Enignum is a chair collection by self-taught Irish designer Joseph Walsh. Combining art and craftsmanship, the form of each shape is dictated by the existing qualities found in wood. Pictured here are the Enignum Lounge Chair and the Enignum Chair III.

Update
If you have two avid contributors thousands of miles apart, it can happen they are working at the same subject at the same time. As I wanted to quote Joseph a bit more, I deemed it okay in this case to infringe on Julia’s work, rather than posting a comment.
In the Enignum series of work, I have stripped wood into thin layers, manipulating and reconstructing them into free form compositions. I then shape through these layers to reveal not only the honesty of the structure but the sculpted form which is a unique collaboration of man and material. The title derives from the Latin words Enigma (‘mystery’) and Lignum (‘wood’), for me they sum up the series: the mystery of the composition lies in the material.
Hah! Now I can ditch my draft;-)

Ego’s new KUBE is not just a chair. Depending on your needs, it can easily be a pouf, a lounger, a sunbed and even a coffee table, too. Pool party, anyone?

Sway by Markus Krauss is a rocking lounge chair with a padded seat and a steel rack. Special ‘telescope’ mechanism enables it to become a regular ‘sturdy’ steady chair, and the seat’s shape is made to comfortably fit two users.
