Spun Bench

‘Bengtsson is now experimenting with a carbon-fibre spinning process originally used by NASA in the production of rocket fuel tanks and nozzles. This process enables him not only to create chairs and chaises longues in the complex curves of computer graphics, but to achieve, as he puts it, “maximum strength from minimum material” as only a fifth of the surface consists of carbon-fibre.’
Alice Rawthorn, former director, Design Museum, London.

NEST

Influenced by the spring and of nature, this chair is inspired by a bird's nest. My idea was to create a graphical chaos which still felt like a unified whole.

Nest Chair

Take a sneak peek at Pawel Grunert’s newest creation, the Nest Chair (SIE51). As you’ve probably already can guess, the design is inspired by a nest. Handmade from stainless steel, the chair is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. I have no idea how comfortable it is but if it’s anything like my steel scrubber, I’ll pass. The official premier will take place at 2011 Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan.

Magic Chair

Black Magic Collection: Magic Chair
2002, soft seat

With ‘Magic Chair’ a totally new way of creating soft seats was achieved. Technically something new was introduced, that even amazed experts working in resin and fibre technology.
By laminating a last layer of glass fibre with a flexible resin over a polyester chair (which has soft foam under places where comfort is needed) a comfortable chair was realized.
What is new is the flexibility of the resin, that this flexible resin is biological, that the flexible biological resin connects glass fibres to a foam, and that polyester resin and biological resin accepted each other.

Twist

The form is simple – bent spring steel with two blades. The spring steel allows the sharpener to expand to suit thicker pencils, and to regain its original form after use. The two blades allow the user to rotate the pencil in either direction. In this way, it suits both right-handed and left-handed people. The slit facilitates the easy removal of any broken leads, which generally tend to get stuck inside sharpeners.

Rocker™

The stylish design of this garlic crusher makes this messy task much easier. By using downward pressure and a ‘rocking’ motion it crushes garlic cloves quickly and efficiently, forcing the pieces up through the mesh of holes.

Once crushed, the garlic pieces are held in the shallow bowl, allowing them to be spooned or scraped easily into a pan. Additional cloves can also be crushed at this stage before emptying.

When finished, the unit can be easily rinsed under running water and is dishwasher safe.
