Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

Into a world where “i” stands in front of many mainstream products comes the first “i” furniture piece – the iTable by Willisau Switzerland which is also a winner of the 2008 Red Dot Award.  Generous in dimensions, this designer modern table is a symbol of pure minimalism, a sign of futuristic modernism, in tune not only with current design trends but with latest technology.  Visually striking, the iTable comes ready for your iPod/iTunes in terms of technological and stylistic accommodations.  The flush mounted docking station is integrated into the top of the dining table operable via remote control while the stereo sound system and a bass reflex box are mounted conveniently on the side.  The white lacquered finish of the iTable serves as a beautiful backdrop to the iPod, providing unrivaled sensory experience, both visually and acoustically.

Who said that modern furniture and contemporary furnishings should have any limitations? Validating the notion that in fact, modern furniture design knows no barriers, especially in the choice of materials, are a few examples where conventional forms are executed using unconventional materials yet all these extraordinary pieces maintain their practical demeanor.

Honey Pop Chair by Tokujin Yoshioka is made out of paper.  Yes, paper – you heard it…so avoid spilling drinks or lighting candles around it.  The Honey Pop Chair is built using 120 pieces of glassine paper which are glued together and precisely contoured into a multi dimensional structure which when “opened”, fashions a honeycomb silhouette, hence the namesake.
