Cabbage chair

Cabbage chair

nendo designed the cabbage chair for XXIst Century Man exhibition curated by Issey Miyake to commemorate the first anniversary of 21_21 Design Sight in Roppongi, Tokyo.
Miyake asked us to make furniture out of the pleated paper that is produced in mass amounts during the process of making pleated fabric, and usually abandoned as an unwanted by-product. Our solution to his challenge transformed a roll of pleated paper into a small chair that appears naturally as you peel away its outside layers, one layer at a time.
Resins added during the original paper production process adds strength and the ability to remember forms, and the pleats themselves give the chair elasticity and a springy resilience, for an overall effect that looks almost rough, but gives the user a soft, comfortable seating experience.
Since the production process is so simple, we thought that eventually, the chair could be shipped as one compact roll for the user to cut open and peel back at home. The chair has no internal structure. It is not finished, and it is assembled without nails or screws. This primitive design responds gently to fabrication and distribution costs and environmental concerns, the kinds of issues that face our 21st century selves. Thus, the cabbage chair fits active, optimistic and forward-moving "21st century people", the kind of people who, to borrow a concept Miyake expressed during a meeting with us, "don't just wear clothes, but shed their skin".

OneLessDesk

At one time, you needed a desk that could handle a mountain of paper, a two-foot-deep monitor, a printer, and a CPU the size of a Labrador. Today, your entire computer is an inch thick and your printer (which you only use to print boarding passes) is in your closet connected to your WiFi.
You have moved forward. It's time your desk caught up.

Verner Panton panthella table lamp

 “The main purpose of my work is to provoke people into using their imagination.”- Verner Panton.
Created in 1971, Verner Panton’s Panthella is one of his more popular designs.
The basic light principle aimed to create a lamp in which the base as well as the shade would act as a reflector. The lamps light source is hidden under a milky-white, hemispheric acrylic shade and a white, trumpet-like base contributes to a beautiful distribution of light and a well balanced form.
Design Verner Panton, 1971.
Made in Denmark by Louis Poulsen.

Ecofriendly Seats by Regina Sigmaringa

Ecofriendly Seats by Regina SigmaringaEcofriendly Seats by Regina SigmaringaThe future is green! And red, blue, yellow, orange... The natural fibre/polyester resin Ecofriendly Seats offer a fresh take on material, form, production and aesthetic. The concept for Ecofriendly Seats is based on the relationship between material (resistance and comfort), form (ergonomics and usefulness), production (viability) and aesthetic. Ecofriendly Seats are made with natural fibre raffia reinforced with polyester resin rather than fibreglass. This new composite material is produced with 50% vegetable resources (raffia) and 50% mineral resources (resin polyester), making an important contribution to the conservation of the environment. The seat part is made with non-reinforced raffia fibre (not mixed with polyester resin); it possesses the necessary length, resistance and smoothness to guarantee comfortable seating. Ecofriendly Seats can be developed into chairs, armchairs and sofas. The simple curves of the overall shape (inverse ”u”) make it possible to stack the seats, and production requires a simple mould of just two parts.
