Cowboy Junkie: Saddle Stool by Phuong-Cac Nguyen

Feel like saddling up? Brazilian furniture designer Fernando Akasaka just dropped word about his new Cowboy Junkie concept stool, an unusual merging of two seating options. Anyone sitting on the stool will inevitably feel like they've just rode in by horse and are saddling up right up next to the kitchen bar. It's great for a thirst-quenching drink before riding off into the sunset, or more likely the next room — if only it had wheels!

Inspired by the band, The Cowboy Junkies, the stool features a signature F. Akasaka jumping saddle designed in soft leather imported from France and comes in black, brown, hazelnut and oak bark. It's bouncy, made to withstand any horsey shenanigans that riders put it through and the saddle can be removed to give the stool stand a rest for the night. The stirrups and base are made of stainless steel.

The cleverness of the chair come from a nontraditional approach to folding, the result of the Australian industrial designer's goal of...
Clous: Urban Seating Element
Addressing the lack of places to rest one's feet in the modern metropolis, French designer Francois Bauchet seems to, ahem, have hit the nail on the head with a new urban seating element recently installed in front of the Saint-Etienne rail station in southern France. Named Clous, French for nail, the form of the design makes a playful reference to the utilitarian object, providing a...
Amy Lau: Dexter Dining Room Chairs
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.
