Look at the Lopsided dining table by Anna Van Eck: the four legs of a conventional table have been replaced in order to call for attention. While sitting at the table the legs of the two persons are becoming part of the construction and stabilise the table again - a new dining experience that invites to rethink the usual. Wow!

CUT-ON COLLECTION BY PABLO DORIGO IN COLLABORATION WITH DAVIDE RONCO
Cut-On collection by Pablo Dorigo and Davide Ronco takes its name and features from the origin of its material, to show how left-overs can turn into a fresh and finished collection of furniture.
They created two chairs. The first enhances details and parts, like bark and big knots, which in the floor production must always be discarded. The second chair, together with the bench and stool of the same family, is the result of a longer study where they wanted to create a more industrial and reproducible product. Wonderful!

A ROOM FOR ONE MORE BY STUDIO BEN ALLEN
Look at the project A room for one more by Studio Ben Allen for a flat in London’s Barbican Estate.
They work on a solution to convert the existing dining area into a second bedroom by inserting a single architectural element that served as: wall, door, living room storage unit, drop down desk, home office storage, bed, child’s desk and seating area. We love this design solution that is intended to provide a high degree of flexibility to allow the growing family to continue living in a loved but modest sized flat.
