Profile views of the ‘rama’ chairs architectural structure,‘rama’ is an architectural, tri-dimensional seating piece whose subtle folds and faceted surface reference origami and the japanese art of paper folding.Designed by arik levy ‘rama’ is composed of a series of plane surfaces juxtaposed in space side by side, creating an uninterrupted and smooth form — a sort of intimate, personal alcove.The armchair is composed of a double-skin construction that has an external layer of comfort giving it a dynamic look, thus making it easy to integrate into a contemporary, or classic interior. Without compromising coziness and function, ‘rama’ has a swivel base that offers additional flexibility; and maintains an appearance that is non-invasive, but sculptural and elegant.

Interact and Communicate with JUNO JEON Furniture



anigif
Netherlands-based designer juno jeon has created two pieces of furniture that aim to bring ordinary objects to live, by making them interact and communicate with their users. The humor-infused project aims to create a relationship between our space, which is full of objects, and ourselves.
 ‘Pull me to live’ is a drawer that has a special skin: when the drawer is closed, it just sits there, showcasing its fancy skin. When it is pulled, its outer layer gradually changes the color from back to front. this creates the sensation that the drawer is reaction to the human stimulus, as if it was an animal. when the drawer is pushed back, its skin changes color again.A simple gesture of opening and closing the drawer changes the skin of the drawer
by painting the skin with two different colors, the user is able to appreciate its two faces

Japanese Manga chairs - Nendo designs

Japanese design studio Nendo has created a series of 50chairs, which are each based on the abstract lines and grids used in graphics for manga-style comic books.
Manga chairs by NendoEach chair in the Manga collection is made from polished stainless steel, and is intended to emulate a design element used to illustrate emotions or actions in stories.Manga chairs by NendoAn effect line – a series of lines often used to visualise sound or action – is presented through a chair with numerous poles protruding from its back.Manga chairs by NendoManga is a style of comic books and graphic novels, typically aimed at adults as well as children, which conform to a style developed in Japan in the late 19th century.Manga chairs by Nendo"Manga is a means of expression with a high degree of flatness and abstraction, and which is composed of a series of lines," said Nendo. "We could say that manga comics are deeply rooted in Japanese culture, since they can be traced back to Ukiyoe prints developed during the Edo period in 1603 to 1868."Manga chairs by Nendo"Manga consist of a series of frames on a single sheet of paper that creates a sequence," the studio added. "Similarly, 50 standard chairs are lined up in a grid, each one conjures up a sense of story, and each with a design element from manga."Manga chairs by Nendo
In a similar way to the comics, physical aspects such as colour and texture are intentionally avoided. instead, the designers opted for a complete mirror finish.Manga chairs by Nendo"The mirror finish generates new spatial layers as the mirror surface reflects the real world, just like manga does," said the designers.Manga chairs by NendoThe 50 Manga chairs will be presented as an installation for Friedman Benda gallery, New York at the Facoltà Teologica dell'Italia Settentrionaleduring Milan design week, which takes place from 12 to 17 April 2016.Manga chairs by NendoNendo – led by designer Oki Sato – is well known for its vast annual output of products, interior design and architecture projects. Manga chairs by Nendo"I can't keep up," he said. "The more ideas I think of, the more ideas I come up with. It is like breathing or eating."Manga chairs by NendoThe Japanese studio's most recent projects include design to complement minimal interiors, and a squidgy cube that acts as an umbrella stand.
