RE-TROUVÉ Collection by Patricia Urquiola

Apparently it's "inspired by the meeting of the present and the past: nostalgic design from the fifties with its curls and spirals combined with modern production." Whatever they say... I think it's a nice collection regardless, but I thought it was perhaps a useful point of reference - techincally and aesthetically - for Jiwon, based on her latest sketches.

Fantastical Objects

I saw these two posts on Designboom and couldn't help but think of Lui's project.

"Marie Coquine" by Phillipe Starck for Baccarat

"Homework" chair, by Nika Zupanc - part of the "self discipline" collection on display in Milan currently.

Silk Chair

AviSilkChair by Avi Design

A similar idea to Rebecca's experiments with upholstery, but a different take on form and structure.

Funny Furniture?

'souviens toi que tu vas mourir' (remember that you will die) chair by pool

A riff on the quintessential white "monobloc" plastic chair. It made me think of Evan's project - is this a "funny" piece of furniture?
