Schwing: Rocking Stool by Ismail Oezalbayrak

Schwing Rocking Stool by Ismael Oezalbayrak

Schwing is not a typo for showing. Schwing is German for Rocking. This Rocking Stool is designed by Ismail Ozalbayrak, a design student at the HfbK Hamburg.
It consists of a very light upper part, made of painted fiberglass and a concrete lower part.
Due to its unique shape it stays in balance all the time.
The stool will be produced by Stilwerk GmbH in Germany. Stilwerk is German for Style Work 🙂

You’ve made a rocking use of concrete, Ismail!

How to Kung Fu build a Xiaolin Rocker Chair by Hayami Arakawa

I tried to find more on the web on Hayami Arakawa. Found no website of himself, but he should make one albeit for the sole purpose of this hilarious video.

Ah but there is a blog about another work from him: Intellectual Circle

Dancing Chair by Constance Guisset

Dancing Chair by Constance Guisset

One of the 13 project Assistance grants that was presented during the MAISON MEUBLE exhibition at the VIA stand.
The graphic strip structure in wooden laths delimits an ample yet light volume over which fits an upholstered shell. Dancing Chair is a contemporary interpretation of the rocking chair, and part of its interest lies in its excellent workmanship.
