Unfolded Seats by Jule Waibel

The designer’s description

"The collection plays upon the idea of unfolding a stone. The rounds are crafted from 100% wool felt and folded so that they point like a cone at the top. The plush seats echo the round form of a boulder and are dyed a variety of earthy colors. Ornamental and comfortable, the designs have a natural, striking presence and contour to the user’s body."

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."
