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.

Sleep Box - Mini Hotels

In Tokyo, the  Capsule Inn exemplifies the bare-essentials hotel rooms for brief use, and similar concepts are popping up at airports, train stations and down towns around the world, replacing and mimicking the “day rooms” already existing at many airports.
Unlike Tokyo’s bed-only cabins where customers climb into a human equivalent of a honeycomb for a night’s rest, Yotel pods at Gatwick and Heathrow airports in London and Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam come in larger and more comfortable formats. These self-contained mini hotel rooms are equipped with a bed, table, HD TV and Wi-Fi.

The fourth Yotel is set to arrive in New York in 2011 with a location opening on 42nd and 10th street boasting 669 luxury rooms and the largest outside terrace in any hotel in New York
Also in Amsterdam, Citizen M has a hotel with 230 mini rooms at Schiphol Airport and a 215-room hotel in Amsterdam City. Citizen M plans to open similar hotels across Europe.

Qbic Hotels has opened two “cheap chic” hotels with mini rooms in the Netherlands: Qbic World Trade Centre Amsterdam and Qbic Maastricht, plus one in Antwerp, Belgium.

Taking the next step in rest and space efficiency, Russia’s Arch Group designed the SleepBox.
 Along with an airport version of the rest pod, equipped with the usual, high-tech necessities offered by other companies, Arch Group has also designed an easy-to-relocate version fit for hostels. A small, mobile compartment, 2m (l) x 1.4m (w) x 2.3m (h), SleepBox is made of wood and MDF. SleepBox is meant to “allow very efficient use of available space and, if necessary, a quick change of layout”, making it perfect for hostels where demand and space available often come in conflict with each other. The hostel-specific SleepBox features bunk beds, flip-out tables and sockets for computers or phone chargers and not much else.

Coca-Cola x Karl Lagerfeld – Limited Edition Box Set

There is no better spokesperson for Coca ColaLight than the man who once said “Fashion is the healthiest motivation for losing weight”. Coming from Karl Lagerfeld who is uncompromising on the choice of models for his runway shows, this statement might seem ever-so-slightly controversial. However, there is no denying that the Czar of luxury and fashion would bode well with the beverage of both indulgence and restrain (all you would want with no calories?).

As such, the man who dresses women who are affixed with style and impeccable self-presentation has teamed up with the choice drink for the exact same audience to create a limited edition Coca Cola Light box set. The Coca Cola Light aluminum bottle is dressed up in Karl Lagerfeld’s side profile silhouette, with his signature suite and pony tail easy distinguishable. The box set comes housed in a specially designed box which looks like a closet, with a discreet drawer hiding an accompanying bottle opener. The box set will be previewed from April 24 at colette, and is available for pre-order now on colette E-Shop.
