If you have been enjoying the flowers blooming in your garden, you will definitely like Tokujin Yoshioka’s Bouquet Chairs. The designer says his chair “makes people who sit on it happy, just as a bouquet makes the person who receives it happy. The vibrant delicate colors trigger different sensations in each of us.” Indeed. Seating on one of his amazing chairs will remind you of being outdoors in a pretty garden.

 

 

His floral seating consists of  hundreds of Alcantara fabric “petals” which provide plenty of color against the lacquered steel base. Each is hand folded from a textile square and are are assembled by hand - this  explains the hefty price tag of about € 6,000 or $7,800.  You can get them through Moroso.

 

Large blank wall?  No problem. Fill them with shelves so you can artfully display and store your things. But if you could also rearrange shelves without having to remove and reinstall the units all the better. Sebastian Errazuriz’s clever Repisa N5 allows you to do just that because you can  bring down selected parts of the shelving unit. Change your mind? Just move them back up and pick another section. Or if you’re a pack rat,  flip all the shelves down for maximum use.

 

 

 

Designed by James Ian Killinger, a 2008 graduate of Iowa State University’s College of Design the Kersplat Coffee Table is a pure example of creativity. A piece of furniture so simple, but so original, guaranteed to get attention. Now here are a few words about this coffee table from James : “A liquid’s life is an ephemeral one. Its molecular structure determines that its movements are transient and fleeting—chaotic, yet bound by the laws of physics. There is a simple elegance to the moment liquid collides with a denser surface. I wanted to hold onto that moment a little longer.Capture it. Examine it.B elieve it or not, this piece was actually crafted out of poplar wood. After shaping the individual “splatters tendrils,” they were joined to a base and the piece was finessed further. Ensuring that each of the four contact splatters were level and even was paramount. The table was then painted in a high gloss red and topped off by a custom cut piece of glass.”
