Murakami Chair by Rochus Jacob
Read while you rock in this Murakami Chair by Rochus Jacob from the USA.
I was looking for opportunities to generate energy through activities we naturally do. The final result is a rocking chair that enables the user to experience production and consumption of electricity in a gentle and rewarding way.

Pencil Chair by Judith Delleman
Coincidence matters. Just via a funny tweet of young Dutch Designer Judith Delleman (@JmDdes) I noticed she is into chairs. As a second year student of interior design she used over 500 Ikea pencils to redesign an old Ikea chair. The seat and back she carefully outfitted with leather upholstery. “The future is in the reusing of materials” she claims and “the gold and black paint I used can give ordinary materials a luxurious look and feel”
Sotheby’s at Sudeley Castle (1): Spaghetti Corten by Pablo Reinoso
Sotheby’s has teamed up with London Based carpenters workshop gallery and organized an outdoor sales exposition in the magnificent garden of Sudeley Castle in the Cotswolds (UK). Many chairs and benches are featured until August 1, 2010. Stay tuned!
Pablo Reinoso’s Spaghetti Corten is used for one of the exhibition’s banners.
Born in 1955 in Buenos Aires, Pablo Reinoso has lived and worked in Paris since the late 1970s, establishing a successful career as a Product Designer with a broad repertoire that includes furniture, lighting and jewellery design. His portfolio features numerous design projects for the packaging of luxury consumer goods, including perfume, cosmetics, wines and spirits. Reinoso’s commercial practice has developed in harmony with his artistic Å“uvre;. he began producing innovative and playful furniture designs in the 90s and has since become renowned for his dramatic re-interpretations of ubiquitous and often overlooked objects. The breathtakingly eloquent Spaghetti series focuses on the humble public bench, transforming its rigidly parallel wooden slats into a network of meandering tendrils. Spaghetti Corten., exhibited for the first time at Sudeley, is a new variation on this iconic theme with adjoining sections of teak and Cor-Ten steel. In this work organic and fabricated materials exist in a symbiotic relationship, inviting contrasts between their variable textures and surface patination.

About Leslie Webb
There are countless ways to leave a legacy in this world; it seems natural for me to craft furniture that will be here long after I am gone.
The designs of Leslie Webb celebrate natural materials and form. As a maker, she values craftsmanship and purpose. Invariably made of wood, her medium requires patience and a deep understanding of the inherent structural properties of it. She knows that every board of every species has its own personality. Therefore, it is important to become acquainted before making the first cut. For her, it is paramount to have confidence in the piece long after it has left her hands. Though utility is at the forefront of her mind when designing each piece, she firmly believes that furniture can delight the eye as well.
