Bent Plywood Chair by Ricardo Garza Marcos

2012-05-22T15:39:55Z

Inspired by the iconic Eames Lounge Chair, architect Ricardo Garza Marcos has interpreted and designed his very own version made of bent plywood - the Cuatro Chair. Although the resulting shape of Cuatro is familiar to the Eames Lounger, the construction and assembly is very different. Cuatro is made of 4 moulded plywood pieces - one for the foot rest, one for the main back and seat and two for the armrests which also wrap around the back providing support for the entire piece. Expertly and painstakingly put together by hand, each plywood piece is made of 28 super thin layers of veneer which are set into moulds and left to dry for two weeks. The final veneer finish is applied after. The chair has an elegant contemporary appeal, great for modern interior schemes. Get more information at Ricardo Garza Marcos Design.

Blown Glass Pendant Lamps by Prandina

2012-05-15T04:09:21Z

Prandina showed off four of their new blown glass pendant lamps at the Light & Building 2012 fair. We had to share them with you because these pendants are something to see. The new lamps are called Tiara, Gong, Bloom and Chorus and they all share a smooth, curved appeal. Tiara is pure elegance, and our favorite. The bottom part of the diffuser has a slightly truncated cone shape upon which a perfectly circular shape sits. Only a line of light separates the seamlessness between these shapes and gives this lamp such charm. Gong is like a cocoon; strong yet delicate encasing something beautiful. In this case, it's light. Bloom is the mysterious one; providing up and down lighting, this lamp gives off a nice diffused light to enhance the ambiance. Chorus is the one that plays with subtle angles on a cylindrical shape; depending where you view if from, its shape can slightly change on you. Go to Prandina for more details.
