The Surtur Chair by Emilia Borgthor

At ICFF 2010 in New York, Emilia Borgthor exhibited her Surtur Chair as part of the ICFF Studio for young designers to show their prototypes.

From the designer:

SURTUR is the name of the fire god in Norse mythology.  In 1963 the island of Surtsey was created in a volcanic eruption that started below sea level. Surtsey is now on the World Heritage list, UNESCO because of it’s values and uniqueness.

The inspiration came from this island and is thought of being a little habitat where the user can move around and  adjust to their activites. The human body is made for motion and it is natural to move. In addition to the physical  factors there are dynamics of space that affect people and therefore has to be concluded in the design. The act of sitting is viewed as a static in nature. Far from the truth, it involves almost continuous repositioning in order to respond  to the demands of the various activities. How each individual relaxes is unique but the ergonomics don’t change. Surtur is a new innovative chair with ergonomics in mind.

Enzo Mari Autoprogettazione for Artek

all images by juoko lehtola
Having worked on more than 2000 projects which have marked design history, Enzo Mari is probably Italy's most provocative designer. As a social commitment, through developing functional objects, he creates 'products' that celebrate an utopic world and the dignity of not alienated work. As art pieces they are brutally honest and at the same time beautiful to look at. Birgit Lohmann, Designboom's editor in chief, has studied industrial design under tutor Enzo Mari and directly after university has collaborated with him on various design projects for many years. One of her 'masters' favorite projects is his 'Autoprogettazione' series of 1974.


'Sedia 1- chair' is the first object from Mari's thought-provoking project 'Autoprogettazione'
to go into production with Finnish furniture company Artek. The original idea consisted of a series of 'do-it-yourself' instructions on how to construct the various pieces of furniture. Now, Artek offers customers to purchase a set of pre-cut pine wood boards, nails and instructions...

Artek will be celebrating its 75 years of art and technology production with a presentation at Spazio Rossana Orlandi. Meanwhile at the Triennale Museum mari will show a short documentary produced by Artek, which explains the concept behind 'autoprogettazione' and which demonstrates the building steps for 'Sedia 1'.

The Stripe Chair by Joachim King

Joachim King, a Glasgow, Scotland-based furniture designer/builder, has sent us the Stripe chair.
Although it shares a similar form with the classic Panton Chair, instead of being made from plastic, the swept curves of this chair are made by building it up in several layers, each cut from birch plywood using CNC cutting technology.
