Furniture Made from Reindeer Parts (apologies to Rudolph).

The "A Part from Reindeer" collection by Thailand's Anon Pairot Design Studio are unique furniture designs which incorporate the body parts from reindeer. No, real reindeer were not killed for this project, but instead fiberglass casts of reindeer parts were painted either antique gold or black and made into the limited collection of benches and seats, which are available for purchase.




The pieces are able to withstand the elements so they can be placed indoors or outside. Anon Pairot can also customize the pieces with engraving upon request.

Anon Pairot's Statement about the A Part Collection:
Nowadays we are living with things full with counterfeit things, sex transforming, plastic surgery, artificial nature, richest cosmetic make-up, a man able to transform to woman, a woman affix to become a man, house is not a home, building is not just an architecture, endeavor of aroma developing beyond than its natural existed till do not know its merit. It seems to be that human is looking for maximum perfection of their life and love.

Nevertheless, pre-known of perfection should be recognize should be recognize after understanding in imperfection.

Do we need the most beautiful thing from our boundless desire? Do we try to set value of maximum beautiful to set value of maximum beautiful of the finest thing by its excess price; it does not mean that costly things reflect its owner great taste? Luxury may reflect bad taste.

Thus, Does people looking for finest material super furniture, super functional, someone’s predicted trend in modern world, best proportion which defined by small group of people?

A part exhibition is not answering all those questions. Now, question we want audiences to find the answer from their mind. However, it seems to be an undone design. Be just a thing from something we naively integrated. Be embellished from different things or inexistence combination way of these things.

Things from history, ancient are just an obsolete object we should praise or be tools for us to recreate new things from them. This project attempt to make it seems undesigned, fearless and most innocent understandable design.

Finally, a part which is done by human will not be just “a part”. Furthermore, Will a part be just a part? Does existence of our finished work available? Our dreamt beautiful life has its programmed path or just need to follow the existed social, norm, culture civilization?

Intended of “a part” exhibition is pass forward goodness message to the others more than just the best furniture design.

Modern Concrete & Steel Ping Pong Table Doubles As Indoor/Outdoor Dining Table.

James De Wulf of DeWulf Concrete has created a modern new usable ping pong table that also makes for a beautiful indoor or outdoor dining table.



Made to regulation size, the Ping Pong table dimensions are 9’ by 5’ by 30”; and can actually be used for Ping Pong, with acid etched lines that will last as long as the table and a smooth surface that provides a great “bounce”.







The table is also ideal for outdoor use because the components are impervious to moisture, salt air and freeze thaw cycles. However many have expressed a preference to use the table indoors because of its clean, simple beauty, and its smooth, buttery feel.



The stately table is defined by its top which appears to float above the legs. Incredibly thin at one inch, the table top is the culmination of all of DeWulf’s expertise in working with concrete compounds.




To put this in perspective, normal concrete would have to be nearly nine inches in thickness to achieve the same strength and durability of the one inch top that DeWulf has developed for this table.

Furniture Design from the collective imagination of Outofstock.

Outofstock is a design collective, born out of a fortuitous meeting in Stockholm, hence the name Outofstock. Gabriel Tan and Wendy Chua from Singapore, Gustavo Maggio from Argentina and Sebastián Alberdi from Spain met at Electrolux Design Lab 2005. They connected, kept in touch, and after a reunion in 2006, decided to collaborate. This collaboration grew into an integrated studio offering interior and product design services and they have not looked back since.

Below are a few results of their talented collaborations.

ARBOR:


Arbor, which stands for trees in Latin, is a compact work desk featuring five different solid woods. Ideal for small apartments and hotel rooms, the Arbor desk is suited for laptops and light paperwork.

It allows for storage through a front-opening drawer and four top-opening compartments on the table surface. The storage compartments are descending in size as one moves towards the right, allowing one to organize his/her workspace in a convenient manner. The legs of the desk can be dissembled and packed separately for convenient transportation.

UP & AWAY:

A series of lights available in various dimensions and configurations, which can be wall-mounted or suspended, look like kites made from luminous glass.


The power cable fixed to the end of its body emphasizes the impression that it is being carried on the wind. UP&AWAY lights incorporate LEDinGLASS active glass technology from QUANTUM GLASS™. Manufactured by Saazs.

AER LEATHER TOP DESK (prototype):


The AER leather and wood desk actually has office items such as a bic pen and cap and paperclips molded under the leather stitched top:



PAUSE:

An inviting piece that greets visitors stepping into the house, Pause provides those precious minutes of calm transition as one remove the shoes and slow down after a busy day. The combination of a thin folded steel sheet and the criss-crossed legs give this welcoming bench, a strong character and high strength without losing its natural simplicity.

It can also be used as a small side table where magazines or books can be placed on the shelf. Materials: Powder coated steel / Solid Oak. Manufactured by Bolia.

SHERLOCK:

A floor lamp inspired by the magnifying glass, hence the name. The light source is a ring diffuser containing twenty seven wide-angle LEDs.

An iconic, sculptural lamp at 1.9 metres tall when fully up-right, it can be used as a task light when inclined or as an ambient lamp when rotated upright.

BLACK FOREST:

Inspired by tree branches, this table is made up of two interlocking Y-shaped oak junctions and an asymmetric top (available in mirror finish or wood).

It can be disassembled into three separate parts for flat shipping.

ERASER:

Eraser brings back memories of playing with the iconic Pink Pearl rubber eraser back in elementary school.

Displaying irony between form and function, the USB stick stores data in the familiar shape of the classic ink eraser. Available in 1GB or 2GB.

HUES:

Inspired by the overlay of colors in venn diagrams, this set of nesting tables is composed of waterjet-cut low iron glass tops that are sandblasted and coloured.

Legs and support frame in painted steel. Manufactured by Ligne Roset.

COAT SHED:

Inspired by the garden shed, this coat rack is designed to welcome people into the room or space it is placed in.

A relaxed slanted position and illumination from its roof brings a welcoming presence, telling newcomers it is ready to take their coat.

WINTER ARRIVES:

Winter Arrives is a series of stools emulating the fresh snowfall on outdoor objects. With generous cushions and contrasting slim legs these pieces remind us of this phenomenon nature creates.

PLATOON:

Charlie and Bravo are table lamps inspired by plastic toy soldiers. Its curved base and expression of its tubular body gently convey the imagery of toy soldiers. Matte lacquered steel.
