A chemical engineer by training, Louis Durot worked with the French artist Cesar developing new polyurethane materials before he started making his own designs. His furniture forms – lip-shaped settees, lounges that look like tongues and spiral chairs – are sensual and humorous expressions. Durot’s playful biomorphic functional objects are works of art that display his mastery in sculpting plastic.
Vienna, Austria, based design studio Dejane Kabiljo presented the Occupy Chair in Milan last week. Life influences designers and Kabiljo stated:

We still do a lot of sitting. In order to achieve the goals we are striving for, we need to do quite some sitting together.
It bears resemblance to Frank Winubst’s Springtime Chair
