I must have been under the rocks … Only this week Yatzer pointed me to the Cul is Cool Tour. It started last year at ICFF in NYC and arrived at Valencia Design Week this year.

So I came across “Furniture Publisher” (I would prefer furniture label) ABR again – see Cul Stool by ABR and Sitting Pretty in Berlin – and HAT Gallery a new Spanish Gallery.

It always amazes me how good photography can tell a very good story of a product, in this case a stool, the Cul Stool. It is also amazing that ABR itself doesn’t pimp up its own website a bit more with larger size photos….

New Chairs by Infiniti Design



Found these photos from new 2010 Infiniti chairs at Contemporist. Have yet to pinpoint their name and designer.

Less Chair with the Chairless by Alejandro Aravena

Vitra introduced Chairless, a sitting strap only, designed by Chilean architect Alejandro Aravena in Milan.

Aravena was inspired by a similar sitting strap commonly used by the Ayoreo Indians living in the border region between Paraguay and Bolivia. A portion of the proceeds from Chairless will go to the non-profit Foundation for Paraguayan Indian Communities, for support of the Ayoreo Indians.
