Sara Leonor, associate designer at B3 Designers, will launch her first piece of functional art at Tent London tomorrow.
Sara’s desire to create sculptural volumes from geometric shapes and patterns resulted in Zeed, a striking chair that replicates a seed’s ability to grow by stacking. The unusual chair is currently available in oak, beech and steel, but can be manufactured in a range of materials. It features strategic magnets, giving stacked chairs stability.
I recommend going over to stand E26 of Tent tomorrow to see this one of a kind chair for yourself, in the mean time check out www.saraleonor.co.uk for more details.

This seemingly simple stacking chair is far more sophisticated than first glance might suggest. Through the innovative application of patented R606 polymer, collaborators Bartoli Design and Fauciglietti Engineering developed the R606 Chair for Segis. The unique quality of R606 polymer is that the surface skin of the plastic is solid, while the inside is soft. This double-density twin compound is molded around a rigid frame made of high-grade steel, providing sturdy support around a flexible and comfortable seat. The first chair to successfully use R606, it is no surprise that it was awarded the XXI Adi Compasso d’Oro.

When you’re in need of extra indoor seating for parties or events, turn to the Flat Mate by Sonja Vrbovszky. This temporary seat folds down to just 3cm thick when not in use, and is super lightweight as well.

A new project by
CTRLZAK Art & Design Studio is ‘REMEDITATE’ – a series of everyday objects inspired by the medical world exploring elements of critical irony in relation to their function and origins. The collection of clear-cut furniture, lamps and accessories composes an austere, almost clinical space: Tables supported by orthopaedic supports, chairs with a straight-jacket embrace and cutlery in the aesthetic language of surgical instruments.

This year at the International Design Week in Milan, an interesting project was presented in the Triennale:
Mezzo Terra. Two artists –
Michelangelo Pistoletto and Juan E. Sandoval – transformed the
laleggera chair by the furniture
company Alias into the boundary zone between land and sea, between art and design. The chairs are aligned around the geographical profile of the Mediterranean. Divided by the line of the coast they absorb the colours of both the water and the land. On the chairs the boundary does not divide but connect. Each chair is a unique work, signed by Michelangelo Pistoletto and Juan E. Sandoval. The total of 248 chairs delineate the profiles of the Mediterranean Sea, Baltic Sea, Caribbean Sea, Black Sea, Red Sea and South China Sea. All proceeds of selling the chairs will be donated to sustain the activity of Love Difference – Artistic Movement for an InterMediterranean Politic, founded by the most significant artist alive in
Italy – Michelangelo Pistoletto.
