chair Designer | Hakan Gßrsu Design Studio | Designnobis from Turkey Using delicate materials with pastel colors, Origami chair offers comfort and aesthetic pleasure. Plywood structure combined with leather upholstery upon a metal structure, folds on geometry allows for a stacking chair. Complemented with a table, it’s contemporary furniture set for bright interiors.
