Stockholm-based design studio Claesson Koivisto Rune has collaborated with Italian furniture company Tacchini to develop “Kelly,” a family of chairs. Influenced by the work of American painter Ellsworth Kelly, the seating series references bright colors and irregular shapes seen in the artist’s abstract sculptures. The “crazy, weird, childish, beautiful, wonderful Play-Doh graphic universe” type collection includes an easy chair, lounger and high lounge chair. |

Made out of interlocking wooden boards, the “fold” shelving unit by Nendo is oriented in different positioned angles. Debuting at Spazio Pontaccio during Salone del Mobile in Milano, the system uses the superior craftsmanship of Japanese manufacturer Conde House, making the joints appear seamless—as though single boards have been bent and interwoven like paper chains or a woven textile. Looking at the shelves, it seems virtually impossible to know how the parts are connected. |

Lumio performs like a permanent light fixture with the added versatility
of being portable. Fold Lumio into a compact book and take it with you
as a lightweight portable lamp. Weighing just one pound and with eight hours of
continuous life, Lumio provides beautiful lighting on the go and stows
away compactly when unused. |

Skateboarding has always been a big part of my life. Stoked that over the past few years I have seen many creative ways to recycle and reuse old skate decks, from women’s handbags to frames for posters. But this is something I had never seen until recently, and I think it is brilliant. It is tiles made from used decks treated and used in kitchens, counters, etc. |
