R540 Rocking Bench by Fetiche Design

From the designers:

We developed the design of the weft of threads as a “connecting dots” game, looking for a ergonomic radius seating. The result is the 540 milimeters radius (~22 inches). We developed a contemporary product, but with a strong emotional interaction. This kind of threads were part of our childhood in the garden seats of the interior of Brazil. This nostalgic reference is evident in this product.

Remains Benches by Elyse Marks

















The Remains Benches , designed by Elyse Marks, are covered in skeletal animals and bare trees comes in antithetical variates. The benches feature an Avant-garde motif of animals and trees. Unlike the elegant and graceful pattern’s we’re used to seeing in designer furniture, the Remains collection boasts a rather disturbing pattern of dead, skeletal animals, hanging off of even dead-er trees…

























When one thinks of furniture design, he or she most likely thinks of something beautiful. This beauty has been taken to the extreme, furniture had been taken over by cute little birds and floral patterns. But does the imagery on the table have to be necessarily beautiful? What if the finely crafted piece of furniture told a more disturbing, thought provoking story?










What covers this table? Dead, skeletal animals on a dead tree with a noose thrown in for good measure. Is it a rejection of the trends in decoration? A statement about the environment? The user may imagine the story on the table to be anything he wants.

The Diagram Bench from Swedish furniture manufacturer Nola












Architects Clara Lindencrona and Karin Andersson usually design in response to an existing landscape, but their plastic-fibre ‘Diagram’ bench seems to be a landscape in itself. ‘Diagram’s precipitous backrest brings the outline of mountain range to mind, while its rippling surface suggests a topography of mountain plateaux sloping towards the sea.



















The bench is a beautiful compliment to a contemporary gallery or a modern museum – where it could be mistaken for an artwork – yet tough enough to be the school playground’s coolest attraction. This Diagram Bench is from Swedish furniture manufacturer Nola.

334 Newspaper Bench by Oscar Lhermitte



























Designed by designer Oscar Lhermitte as part of the “X days project.” This “334″ Newspaper Bench is an innovative idea that aims to make people more eco-concious. This series aims to create products that involve considerable recycling, yet avoid processes like gluing, screwing, soldering etc. 334 bench consists of three parallel bars of metal, over which are stacked 334 old newspapers.



















At a first glance this bench might look fragile but it’s not, the designer claims that’s this piece of furniture has the capability of roughly holding the weight of 5 people. This project wasn’t meant to be sold, it was created with the purpose to inspire others to make their own pieces of eco friendly furniture and to make people more eco-concious.
