Laundry Chair (1): by Jess Corteen

Laundry-Chair-by-Jess-Corteen

I was looking into the Thonet no 14 Project and found the idea for a laundry chair by Jess Corteen. It reminded me I used to toss my dirty laundry behind a colossal wing chair during the week and to collect it in the weekend to take it to the laundry when I was a student myself (eons ago). Jess simply designed a laundry bag as a practical foldable chair seat that you can stuff the laundry in and collect in after a couple of days. The idea intrigued me, so I did some research on the laundry chair and will share a couple of different views on the subject in the next posts. Stay tuned.

Waterfall Bench by Tokujin Yoshioka

Waterfall Glass Bench by Tokujin Yoshioka

Via Spoon & Tamago I rediscovered an eye twitching glass bench by Japan based designer Tokujin Yoshioka: the Waterfall Bench which was presented in 2010 at the occasion of the Museum beyond Museum event in Korea, but originates back from 2002. And I’m a bit sad I didn’t have enough time to explore his exposition in Cologne at the occasion of his appointment of Designer of 2011 by the prestegious German A&W Magazine.

Jeroen Wesselink is a Dutch designer based in Utrecht, The Netherlands. Apparently he was inspired by Rietveld‘s Zig Zag chair when designing this radiator chair. Again a yellow chair. Let’s call this Sunday Yellow Sunday:-)
