Conform Chair by William Lee

"A geometry of distorted cubes seem to be cut from a single rectangular frame. A slight variation is created from the inversion of top and bottom."

Wishbone Chair by Hans J. Wegner for Carl Hansen & Son

"In 1944, Danish designer Hans Wegner began a series of chairs that were inspired by portraits of Danish merchants sitting in Ming Chairs. One of these chairs was the Wishbone Chair (1949), also known as the “Y” or “CH-24,” which has been produced by the Danish firm Carl Hansen & Son since 1950. The son of a shoemaker, Wegner was trained as a cabinetmaker before attending the School of Arts and Crafts in Copenhagen, after which he began his career as an architect. Just three years later, Wegner started his own design office, and his work soon caught the eye of the folks at Carl Hansen & Son. The light, sculptural Wishbone Chair was exactly what the Hansen company was looking for to supplement the heavier forms that were popular at the time. However, the Wishbone was a challenging chair to make, as this steam-bent solid wood frame demands perfect craftsmanship and an intimate knowledge of wood joinery. Even today, the seat is still hand woven from paper cord, a durable material developed during WWII as a substitute for jute. Using the best natural materials, the sculptural Wishbone is made to last for generations and offers outstanding sitting comfort. Made in Denmark."

VIIC Chair by Petar Zaharinov

"VIIC is inspired by interlocking burr puzzles. It consists of 7 plywood elements. All parts stay together without the need of glue and nails.
It is part of "coordinate" collection. Coordinate because in order to be assembled its legs must be moved together towards the center as a coordinate-motion (slide-together) structure. The top must be placed at a special time during assembly – just before it is finished when the two U shaped elements that hold it are close enough to each other. Once assembled the structure will stay stable even if one tries to move one or two of its elements. Disassembled this furniture occupies little space; as a result, it is very appropriate for frequent change of place. The level of difficulty in this case depends not on dexterity but mostly on spatial vision.
The whole structure is very stable. Its parts lie in several different planes that are almost perpendicular to each other and every plywood element is practically unchangeable in its plane. Both sides of all elements are identical, giving the opportunity of choosing which to be the more visible one. The chair back is elastic, providing space for movement of the body."

Contour Chair and Table by Bodo Sperlein

Bodo Sperlein introduces his dynamic new furniture collection. The Contour table and chair are part of a capsule furniture collection which continues his signature style of sensual and curvaceous forms – this time however working on a larger scale. The final shapes strongly reflect the design process, based around folding flexible and malleable materials such as paper, to create a series of dynamic curves and forms.

The chair exudes a simple elegance, and has been designed to look like a single sculpted sheet. A ribbon-like profile draws the eye effortlessly around a series of loops terminating in slender legs that conceal their true strength. The lines of a traditional table have been elongated, and embellished with curves. Concaved sections play on negative space, and give the table a ‘lightness’ that contrasts with the weight and solidity of the hardwood from which it is made.
