Moel Lounge Chair and Sofa

Moel Sofa

Ligne Roset wants you to be comfortable in the Moel sofa group, so they gave it some really soft features. With help from designer Inga Sempe, Ligne Roset used its expertise in thermoformed foam combined with bands of quilting to create the ultimate in luxury seating. The Moel series is available in a large and small sofa, armchair, and footstool in a variety of contrasting colors. Ligne Roset is one of my favorite lines of light and refreshing modern furniture that includes something for every room.

Abstract Lounge Landscape Project

Abstract Lounge Landscape Project was developed on the occasion of this year’s  Rundgang. The landscape-like lounge furniture has two outstanding innovative features. Firstly, it is made of a novel multi layered composite material out of three dimensional polyester fabrics within glass fiber which is very strong and light at the same time. Specific surface properties, due to the novel compound material, its partly computer aided manufacturing and the mathematical approach lead to a unique object morphology synthesizing form, material and structure. Secondly, in addition to the innovative use compound materials, the specific surface geometry allows generating a whole ‘family’ of individual, differentiated objects with various possibilities to configure, all of them arising from a single mother form. The geometry of every generated surface offers many ways to sit on it and accommodates up to seven people. Lounge Landscape breaks with the common zoning and functions of conventional seating furniture as the usage of the surfaces is not fully defined, inviting the user to sit, rest, lean or linger on it as well as to interact with others. Social micro structures emerge from Lounge Landscape as everyone has individual and collective experiences while using it.

At Interior Design Show 08

It’s a bit of a Catch-22 for emerging industrial designers. Without a portfolio of products under their belt it’s almost impossible to put original designs into production because Canada’s secondary industry is so miniscule. Still many designers don’t sit around waiting for the phone to ring. Instead they develop new concepts from scratch, source the materials, sub-contract the manufacturing and thus nurture a new design from cradle to working prototype. It’s a risky business since time and money is involved and there is no guarantee of success. Every once in a while a clever designer hits a home run. Two years ago, Matthew Kroeker launched Splinter bench at IDS Prototype: New Ideas for the Home. The wood seating system fits together like a jigsaw puzzle and was picked up by Jane Hamley Wells, a furniture manufacturer in Chicago. Last month Interior Design awarded Splinter a merit award for best residential seating in 2007. Industrial designer Derek McLeod is another regular at IDS Prototype. Because of his talent and entrepreneurial spirit his clients include Speke/Klein and Seating Systems International. He’s currently in negotiation with an Italian manufacturer to produce Sum, his elegant walnut chair, which he showed at Prototype 07.
