Prototype Chair by Leif Labo – Core77
Prototype Chair by Leif Labo
Proposed a form and expression of the beauty and lightness frameworks creates. Complex of a form and functionality is what Leif.designpark is aiming at in this experimental project by repetitious feedback, going against the modern method which a form and materials concludes functionality. The lightness of the chair is emphasized by its visual appeal of floating pipe. Also the back and seat give comfortable soft feeling for sitting. These contradict the impression of the depth which seems too deep compared to the seat of a normal chair. Although pursuit of the forming caused remaining of space, the dead space has been transformed as a practical holder functions as storage for belongings

Genetologic Research – Biomimetic Chair
Ha and from one thing usually comes another thing: Google found me this marble reincarnation of what is actually an antique Chinese design….
“The marble chair is made from a solid piece of a stone into a chair, into something which ironically overthrew the idea of the wooden classic chair. The work as one piece is strongly against its own form, its own way of structure. In the kind of making it really dismisses its own meaning. I enjoy that part.â€

Compare with a zitan wood round legged couch bed in Wang Shixiang’s Classic Chinese Furniture, 1986, pl. 122, p. 183, which has plain ornamental struts and a single waist molding surrounding the platform frame. In our exhibit, the solid back panel of beautifully grained huanghuali wood and dual waist moldings, combined with double circle motifs, give this bed a perfectly proportioned and restrained elegance.
