DERELICT FURNITURE BY TÕNIS KALVE & AHTI GRÜNBERG

"Derelict Furniture by Tõnis Kalve & Ahti Grünbergreclaims wood from industrial scrap, selected woodpiles and abandoned sheds, upcycling it into fine furnishings, where imperfections add distinction.
Sources include the likes of "a restricted Czarist-era military building on a distant Baltic coast," "a time-worn camping shed," or the "decaying cafeteria terrace of the 1920's Tallinn Hippodrome." Markings on packing remnants are retained. Wood is cleaned and match to pieces, each of which comes numbered and with its provenance story.
Derelict Furniture, the brand and company, is the concept of Tõnis Kalve and Ahti Grünberg, both architects and interior designers, working from Tallinn, Estonia."

Colibri by Markus Johansson for HansK

Markus Johansson has designed the Colibri chair for Swedish manufacturer HansK.
From the designer
"Colibri is inspired from Nordic stickback chairs into a contemporary modernist expression: easy-going and yet quite classical. Furthermore, Colibri empowers its proprietor whom can take part in the design. Choose from four different bases, four different seats in textile or bonded leather, four different backs, or opt for four different ones with armrests.

The finish is either white lacquered birch or dyed black elm, or opt for oiled natural or blonde oak. There is also an accompanying slender table with a border in massive oak and a durable table-top in melamine."
