Burden Chair by Apirak Leenharattanarak
Recent Central Saint Martins MA Design graduate, Apirak Leenharattanarak designed a series of furniture pieces exploring patterns of use and storage.
As a reaction to how technology is constantly impacting our use of personal space, bringing its own detritus to our increasingly confined urban environements, Apirak created furniture with a personalised and distinctive language.
As an example of the collection, the Burden chair highlights the weight we carry in our everyday lives, by integrating symbolic storage exposing the number and identity of our possessions.

Pleated Pleat Chair by Raw Edges
I have been into pleated stuffs since Pleats Please by Issey Miyake, now I can get the chair by Raw Edges presented during Milan Furniture Fair.
Pleated Pleat uses a special material (Tyvek, patented by DuPont), similar to paper but more resistant, that when skilfully pleated and filled with rigid polyurethane foam can be used to create endless variations of padded seats. The advantages are evident: no moulding and no need for internal structures or even covering. Yael and Shay, Israeli but established in London, explain the transition from two to three dimensions: “We were fascinated by the fact that by pleating paper we can turn it into a stretchable surface. We tried pleating it in two directions (and not just in one as usually done with skirts) so it can be stretched into a dome shape.

Luflic
Luflic is the Old English word for “lovely.” Luflic says they are interested in making “furniture that is desirable and durable so there is no reason to replace it or throw it away.” I think that is important because these days I see a lot of disposable furniture out there. It is nice to see a commitment to quality and timelessness.
