The Chairbag by Ami Kealoha
With the portability of an inflatable chair, the groovy shape of a beanbag, and a water-resistant surface, Amsterdam-based PS Lab's debut product, the Chairbag, is just in time for summer lounging. As if all those features and the bouy-inspired design aren't enough, the PVC chair also boasts a vanilla scent—a first in furniture, as far as we know. Available in red, blue, black, silver, and white, the Chairbag runs €169 and comes in a convenient black carry bag (pictured, after the jump), which makes it perfect for camping or trips to the beach. Though currently only available in European stores, PS Lab has plans for an online store.

The Pyramids of Makkum
For years, Royal Tichelaar Makkum, the Netherlands' longest extant company, has quietly mounted the most impressive displays of ceramic ware during the Milan Furniture Fair and this year is no exception. Two years ago, they released a hugely successful collection of biscuit ware with Studio Job; last year they launched a unique office collection with Dick van Hoff, which turned the ornamental into the...

Milan Design Week 2008: Day One
While today marks the official first day of the Salone del Mobile in Milan, the crowds were already chomping at the bit yesterday afternoon in the Zona Tortona, a satellite exhibition area that has taken on as much importance as the sprawling Fiera Milano designed by Massimiliano Fuksas. The weather on Tuesday was incredible, the sky an immaculate blue, and the press drifted in...

Soul of a Nation
“Soul of a nation” is an ongoing project by the Icelandic designer Gudrun Lilja Gunnlaugsdottir, a partner in the firm Studiobility. From objects as varied as a chair, a cabinet, a coffin, a broom, or a lamp, “Soul of a nation” gives three-dimensional weight to the personalities of fellow Icelanders Gudrun has grown to know. The project began in 2004 with “Visual inner structure,”...

Fire Table
The brainchild of Dutch designers Ward Huting and Gerard de Hoop, the Fire Table aims to bring the physical and social warmth of a campfire into the living room. Its squat, round design looks vaguely like a UFO and would seem right at home in a mid-century American den. Although serving the same function as your average coffee table, it features a built-in candle...

French Bistro Chairs
Since recently attempting (and failing) to draw one of the chairs most often associated with the sidewalk cafés of Paris, my fondness for their two-color woven seatbacks and curving wood frames has grown even more. Fortunately for us stateside dwellers, American Rag's housewares division Maison-Midi carries them in a few different styles and colors. Made of wood and nylon in Italy, they start at...
