Chairs, Chair Design and Chair Designers
Lapo Germasi is a 24-year-old student from Italy studying industrial design. This chair is one you’ll either love or hate. It consists of a cube of electro-welded PVC, balls of low-density polyurethane and a suction valve.
I personally think this mold-able and solidify-able concept is pretty clever. Although I’m not so sure about the color, texture and overall comfortably (should be really stiff and bumpy), the changeable form is really attracting.

This human-sized and giant by bird standards nest by O*GE is a prototype of a new kind of a socializing space, a “morph of furniture and playground.” The soft and spacious product was created so that the users could get in for an informal meeting, play, think, get inspired, get creative and come up with new ideas.
With 3 sizes being available to be made on demand, the biggest version is 4.50 m in diameter and can host up to 16 people at once! Who’s in?
O*GE Creative Group was founded by an award winning architect duo Gaston Zahr and Merav Eitan who currently live in Haifa, Israel. They founded O*GE Interactive Gallery, a cross-over experience on art / architecture / design / ecological issues & social responsibility with its connected practice, O*GE Architects, in 2007.
Japan based, Italian architect/designer Elena Galli Giallini was so kind to submit her Ginza Chair to be featured here. With Pleasure! She designed it for the Yagi Collection.
The aim was to design a comfortable no frills reading chair that was nonetheless sleek looking. The armchair is named after the famous GINZA ward in Tokyo, where Japanese traditional craft shops and contemporary global brands are integrated in a unique way, displaying an unmatched capability to fuse together tradition and present day life and style.
The armchair is proposed in natural leather with bold colors (white, bordeaux, black) paired with different colors and finishing of the steel structure (bright chrome, matt
chrome, black matt epoxy varnish).
