Joris Laarman

leaf-table

The reason I find the work of Joris Laarman so interesting is that all of it is inspired by life sciences, and made using cutting edge technology. The combination is certainly intriguing, and it only takes a brief look at his work to realize how incredible it is.

bone-chair

Shown here is his new Leaf Table made from resin, steel, aluminum and inspired by the veins of leaves.  Also pictured is the Bone Chair. Even though it is from 2006 I still think it’s worth discussing. What is interesting about this chair, besides its name, is that Laarman actually used technology from the German auto industry to produce a chair that reduces and strengthens by optimizing material allocation, weight and stability to actually require less material.

Moonbasket

moonbasket

This stunning pendant is part of Moonbasket, a project started by designer and artist Dani Le Roy from Cape Town. This community based project involves a dynamic team of people and all natural materials like string and braids made from cotton and jute.

The unique quality of each of these lamps combines with their simple, honest look to create their luxurious appeal. In fact, the artists’ idea was to emphasize the point that crochet is one of the few crafts that can only be done by people and not replaced by machines, and that honest handmade beauty is certainly apparent here.

Small Leather Couch in Brown or White

Often with space a challenge for decorating a room it makes sense to go with items that don't dominate a room's appearance. This small leather couch fits that mold. The overall design is very simple which helps keep its appearance and subsequent effect on a room minimal. The product is called Amerigo and is available in white or brown leather here.
