“Conceal” book shelf by Miron Lior for Umbra:
“Powder coated steel floating book shelf becomes invisible behind stack of books. Mounting hardware included. Portion of proceeds donated to Pratt.”
“Staircase” by Danny Kuo:
“The most efficient way to build is vertically. Building vertically saves space as it uses minimal ground square meters. When it comes to interior design, the same rule can be applied. By focusing on height rather than width, efficient storage designs can be created. However, high storage designs can create a new problem because the higher storage parts will be difficult to reach. My Staircase is a shelving unit that combines a bookshelf with a pullout stair system in the bottom three shelves. The shelving unit is 2.6 meters high and the top shelves are accessible by using the bottom shelves as steps for accessing the higher shelves.”
“The Broken Shelves” by Mareike Gast:
“The Broken Shelves” by German designer Mareike Gast shows a more natural way of shelving books. The new structure that appears through the broken shelves gives space to differently sized books. One element provides a place to sit and read inside the shelves.”
“Vjunok/Bindweed” series by Maris Yasko:
The modular shelving unit by Russian designer Maria Yasko is called “Icelandig Tree”. Made from Corian, the organic shapes are fluid and smooth.
“Plus One” by Matthias Ries:
“Plus One is an additional storage container for any kind of regular shelf. Its sophisticatedly bent plywood results in an exclusive look. With a simple U-shaped tube Plus One can be attached to a shelf. Surely it doesn’t add much more storage space, but helps to highlight your current folders or books in an unobtrusive way.
It comes in walnut or maple veneer. Individually knitted socks for the tube not only protect the surfaces, but add an additional aesthetical level.”
Floor-to-Ceiling shelving by EventArchitektuur:
“EventArchitectuur are around to explore the colorful and creative interplay of installation art, architectural construction and creative interior design.
While their work does not always revolve around book shelving and casework, this is a common theme in their pieces – from elaborate wooden wall bookcases for homes, offices and libraries to entire staggered-shelf storefronts and structural interior walls designed to doubl as storage spaces.
The theme they seem to explore throughout all of these experiments concerns permeability and flexibility of structure and space – they expand the flat notion of the wall into a three-dimensional, interactive and functional space that is more than merely a passive surface.
Though repeated visual rhythms and structural techniques are visible throughout their constructions, each temporary and permanent installation builds upon lessons learned from the last and has a distinctive, site-specific uniqueness that defines it within their body of work.”
“Sway” by Markus Krauss:
“Sway is a rocking chair with a padded seat and a steel rack. The shape of the seat enables many-sided use even in pairs. The telescope mechanism locates the rocking chair in an easy chair position.”
“Ausgebrannt” by Kaspar Hamacher:
Belgian designer Kaspar Hamacher has produced a series of low stools / tables made from tree trunks which have been formed by use of fire. Fittingly named ‘Ausgebrannt’ which means ‘burned out’ in German, a tree trunk has been cut into segments varying in length. All the bark is stripped from the exterior and fire is then used to hollow out parts of the trunk to create legs.
“Transit” tables and chairs by Boris Bally:
American artist Boris Bally has created “Transit Chairs and Tables” available at Outdoorz Gallery. Bally uses recycled street signs as a celebration of a raw American street-aesthetic. Bally uses his skills as a jeweler, combining them with sculpting and industrial design to create a chair that is crafted for functional use that also considers the original street sign. Each piece is individually created based on signage stock and therefore one of a kind. Each comes with recycled champagne corks on the feet to protect your floors.
“Ripple Effect Tea Table” by Studio hanna & seo:
“How culture-specific ideas and mindsets could be translated into a physical design? Ripple effect tea table is part of the Jeonghwa Seo’s degree project ‘The geography of objects’ at Eindhoven Academy in cooperation with Hanna Chung.
The tea table attempts to deliver an interface for analyzing the way of considering cultural differences in psychological level through the process of design and form. Business organizations need to be culturally sensitive when entering new markets or tossing out new products. On a similar note, we here want the design fraternity to consider cultural nuances and mentalities when designing in order to make design more poignant and meaningful.
There is a belief by Asian people that small changes in an individual’s life can have an impact and have a certain effect to the whole community, which in a psychological term is called a “ripple effect”.
Hailed as the “Ripple effect tea table,” the table blends Eastern ritual with the social relationships. Each time you place the cup on the table surface, the ripples can be seen speeding up on the surface of the body.
The process that takes place when the ripples are formed and slowly expands to disturb the whole water layer then becomes the visual symbolism of a deeper psychological understanding of what we are trying to articulate in the design of this tea table.
Give the fact globalization is shaping the future of World Economy, a deeper understanding of a region’s culture and cultural differences as against other social structures will help one get on top of the heap.”
