Pop Rivet Bench by TAF Architektkontor
After the Butter Stool now the Buttercup Bench or Pop Rivet Bench by TAF Architektkontor for UK based Lolliepop Shoppe
Design: TAF, Gabriella Gustafson & Mattias Ståhlbom

Date: 2010Pop Rivet Bench is a combination between two traditional handicrafts. We used the visual expression from the antique Swedish Bentwood boxes for keeping butter (Sw; Svepask). They were traditionally made of layers of wood bent around an oval shaped bottom held in place with birchwood lacing. The wood is translated into swept aluminum sheets and instead of laces we used big Pop Rivets. The construction and the production method is very pragmatically chosen and makes the project very easy to produce and use.

Pantosh Chair by Lattoog
Someone commented on the post at Contemporist that Brasilean design studio Lattoog of Leonardo Lattavo and Pedro Moog had another take on the Panton Chair: The Pantosh Chair.
The design of the Pantosh chair was born of the fusion of the Panton chair by Verner Panton (created in 1968), and the Willow Chair, designed by Scottish architect C. Mackintosh (created between 1902-1904)..
