droog selected jürgen bey for this commission.
bey got a strip of 7 m long, 1.25 m wide and a
height of 1.65 m.
the designer allowed himself to be inspired
by the different positions people assume on
the street.
he made pictures of them and observed how
they moved and took different positions during
the day. next he made a selection of peoples
silhouettes and arranged them to form a natural
order in time. computer morphing from one position
to the next over the available 7 metres produced
the basic shape of the bench.
after that bey added the shapes of old furniture.
the bench is called ‘day-tripper’ and is made of
polyurethane foam covered with glass reinforced
polyester with a silk screen flower pattern.

'chair that disappears in rainy days'
what would isamu noguchi have created if he
were still here? tokujin yoshioka executed the concept
with such a question in mind.
much like when shards of glass are dropped into water
and their outline gradually disappears, this chair
has similar effect in the rain.
the chair is made from a massive block of glass
that is crafted by special techniques (the same material
is used for the astronomical telephoto lens of the 8m
giant observatory telescopes)

'it is sensual, romantic, and super comfortable,

karim rashid says.

ojala se vean

que diseños mas guapos, me encantan como quedan, dan un aire de modernizacion y algo deforme y fuera de lo normal entre tanta monotonia.
si los pusieran en una ciudad española acabarian quemados o robados... y con un poco de suerte simplemente pintados o rayados.

Hombre, con un segurata vigilando las 24 horas del día todo es posible.

Me encantan. El de toyo Ito es fantástico. Ya podían romper la monotonía de Madrid con estos. Se le ponen unas cámaras como al museo de escultura al aire libre bajo el puente de Juan Bravo, y punto en boca.
