Atelier Sauvage X Marie de Lignerolles

Recently, Atelier Sauvage allied to Marie de Lignerolles in order to make the hybrid Moerakiroom divider. Indeed, the work of the designers tends to highlight the peculiarities of the wood and its natural reactions in contact with the color, the random patterns drawn by its natural structure guiding in an unpredictable way how the colorful covering will be able to wrap it... A delicate and functional project, to be considered as furniture, or sculpture.

Cuatro Cuatros

Spanish design studio Cuatro Cuatros has been working on the triangle of Penrose in order to create a unique vase, at 90 degrees. This impossible form is fascinating and captures our attention for several minutes, time during which our mind seeks to understand... A beautiful work between design and performance!

Fosbury&Sons

It's in an incredible modernist building designed by Constantin Brodski in 1958, in Brussels, that the well-known Fosbury&Sons company settled in its last premises dedicated to coworking. It is on 5600 m² that an unusual place extends, probably one of the best designed workplace, in order to attract in its midst more and more creative and freelance workers. A workspace worth a visit, even for a few hours.

Ihor Skrypnyk

This week, we also discovered the work of Ihor Skrypnyk and his Zen Table, a sleek and efficient design that raises the question of the comfort that we can have sitting in our office all day, as well as the aesthetics of the latter... An interesting and innovative formal work in order to improve office life.

Katia Tolstykh

One of the designer's latest projects Katia Tolstykh stages a one of a kind chair. Indeed Proun, is halfway between an impracticable and comfortable object, between a sculpture and a chair of a new kind. For this project, the proportions and shapes – usually rectilinear – have been pushed to the maximum and the plan surfaces have been cleverly changed into volumes. Good work.

Liang-Jung Chen and Shuei-Yuan Yang

The young Taiwanese design duo of Ling-Jung Chen and Shuei-Yuan Yang has designed a complete collection of small objects and furniture entitled Misused Objects. This collection refers in a practical, poetic and very humorous way to how the elders improvise daily by creating from old recovered objects. A nice reflection on the birth of creativity as well as a wink to the invaluable and indispensable popular know-how.

Maria Tyakina

Maria Tyakina focus her work on research between art and design and human/object interactions. Recently, she has developed the Bend TableThe mirror is a metal side table with no fixings or screws, each part of the object being held in place by the others. As for the mirror Color Temperature, it is the result of an experiment between metal and its reaction to the heat, each color being obtained thanks to a different heating temperature . A beautiful iridescent series...

Teemu Perttunen

The Finnish designer Teemu Perttunen presented his work last September at the Habitare fair, in Helsinki, in the category of young emerging designers. His work, focused on the emotional relationship that guides us to go to an object or another human being, is based on imperfection, for which we feel empathy, and therefore attraction. Taking the visitor's gaze against the current and anticipating his reactions, the designer offers a complete and subtle collection of furniture and small objects, and which addresses directly to our subconscious. Moreover, if some details are not perfect, the manufacturing of these objects is made with the utmost precision. A good work beyond the visible, bravo.
