Musical chairs II

This is the second edition of the popular "musical chairs". The first one, written in october, can be read by clicking on this link:
Musical chairs 1st edition.

Here's another edition of "Musical chairs" for you! I found these gems and just had to share them with you! I'm sure some of these chairs will become classics if they are not considered classics already.
This chair is called Ray and is by Orlandi Design. Isn't she a beauty? Obviously inspired by the classical chair by Ray & Charles Eames in the 50's. So many copies have been made but I have to say that this one is my personal favorite.

Some of the different finishes of the Ray chair by Orlandi Design.This is one of the older copies of the Ray and Charles Eames chairs designed in the 50s. There are so many copies out there that I hardly know which one is the original.

This is a chair by Mooi who also do the great round lamps that I featured in "and on the first day there was light" at the begining of November.
The pebble chair by Benjamin Hubert is a great one. I love his design in general. Check out his other stuff on here.
or look at the entry I did about him in October here.
This is the Mooi clip chair.

Another playful chair that I like very much is Gus by design group. http://www.gusdesigngroup.com/

This is a cute playful chair by a group of young swedish designers Fagerström & Abraham. This chair is called Braid. They just graduated from uni in 2006 but have already gotten quite a lot of recognition. And rightfully so! Check out their stuff at: http://www.fagerabraham.se/

Vigo Russel _ Pinch bookshelf. The composition of these boxes works really well together. A trend I have been seeing lately is in fact this stacking of boxes.
MDF _ random
By attaching the bottom book to the L it looks as if the books are magically attached to the wall.

Featured once before.. The bookshelf "foundation" by Hubert.
I saw this bookshelf for the first time looking through a magazine when I was at the dentists. This is "Nova" sold at Bolia in Sweden.


Muuto has a nice collection and one of my favorite items is their bookshelf "stack".

A more well-known bookshelf from Ikea. This is "expedit". They also have a collection of boxes that one can combine.

Benjamin Hubert

I have a sort of love for concrete and I recently discovered this young designer (born 1984..) who has already made quite a name for himself. Looking through the pictures on his homepage I realised that I was already familiar with several items that he's designed. I just love his "heavy lights" made out of concrete and also his "float" lights made out of cork. I love the industrial look of the concrete and in general I am loving all the new ways that concrete is being used nowadays. I wish I had a workroom where I could make my own forms and start playing around with some designs of my own! The cork lights give a great warm feeling. His furniture is also very impressive. I actually did a scetch for a coathanger very simular to his "Splay" (maybe that's why I like to so much!). The little bowl with the indent for the spoon is very sweet as well as his soft rubber chairs. It's available in a variety of playful colours. There's also a stool to go with it.
