Radiator Chair by Borislab

Radiator Chair by Swiss designer Boris Dennler of Borislab.

Having graduated as a precision mechanic and a decorator, Boris travelled through Asia during one year.
On his return to Switzerland, he was shocked by the abundance and the waste of objects that seemed doomed to obsolescence.
A strong desire to approach objects differently fuelled by an irrepressible urge to create lead Boris Dennler to found L’atelier BorisLab in 2004 – a laboratory dedicated to the study of materials and shapes, to the valorisation of existing objects, as well as to gratuitous and improbable experimentation. Inspired by the desire to create radical objects (regarding both shape and material), Boris designed a lamp series called Tetanos made up of unique components gained from recycled elements. The launch was followed by several successful exhibitions.
Approximately sixty unique lamps were sold to this day. At the same time, several lamp series such as “Hide” or “Livresse” were commercialised in 2006 and 2007 respectively.
With his hunger for experimentation still going strong, Boris Dennler continues to distil his ideas in seats and storage units.

Pawel Grunert

Born in 1965 in Warsaw, he studied on Department of Interior Design on Academy of Fine Arts of Warsaw. In 1990 he graduated with a honorable mention from Studio of Furniture for work titled M Y C H A I R. He design and made hundreds of furniture objects, sculptures and three-dimensional arrangement. What is worse – he still designs…
His works are placed in private collections and in museum in country and abroad. His work are published in books, magazines and on websites.
He works in countryside near Warsaw. He is more a hobbyist than a designer. It could be said that he cultivates and loves furniture. All signs on sky and land indicate that it is unpunishable in polish legislation furnish-fil. Surely, he will reincarnate in the form of a chair…

Chip Chair by Tembolat Gugkaev. As a Dutchman used to having a potato chip or two when we drink our beer or spirit when the 5 is in the clock -approximately 5.00 hr PM, but 5 to noon also has a 5 …- and with a sandy beach around the corner I like this concept.

Grown into a Chair by Natalie Stämpfli

Natalie Staempfli actually reads as Natalie Stämpli….In writing this I realize the USA based invention “personal computer” gives us US based keyboards, US based alphabets and so on and so fort. In short no consideration for other than English language cultures. With an ä in your name you will be at a disadvantage against people without strange aaaaa’s in their name. US dominated and dominating search engines, despite their efforts with foreign languages, will never catch up as they should…Sorry for this rant Natalie. I’m just a bit bored to weed a lot of strange signs out of this blog.

Back to the subject: Natalie Staempli‘s Grown into a Chair is a really nice idea for a valet chair.

This is post 4 in our Indexhibit series.
