This time, it’s the Diamond Chair. It’s a collaboration between the two Dutchies Anna Ter Haar and Chris Bartels. This chair works in a number of levels: the design itself is very fresh. Yet what’s really cool about it is the way this chair was made; the metallic structure and a number of Velcro diamonds. Simple and sweet.
You can check out this video to see how it was made:

We don’t know if its pure coincidence (or not), but lately we’ve been running into a bunch of awesome chairs. This is one of them, designed by Abhijeete Kumar, who is based in Ahmedabad, India.

This is NL Architects’ proposal for Urban Play, a festival hosted in Amsterdam focusing on the intervention of public spaces (same festival that included Stefan Sagmeister’s intervention that we featured here a few months back). This piece is titled Moving Forest.
For this work, 100 trees were planted into shopping carts and placed in a pedestrian area of the lovely Amsterdam. The idea was that passerby’s would have to move the trees around would they want to get across from point A to point B. The members of NL Architects even toyed with the idea of these carts being stolen, and finding these trees across the Dutch Capital.
