Design Debate

    Now thats the word, undulating. Moscow based architect Oleg Soroko of After Form works with sections of ply to create a flowing piece of furniture. For the Murena Bench he was inspired by the sea, and in particular its' creatures.  Part of the Parametric Furniture collection, Soroko uses 18mm thick sections of plywood bolted together, elegant but secure. From every angle this seat doesn't disappoint. It kind of makes you want to recline on it as well as run all over it! Check out more of Oleg's work on Bēhance .    

  I like it when people take a fresh look at something we have come to take for granted. One hammer looks like the next, however designer Abidur Chowdhury believed  that there was a “lack of consistency between both the hammer head and handle” and set about challenging that. He wanted to create a set of household tools that were approachable, beautiful to behold and a joy to use. Instrumentum gives DIY a new visual language, one that feels more suited for our modern world.  But these aren't just elegant tools, they are smartly designed. The split in the handle absorbs some of the impact making the tools comfortable on the hand. And of course the packaging doesn't disappoint.  See more at Yanko Design .
