Beautiful and simple.

“Felt & Gravity Sideboard (2011)

Faitful Copy, RAM galleri, Oslo

Douglas Fir, 100% wool and solid brass bolts. H: 1000 x W: 400 x L: 1500 mm

Gravity becomes one of the components in this sideboard. The shelves in 100% wool get their strength from the weight placed inside them.  The unit is created with a flat pack construction and solid brass wingnuts and bolts keep it together.

This is the colour scheme for our new Eames DSW chairs we are going to unpack this week. We can’t wait to be proud owners of such a design classic! What’s even nicer is that these are not the standard Vitra models, but the real deal made out of fibre-glass in the original mould used back in the 60s. Head over to Modernica to see how it’s done!

I recently moved flat and was surprised and amazed when I found these shelves. They are built into an alcove between a wall and a fireplace. The design is as simple as it is genius:

Job Smeets and his partner Nynke Tynagel work together as Studio Job and currently are exhibiting their latest work in the carpenters workshop gallery from 18 March until 8 May 2010. Their work combines fine craftsmanship with a dark undertone while commenting on the condition and attitudes of the modern world.

The figures are cut with a laser from maple, set in Indian rose wood.
