Stray Bullet Chair by Design da Gema

The Stray Bullet Chair by a Brazilian design studio Design da Gema was inspired by a real chair that was stuck in a bar shooting, from the designers:

Survivor chair turns into luxury item. Chairs were target of shooting at a carioca bar from the Northern Zone of Rio de Janeiro. One of them, severely injured, was brought to our studio and, with luck, resisted the tragedy. And so, we celebrate it with our new Stray Bullet Collection.

WIKL by Gerlinde Gruber: a Stool to Walk and Live With

WIKL is a lovely portable stool by Gerlinde Gruber, but with five and a half meters of luscious satin fabric wrapped around its dark wooden trestle and knotted in circle handles, it looks like it could be some avant-garde fashion designer’s idea of a women’s handbag. In reality, the stool is meant to be carried if needed!

In addition to its attractive looks, WIKL is stackable and is easy to clean and reclothe.

Hugo by Kate Pashinova

The Hugo chair by Kate Pashinova is made to reflect Scandinavian style with its minimalistic features. Hugo is simple, but functional: its one arm is designed for hanging your bag, which comes in handy in public spaces like cafes and galleries.

From the designer:

“The special gap between the seat and the armrest allows to keep your bag close to you decreasing the glory of pickpockets and leaving it clean and tidy even in the dusty streets and spaces. Stackable design gives the owner more storage space and freedom, still making the day brighter with its eye-catching colours.”

Kate Pashinova is a young Russian designer and former student of British Higher School of Art and Design in Moscow who is currently moving to Finland to complete her MA at Aalto University.
