Timothy Schreiber used an interface design technology originally developed for the film and motion graphics industry to conceive and produce these sleek new carbon-fiber chairs. Like the game theory discussed in the newly released edition of Game Set and Match II that involves the interactive exchange of 3D prototypes via email with producers across the globe, Schreiber's design process points to a new era of collaborative design that is mediated through software, no longer requiring face to face meetings. The prototypes eventually turn into the product itself after rapid e-dialogues, which result in rapid manufacturing. Aside from the innovative design process, these chairs are also really gorgeous to look at and would be a welcome addition to almost any home or office aesthetic.

by Ariston Anderson You'll be sure to make a splash of a dinner party when guests sit down on one of Amy Lau's limited edition Dexter dining room chairs. Inspired by the Showtime serial killer show, the chairs are made from white lacquered wood and upholstered in white ultraleather (i.e. vinyl). But what makes these chairs truly unusual are the hand-embroidered blood designs by Leah...
Known for their superior quality leather goods and elegant designs, luxury handbag pioneer Delvaux reached another level of sophistication by asking Belgian industrial designer Stefan Schöning to recreate his "Folder Chair" using Delvaux's black Taurillon leather. Inspired by Japanese Origami and made by hand, material flexibility was a key factor in achieving the complex folds used in the understated design. Originally made from polypropylene,...
For a chair prototype called the Conolounge, Chilean designers Onceneto tapped La Tercera newspaper for leftover paper printer rolls. A steel support provides structure and adds a fetching bright green accent. It's a clever example of creative reuse that reminds us of a less conceptual and more practical version of Julian Lwin's Biotube Bench. via Treehugger...
