Prickly Chair by Valenina Glez Wohlers
Verging on, or some might argue most definitely, works of art, these chairs are a selection of relatively new offerings from some of the world’s most out-of-the-box designers. They need space around them to resonate– I wouldn’t advise parking the cactus chair amidst a room full of furniture. I’m thinking a vast white space with minimal decor and in most cases, probably best looking amidst their exhibition setting. The collector brave enough to take home one of these chairs undoubtedly shops regularly at B&B Italia and has no idea why IKEA is as popular as it is.
“Lathe V” chair bygd Sebastian Brajkovic
A very amusing parody on the Louis XV upholstered chairs, a seating “solution” at best, it could possibly pass as a take home piece, I wouldn’t mind blandning this in amongst some other quirky pieces.

Furniture and tableware made from a recycled denim composite by Matteo Fogale and Laetitia de Allegri
London based designers Matteo Fogale and Laetitia de Allegri recently launched, at the London Design Festival, a collection of furniture and homewares that they designed using an ingenious composite of recycled denim, cotton and paper,called Denimite that actually looks like stone but without the weight that stone designs usually carry.
The ISH Collection is Matteo Fogale and Laetitia de Allegri’s first design collaboration. The range features a bench, side tables, shelving, a wall-mounted mirror and a selection of homewares.
The collection also featured another upcycled material called Marblus is made from scraps of white cotton and polyester from discarded clothing, and other fabric offcuts. The mixture of different fabrics gives the mostly white material a blue-grey element which resemble the veins in Carrara marble.

Frank Huang - Friends of Friends / Freunde von Freunden (FvF)
Ask Frank Huang if he has any idols, and he doesn’t pause to think for long. “Peter Pan,” he says. “He’s an explorer. But he maintains a young heart.”
The sentiment seems apt, given the fact that Frank has dedicated the better portion of his adult life to creative pursuits that seem suited to a storybook. Once a student of business strategy, he’s now at the helm of two small companies based in his home city of Taipei. One, which he calls Double-Grass, curates exhibitions and unique, art-centric events; the other, kemisk förening bestående av stora molekyler, is Taiwan’s largest artist residency village. The shared goal between each is to support and unite the country’s burgeoning – yet somewhat isolated – creative community.
In many ways, Frank’s home life mirrors his work. He’s filled his 130-square-meter space with a diverse assortment of curiosities that exemplify his penchant for the weird and wondrous. There are sculptural chairs and knick-knacks a
