One of my readers asked to share the Half Time Chair of Markus Hofer her. (Markus’ Volume leaves the chair)
Halbzeit Mein Volumen Verlasst Einen Stuhl can be translated as I’m Dripping From my Chair.

David Report blog: Be Honest by Artek and Marimekko
What is sustainability in design? For Artek and Marimekko, it is a combination of high quality, longevity and strong ideology of true design. Now these two Finnish top design houses meet in Spiral Garden in Tokyo to present this approach in an exhibition entitled Be Honest.
This year Artek celebrates the 75th anniversary of Stool 60. Designed by the architect Alvar Aalto in 1933, this innovative yet simple stool is considered the archetype of functional furniture. To pay tribute to this icon, a dynamic installation of Artek stools will be created at Spiral Garden. For this celebration, the following international creators have been invited to get inspired and make their own version of the Aalto stool: Shigeru Ban, Tom Dixon, GROOVISIONS, Alvar Gullichsen, Harri Koskinen, Nami Makishi, Akira Minagawa, Monocle, Tetsuya Nakamura, Yukiharu Takematsu and Katja Tukiainen.

Jacob Williams: Rocking Ladder with Chair Installation
It looks impressive.
You can stand on the chair if you can maintain your equilibrium.
You can rock the ladder while hanging from it.
and swing!
and tumbl!
And trying to calmly terminate your capriols….
It is hilarious: Jacob Williams
Rest: an Installation by martijn engelbregt
Rest experience at: wageningen, netherlands from: july 20 to september 21, 2008. Recently DesignBoom came across rest a public art installation created by dutch artists martijn engelbregt and miguel brugman. engelbregt was invited to create the installation as part of a summer arts festival. not only is it an art installation but it also a dining experience. he was inspired whilst cooking and realised how much food he wasted and in turn wanted to make people aware of how much food gets wasted in households. food served include edible wild plants that are gathered from the local area, cooked by engelbregt. the idea of rest came from picnic tables that are often located along major highways around the world known as rest stops. read more: http://www.egbg.nl
