-My new favorite chair is been designed by the japanese Nendo group, well known for their material, interaction and life exploration, i'm a fan of their work, this chair doesn't disappoint. The chair is part of a collection of black wire furniture with Phillips de Pury & Company at the Saatchi Gallery in London .
TriLas is a stool with a saddle mounted on a elastomer ball.It becomes a playful and dynamic sitting experience. It's also a visually attractive product with enough character to stand out while being interesting enough to create the urge to try it, i wish i could.

-Graduation project from Guy Keulemans , by hidden the shelves behind the drawers , he created a rich and surprising experience for the user . The research involved ethnography of online atheist groups, and historical analysis of the influence of religion on aesthetics. The resulting furniture presents an inversion of aesthetic function. Shelves are hidden in the back of a chest of drawers, becoming a secret to be discovered; and superseding the secretive nature of drawers. just totally awesome. more info

The Georgeson brothers typically use classic materials and processes in unexpected ways, example : stamped steel legs for the Conrad table. definitely a new brand to follow
- The Diesel Brand together with Moroso and Foscarini presented during the Salone Del Mobile at the Diesel Penthouse a collection of sexy pieces of furnitures and lighting.I really liked the raw quality of some of the pieces.
The collection is pretty simple in form but efficient in style with the use of complex print and patterns or surface details, bringing the succesfull design language of Diesel to the world of furnitures .from extra large couch , to ultra washed out wood chairs ,they also designed some pretty smart and good looking lighting pieces, a nice collection overall.
During the launch ,i had the occasion to meet and shake Renzo Rosso's hand and spend an insane moment at the diesel Penthouse , featuring Dj, live concert, outdoor patio.. The exhibition and event details like the Patio tents or the Bed Dj booth has been realized by a company called Wink, based in netherland,which apparently work a lot with the diesel brand , and also many more.

-a while ago i filmed the incredible process of Oskar Zieta ( at the milan furniture fair 2007), basically he's inflating metallic structure, creating this unique flavor of soft looking but extremely hard and cold to touch.. A nice interview at architonic can be found through the link more infos...
"... Interrelationships between geometry, material, material thickness, welding and deformation technology (in other words 'inflation'). The objects can be inflated with water, oil or air, and in theory each fold can be precisely analysed and controlled..."Architonic
