Strap-On Chair by Annika Schmidt

Strap-On Chair by Annika Schmidt Posted by: Jeannie Choe on Thursday, February 28 2008 straponchair.jpg Artist and designer Annika Schmidt’s Strap-On Chair looks and sounds a little risqué, especially shown here on topless people, but it’s a series project in-progress that’s intended to attach to just about anything. Objects are live and constantly transforming. Rather than serving as ends in themselves, each piece serves as a vehicle to a greater interaction. Through their activation and engagement by participants, or simply through a new location, each piece takes on a new life.

Mush! Lounge by Samare

We went to see the North American premiere of Awadare tonight at design gallery Commissaires in Montreal. Awadare is a furniture collection that combines austere painted steel frames with babiche, a leather weaving technique with aboriginal origins that many will recognize from traditional snowshoes. The juxtaposition is striking, the two extremes of structured manufactured modernity and an ancient organic form. That’s Mush! above, a lounge chair with a metal base that resembles the runners on a sled. Awadare is the first collection by Samare, a design collective made up of four architect designers (Laurie Bedikian, Nicolas Bellavance-Lecompte, Mania Bedikian and Patrick Meirim de Barros) who first met at the University of Montreal. After Commissaires the collection is off to Milan and SaloneSatellite, the launch pad for up-and-coming designers.
