While the "Memory" Chair by renowned Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka may not be the most aesthetically designed chair, we still can't resist covering it. Debuting at the prestigious 2010 Milan Design Fair, the chair is already creating a buzz in the design continuum thanks to its material of choice. Made from recycled aluminum, this sustainable chair is able to alter its shape according to the weight or size of the user who has parked his/her derriere on it.

Says the designer:

"This chair might remind us of the beauty in nature with its ever-changing expressions, and also create the impression as if there is no presence of design."

If Muku was about paying homage to traditional craftsmanship, the "W101" is all about the future! A concept by Swedish lighting company Wästberg, the "W101" task light employes cutting-edge technology in conjunction with a green philosophy and the end result is quite innovative. The task light has been made from a material called "DuraPulp" which for the uninitiated is a mix of paper pulp and starch polymer. Designer Claseeon Koivisto Rune assures of its durability and its ability to withstand heat. Since it integrates white LEDs with asymmetric reflectors and asymmetric diffusers, the task light is also energy efficient. You can catch the "W101" Task Light at the Milan Design Week 2010.
