Utah Chair

More of Spanish Mut Design, I really enjoy the Utah chair.  The chair combines the rustic, the natural, and the avant-garde.  The woven strings form a diamond in the seat. I would put this chair in my desert getaway home.

This design and others were shown in Milan. Read more...

La Sagrada Familia Fire!

I just found out that someone started a fire in Gaudi's Sagrada Familia by igniting priest's robes in storage. The sacristy was destroyed, and the crypt received much smoke damage. The structure is still unfinished years after Gaudi's death. I'm planning on going here the end of May, so it will be interesting to see the progress after this fire.

Gehry Gaga

So I'm very late on this (about 2 years), but Frank Gehry designed a hat for Lady Gaga? I am not a fan.

Rippled Room

Iran's RYRA Studio has created the Barin Ski Resort in Tehran, Iran.  The interior is inspired by igloos and ice blocks, thus the topographical curves wrapping around the space.  This space is supposed to display an integration of manmade works and nature.

Shar Pei Chair

This wrinkly chair, the "Grinza," by Fernando and Humberto Campana is comprised of a steal frame with polyurethane foam and an outer leather or fur wrinkly cover (the fur is shown here, I'm not a fan of the leather). This chair looks so cuddly, like a shar pei puppy.

These guys have a really interesting website, not like anything I've really seen before. You should check it out.

Mirror Tables

Nendo has created Pond, a table series with mirrors reflecting a pattern beneath the table-top surface.  Italian Moroso launched the line in Milan.  The tables can be placed together to create an even more pattern-filled scene.  I want to steal this idea and make a tacky glue version of my own.  That's more in my price range at the moment.

"We named the table 'pond' to recall the way that the surface of a pond reflects its environment but also changes constantly with wind, weather, and movements within it." - Nendo
