Peg by Nendo

Posted by , Friday, April 12th, 2013

A chair with back legs like wooden stakes that pierce the sides of the backrest. The stakes give the backrest a nipped-in curve which provides firm lower back support and comfortable seating despite its compact size. A sweetly-sized lounge chair inspired by ‘supermini’ cars like the Fiat 500 and smart cars that easily navigate Milan’s streets. Designer: Nendo Manufacturer: Cappellini

Jar RGB by Arik Levy

Posted by , Friday, April 12th, 2013

Jar RGB is a lighting project connecting thin colorful glass blowing techniques and the idea of RGB color mixing. Using white glass for one of the hanging jars allows it to turn into a large light bulb generating the light for the entire fixture. Observing one jar through another and the space surrounding them gives one a unique and everlasting discovery of color superimposition. Designer: Arik Levy Manufacturer: Lasvit
