You might not know that the world of design converge with the world of genetics. I haven't … until I read about Tomas Ekström project. Tomas, who works under the alias Kallbrand, is a designer and illustrator from Stockholm, Sweden. He has created the collection of furniture inspired by cloning. The furniture refer to Dolly the sheep, the first animal cloned by Scots in 1996. The construction of chairs and tables from the collection resembles the anatomy of sheep – especially the legs, and the first chair of the collection takes its name after the famous sheep (which took her name after the singer Dolly Parton).

 

What is the difference between a designer-mind person and a “regular” human? Only the first one would get inspired with something so unexciting and usual as shoe brush cleaner. Rémi Bouhaniche and Amaury Poudray from their design Studio USIN-e managed to create a comfortable stool having a shoe brush cleaner as an inspiration.

 

There are some furnishings which not only look beautiful and original but also seem to talk. Chairs and arm chairs by Melki are such furnishings. They invite to come and touch them, to seat on them and … to take them home. Although each of them is different – each one is an individualist – they all have something in common: they have soul and personality. Every single piece of them is like a person; with a taste and sense of humor. They like to attract attention. Prefer vintage and modern retro design when choosing their eclectic outfit. And they all have history they would like to share with you.

 

I have already mentioned about Polish Presidency of the EU Council, in the article about the official souvenirs. I would like to continue this subject and present you some of the image furniture produced for the Polish EU Presidency in a few articles.

 

These furniture fill the Presidency’s most important premises – conference rooms, offices, and places of work, leisure and informal meetings. The concept of this special collection containing few kind of seats, comfortable sofas, tables and lamps involves combining natural and traditional materials with the freshness of contemporary design. The modern manufacturing process entails innovative, technically advanced solutions.

 

The first element of this furniture system I would like to introduce is T40 by Studio Rygalik.
