2Modern Design Talk – Modern Furniture & Design Blog: No Design

For the next few weeks l’ll be posting about NO Design and its products. This Brazilian design office was created by a group of friends who met at college, a few years ago. Since then, all of their creations are nothing but a huge success. TANGRAN CHAIR – with the purpose of being an ecologically correct and accessible alternative for the lower classes, this chair's premise was to make good use of the OSB sheet and to reduce the number of cuts in its manufacture. The cut made for the chair's sides automatically results in the cut for the seat and the back, minimizing the expense of raw material, of the manufacturing process, avoiding waste. The chair's assembly is very easy: only eight screws for it to be ready.

Desire for the Other

DESIRE FOR THE OTHER 2004 This project was sculpted by Brian Goggin with Al Honig and Tom Kennedy. It is part of the San Jose Museum of Art permanent collection. It’s a pandemoniacal moment, bounding off the floor, an amiable enough, elongated, many legged, yet crapulous couch wraps its craning ends bulbous pillows around an under stuffed rather intellectual reading chair. Not for osculation, but for silencing consumption. An armor of orange upholstery stretches tight, seams strained, over previously pillow-gummed furniture, constrained inside the padded peptic tract but not yet dissolved, a table, a television, a lamp, and a telephone, thrust their extremities out, unlikely tent poles making fabric braille, caught in the couches duodenum. Black belly arching, red legs clambering, it peers your way.
