Via Mat and Me I noticed (again) there was an exhibition of Vienna Design recently in the Vienna Museum where Vienna based Dejana Kabiljo exhibited her Let Them Sit Cake stool and sofa during Vienna Design Week. For the sofa photo I refer to Mat and Me. The photo here is from Juicy Pool
Lost in Sofa by Daisuko Motogi
I’ve seen the interesting Lost in Sofa by Japan based Daisuko Motogo making its round in interior design blogs. I also would like to congratulate Daisuko with her starting an independent studio as of 2010. She has a nice website as well. In this chair / sofa you can “lose” your things on purpose:-)

Wait… a Chair Ring?
If you think what you see is a chair, think again. It’s actually a Chair Ring! Yes, the kind of a ring you wear on your finger. I’m sure though, it would look equally as interesting if it was big enough to sit on. The Hand Engraved Chair Ring pictured above is by Kent Perdue
Ken:
“I like to use my Chair Ring to experiment with different ideas I have. This one was very exciting to see come alive. I made a chair ring about twice as tall as normal and engraved a brass plate that I then attached to it’s back. The chair was painted white and sanded back to give it an antique distressed look.”
About the designer:
Ken Perdue received a BFA in Crafts and Material Studies with a focus in woodworking and furniture design from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2009. He is interested in making furniture, jewelry and other sculptural forms using a wide variety of techniques and materials.
Note: The link to Ken’s Etsy portfolio has disappeared.
