Plastic Nature Stool by Alexander Pelikan
Plastic Nature Stool by Alexander Pelikan.
Alexander Pelikan is a German designer based in Eindhoven, working from his studio Pelidesign.
The Plastic Nature Stool is based on the idea of connecting the world of plastic and the world of wooden furniture.
The first pieces of the Plastic Nature series were stools for Alexanders graduation project of the Design Academy in Eindhoven in June 2006.
Wooden furniture is usually manufactured by taking material – contrary to plastic furniture: When manufacturing plastic furniture there is hardly any waste, because plastic is cast in shapes and leftovers are molten again for further casting.
The wooden parts have cavities that work like dovetail connections. The plastic flows “behind” and into the cavities, hardens, and is not solvable anymore.
The complicated shapes of the cavities are not specially designed. Their only purpose is to provide sufficient surface to connect the plastic to the wood.

Via wesgarnett:
An icon it its own right, the glorious Wingback Chair is a modern take on the more traditional wingback. It has a relaxed-yet-formal seating position with a contemporary feel, making it suitable for many environments.
This iconic chair easily becomes a signature piece for the home or in a more commercial interior.
The solid hardwood frames are made in the UK, combining traditional woodworking skills with modern technology. Standard hardwood frame finishes include walnut, oak or black lacquer.
The upholstery work is carried out by our network of British upholsters utilizing years of expertise and skill.
We have a number of standard fabric and leather finishes available or we can cover in your own material (COM).
The upholstery detailing is also flexible and we can work with you to create a unique piece.
Designers: James Harrison and James Kinmond
