Chairs
Designers from IL HOON ROH studio have presented the advantages and opportunities of carbon fiber in the SaloneSatellite (Milan). Table Ramus M1, as well as the benches, stools and low tables from the furniture Series Rami are made with the use of carbon fiber. Due to the material the lightness and solidity are assigned to the construction. The furniture has one more distinctive feature: durability of the material is combined with an unusual structure, borrowed from the branches of the trees (from the Latin "ramus" is a branch). The basis of the furniture Rami is woven with the use of more than a kilometer of the carbon fiber thread. Their final shapes are organized in the manufacturing process. So the pattern is not known beforehand. The Series is not over yet, so we will wait for new products.

It is popular now to have furniture that can be folded as a constructor. These floor boards by Ying Zhang and Ida Thonsgaard can be easily transformed into a chair, a table or whatever else. The procedure is the same as manipulation with a paper, folding and unfolding it into different shapes. When folded, it is a common piece of furniture with a usual functionality and very lightweight. When unfolded, flat pieces of board with a help of special clips and small magnets can be joined together in any desirable length and width. Bright colors and patterns make the furniture stylish and a bit childish.

If you look at the works and projects of designer Stijn Guilielmus Ruys you'll find many inimitable and unique things. His works are aimed on the rejection of the traditional understanding of the things (pieces of furniture) and re-look at them from a functional point of view. For example, why does the table need four legs, if he manages well with two? His '010 Outdoor Table and Bench' use only three supports for the whole construction. This unusual design provides an additional and convenient legroom in spite of visual tension while looking at it. The whole collection of tables and seating has a name why-more-legs-when-less-will-do.

The Double View Bench is made of sustainably harvested materials - different types of wood, including chestnut (chataigner), oak (chene), robinia-acacia (robinia) and moabi. The bench will be perfect especially for limited spaces because of its small dimensions. For more information, visit Outdoorz Gallery.

Darius is an incredibly comfortable chair designed by Jan Armgardt from Leolux. The armchair with its high back is very similar to the throne, shaped as if enveloping the user sitting in it. The armrests, smoothly flowing out of the solid mass, also give an important contribution to comfort. Together with an ottoman for feet this piece of furniture is perfect for rest and relaxation. By supplementing with a neat little table the armchair looks very elegant and chic. One more advantage is that the colorful interchangeable upholstery can be chosen for the front and rear separately. And the frame, ending the silhouette of chair can also be selected from the high-gloss chrome, satin chrome or lacquer/epoxy.
