Furniture Envy: Modern Organic
These pieces of furniture belong to the category of art/architecture/interiors/furniture design that I like to call Modern Organic. It’s a perfect combination of modernism with its simplicity and a focus on materials, and art deco, abstract organic interpretation, all comprised of natural materials. Designer John Reeves

Furniture Designed By Robert van Embricqs
The Rising Frniture line is some brilliantly designed furniture by Robert van Embricqs. The latest in the collection is the Rising Side Table where the piece goes from flat to a completely unexpected end table. The tabletop appears to be floating over the base of the table when actually the brackets are cleverly hidden. The base is made up of wooden beams that fan out in a fluid-like nature that in turn hold the table up.A new hinge system holds all the pieces together making it easy to put together or flatten. A great design.

Keyboard Bench
As weird as this idea seems, sitting on a bench made up of millions of keys can be more fun and comftable then it originally felt as an idea.Designer Nolan Herbut created this piece of art by actually recycling and mounting around 2000 keys on a baltic birch wood bench thus doing our butts and our environment a huge favor, first by reducing the high amount og E-waste we generate and secondly by giving our bum a nice and cosy place to rest upon.
The Icelandic Magma Flowers
Designer Gudrun Lilja Gunnlaugsdottir of Icelandic design group Studiobility has created Lava Flowers which are symbolic of Icelandic mythology.This figure have been made by 40x40x40 cm cube of solid Icelandic Lava that was jet-cut with water.
As Gunnlaugsdottir' said,
'The lava stone was taken where a new road is being laid and turned into nature/story again. In Iceland we believe the 'hidden' people live in the stones.'
The stone flower are representative of homes of these mythological people and therefore special to the culture.
In most of the cultures, trolls (people living in stones) are usually considered to be ugly and habitants of swampy areas whereas in Iceland they are believed to live in beautiful rock formations as these.
This artistic creation will be on display at ToolsGalerie in Paris during January

The Flax Project
The Flax Project started in 2009 with a collection of products that Christien Meindertsma designed for Thomas Eyck. The collection was made in collaboration with traditional ropemaker Touwslagerij Steenbergen and woodworkers Kuperus & Gardenier. Flax is a material which used to be one of the most important textile fibres in the Netherlands, it was grown and processed into all kinds of textiles. Nowadays flax is farmed in much smaller quantities and is mainly shipped to China to be processed further. With the Flax Project Meindertsma aims to make a series of products from flax that are produced locally. From the seed to the end product.
In march 2010 farmer Gert Jan van Dongen sowed flax seeds on his farm in the Flevopolder. The seeds grew into plants and were harvested in the end of the summer of 2010. Christien Meindertsma is currently developing the harvest of the whole lot into end products. The first results are currently exhibited at the Zeeuws Museum in Middelburg.

BROOM CHAIR
This dismountable chair was inspired by how brooms are assembled, offering the maximum simplicity to mount. We tried to bring the idea of making the maximum with the minimum to the extreme. On the other hand the project also focused on how shipping using a minimum space and consuming minimal material for packaging while providing easy storage and stockpiling. The chair is composed by a polyurethane seat and nine wooden screw top sticks. The sticks are screwed directly to the seats. The fact that this project does not require the use of glue, nails, screws, metal components, etc, contributes to the improvement of the manufacturing process When dismounted it can be stored in a minimum space.

Designed by Carlos Motta
I love this desk by Carlos Motta, which looks like it’s been partially drilled into the floor. It’s not one of his newer works, but it’s a sample of the expansive and non-stop imagination that this Brazilian furniture crafter and architect has hidden up his sleeve. His rocking chair, the Astúrias, starred in last month’s Brasilia Design Expo and is masterly constructed with wood planks joined together to form a solid panel of the chair connected to the rocking base. Motta grew up on the beach in south Brazil, where he would turn the pieces of wood the ocean carried ashore into viable, functional pieces. His career path’s led him to create mostly things your tush would appreciate (see the curvy, low-slung Cuica above) with the odd desk and cabinet thrown in for good measure.via joshpear.com
Color Coated Wood Chair Traditional And Modern by Ian Spencer and Cairn Young
Is palpable in modern art where the artist has deviated from what is often regarded or ‘normal’. An explicit representation of these deviations can be seen in modern furniture design as well. Gone are the days when wooden chair, regular or a chair that looked like what they ‘should’ look like that is received by us All that buyers are more daring will find it, perhaps, more striking colors in modern furniture items to make a statement or a small deviation from the usual style. However, tradition has actually been cast aside now to make room for modern furniture that show new ways of seeing things and glorifies the artist’s spirit of experimentation.via joefurniture.com
