Flat-Pack Wooden Seat
A deceptively curvy-looking stool emerges from a single flat piece of wood like magic, the slices pre-cut in the board crisscrossing as they bend at hidden hinges. It’s a new, more creative take on the flat-pack furniture trend, producing an extra seat in an instant that’s also fun to look at.
Interactive Light Fixture Sculpture Responds to Noise
This light fixture “visualizes the emotional impact of movement,” its many plastic cones responding to noise like an organic living creature. In the presence of soothing music, it stretches and undulates, but when someone yells, it reacts with a stress response, rapidly shaking.
Negative Space Clothing Organizer
‘Berg’ by Arash Eskafi is a mountain-shaped sculpture that also offers a place to put the clothes that would normally clutter up your living space when it’s strewn on beds or couches. Suddenly, your ‘mountain of clothes’ looks less like a cleanliness problem and more like a work of art.
Savage Seating by Jay Sae Jung Oh
A jumble of multi-colored plastic objects are joined and visually blended together with a jute rope wrapping in the ‘Savage’ series by designer Jay Sae Jung Oh. Says the artist, “Most of my design inspirations are derived from an awareness of social issues like sustainability and abundant waste. Our disposable culture makes me interested in objects that people waste and treat as invaluable. I wanted to send a message that changes people’s perspective of sustainability. In the ‘Savage’ series, discarded objects are reborn as a handcrafted, functional object with high value.”
