Innovative Furniture

This post is for myself~ So much easier for me to reference if I gather all the interesting designs and post it on my blog but I also love sharing all these wonderful designs with my dear friends~ Hope you guys will love them and enjoy them as much as I do!!

Sheetseat


Sheetseat is a folding chair cut from a single sheet of plywood designed by Ufuk Keskin and Efecem Kutuk. It has a thickness of 3/4" when collapsed. This simple innovation in flat-pack seating allows for storage and transportation in even the tightest of spaces. It's easy manufacturing process minimizes use of energy and labor during production.

Comb


Comb is a flat-fold chair concept where partitioned pieces rise from a single surface in order to form the seat and the front legs. Flat-fold feature makes the chair easy to stack and transport in large quantities. It is still a work in progress.

Feel Seating System

                        

Feel Seating System is designed by Animi Causa. The shape is inspired by a molecular structure, the basic form for all objects is the universe. It is made of 120 sofa balls covered with elastic fabric. The structure allows you to arrange it in multiple forms.

FlexibleLove

                      
                                       
                                          

Incorporating an ‘accordion-like, honeycomb’ structure, the FlexibleLove Virgin by Chishen Chiu could accommodate a seating for 8 to 16 people at one time. It is made of recycled materials like the recycled paper, recycled wood waste, etc. When given a simple pull at each end, the furniture could be easily transformed into a semicircular or a circular-shaped seating to hold as many as 16 people. But when folded up, it measures merely one tenths of that.

Kenchikukagu mobile furniture

                             

The Kenchikukagu is designed for work, sleep and eating. Designed by Atelier OPA from Japan, the Kenchikukagu series includes a mobile work station, mobile bed and a mobile kitchen.

"More"

                               

                                           

                                 

The “More” by Italian designer, Giorgio Caporaso is a bookshelf, a table, seating and lots “more”! This extremely versatile set of modular furniture performs multiple functions quite efficiently. It enables the user to create furniture of various shapes and dimensions. Its a response to everyday life that demands an enduring flexibility of spaces and adaptability of furniture.

"Kure"



“Kure” (also known as ’sphere’ in Turkish) is a futuristic concept table designed in the shape of a flower for your family dinning room. This table is shaped as a sphere when closed and once you open, it can occupy any corner of the house. A light source is fitted in the centre of the table which offers a blue light to the base of the table.
 
Scribble Furniture

This year’s most innovative furniture designs come from 4 Swedish women called Frontdesign, who introduce a technology of scribbling furniture in the air by motion capturing: Cameras are tracking your brushstroke-like movements, a special software then combines the data to a whole 3D object in the computer. Thanks to a procedure called rapid prototyping they magically produce a real object, like a table or a chair. They can manufacture pretty much anything that looks as curvy and dynamic as your scribbled version.

Pick Up Chairs
                              

These innovative chairs are designed by Studio Dror, they can be easily put away on walls, I love that they can work as art fixtures as well as for practical use.

Marcel Wonders Knotted Chair


A creation of Marcel Wanders the Knotted Chair , you can almost believe that it can stand on its own just because the supporting structure is so well hidden. The legs have a tent rope look.

Ghost Chair by Drift

Ghost Collection are plexiglass chairs that have ghost-like forms inside them, created with laser technology.
The ghost is a futuristic concept of a chair, 3-dimensionally captured within the boundaries of reality. It gives you a bit of a dramatic feeling: unbelievable, high-tech, but beautiful.
 
Wall Furniture by Buro Jet


Buro Jet designed those very innovating pieces of furniture which looks paintwork and are convertible into compact desk.

T.R.U.S.T

When I was young, I always envied my mom for being an adult. To me, being an adult means I need not study, get caning for not studying, no more tuitions & most importantly Freedom. She tell me how silly I am and that I should treasure my childhood (hm... not really sure whether I had one) bcse when I am an adult I will want to be a child again. Like usual, I will brush her off. Once Again, she is so right. She is always right.

Being a child, all I had to care about was finishing my homeworks, attend all my tuitions and get good results. Now, even before I start my own family, before all the financial worries, just relationship itself is capable of drowning me. I always consider myself as a depressing person, when I was young I would always climb onto the ledge of my window just staring at the view below and thking what it feels like to jump. (Luckily my parents always keep the window grill locked and than lock up the keys) In order to have my own private space to think things through and not let anyone find me, I would draw the curtain, close the window (the sequence goes backwards bcse I am on the outside) and just sit there hugging my legs, rocking back and forth. Now, my make-up is the most important thing in the world. It works as a mask for me to face the world and continue leading my life. Once I put on my make-up I become the bubbly, chatty, happy-go-lucky Gal. Recently, my nights are getting so bad that its affecting my daily life. When I am in bed, all is dark and quiet, my tears will fall, my chest aches. Normally, I am well controlled when it comes to crying but this time my tears seems to be over powering me.

Tears flow till dawn, with the swollen eyes and the haggard face it is impossible for me to go to school. I motivate myself to work on my assignments and research but not being able to attend school does affect the quality of my work. By the time I finally fall asleep it would be 9 plus in the morning and I will be haunted by nightmares. This week I allowed myself to hide from the world, to pick up pieces of my soul and lead a normal life. I came to Australia to study and that will always be the piority. I always have to remind myself that I have to be logical and not emotional. Set my piorities right.... I have no time for tears. Its 5.30am right now, I hvnt shed a single tear (might be bcse I am not in bed and all the lights and tv is on) but I feel like there is an improvement. I am confident in saying I will be able to put on my make-up and walk out of the front door when the sun is out. I will survive. Shall take some beautiful pictures later on in the day.

Some of you must be thking WAT!! nothing abt trust and she dare to name this post T.R.U.S.T.
Trust is something really special, it is the foundation in every commited relationships. It takes a long time to build-up the trust between two people and the trust that is maintained can be betrayed in matter of secs. How can we instill trust and confidence in a person that has already betrayed your trust?

I Need Some Motivation!

Its 12am right now... I know I am suppose to be spending my time doing research and coming up with ideas BUT... I am not doing it! Y!! bcse I am not motivated right now... So.... Decided to write this post to motivate myself Heh Heh Heh.... Blogging DOES NOT motivate me but what I am going to post up here will~~~

I know many of you hate your jobs but manage to motivate yourself by aiming at a product or item that you really really like and wod buy them when payday comes~ Well... I do the same thg so I went to Chanel & Dior's Website to look at some of their wonderful items; as long as I work hard all these things will one day be mine~ I know I will be devoted to my job; career minded. Ah... some of you are wondering Y din't you go to LV's website?!?! Well... I dun mean to be MEAN but.... whoever holds a LV bag (which is many) has no taste at all... seriously... their designs look like its meant for woman in their 50s... their textile design has been the same since 4ever (just by changing the colour of the checkers doesnt mean its a NEW design! Stop being lazy; squeeze out some brain juices and be more creative!!) Plus LV bags are so freaking common.... Y wod I wanna spend so much money into buying a bag tat almost everyone have?!? Doesnt make sense does it~ Anyway back to thgs tat actually motivate me~~~~

My Motto: Never Ever Rely On A Guy!
If a guy buys them for you its a bonus; if they dont... we gals need not beg/ whine/ hint/ trick the guys into buying them for us... gals in this modern society are capable of buying branded stuff themselves~ Jia You Gals!!

Interested in the products I fell in Love with?!?!?!~~ Here they are:









Ooooo I love Chanel & Dior!!! ZITA MOK JIA YOU!!!!!!! Back to my work lu Everyone!!!
