meltdown chairs - tom price

Tom Price has created a new way to sit when designing his newest series named Meltdown Chairs. He uses the same technique of heating and pressing a seat-shaped former into a ball, using different materials for each chair including polypropylene rope, PVC hose, and a stack of common plumbing tubes. All the materials begin to melt when in contact with the heated former, and when cooled a seat is made. All the chairs use no additional material and come just from the rope, hose, or plumbing tubes. Who knew something so simplistic would turn out looking so neat.

Plywood

• The Eames brothers: Charles Eames and Eero Saairnen entered a 1940 MOMA design competition and win two awards for moulded plywood pieces, setting the stage for the Eames brothers influential career of modern design using plywood
• The chair: The chair is the most popular form in molded plywood furniture with stackability remaining an important design component
• Tables, desks and stools: Contemporary plywood coffee tables, end tables and desks are gaining in popularity
• Interiors: Plywood’s perception as an honest and modern material makes it a natural choice for contemporary interiors, including panelling and kitchen cabinets
• Whimsical wood: Past and present designers have used the simple shapes of moulded plywood to express a sense of modern whimsy and the material lends itself to designs for children and pets
• Furniture and beyond: Designers have taken plywood outside of the realm of simple furniture, including Tapio Wirkkala who created plywood bowls and sculptures, and Grete Jalk who designed nesting tables and stools. Today, the Benjamin Stool by Ikea is a DIY pop culture icon
• Plywood 2.0: Plywood offers attainable and modern design and relies on historical elements like stackability and cutting from a single piece while incorporating new cutaway/layering and patchwork veneer techniques

shelving extending to ceiling

In a small condo or apartment it can be difficult to plan for or sacrifice space for storage. Still, when the bookcase can look this beautiful and become an integral part of an incredible interior hallway design … well, it becomes a much easier decision to make.  In an age of digital fabrication technologies, creating curved cuts is easier than ever – especially in already-flat materials like these plywood horizontal shelves and vertical supports. DBD design + build studio had a relatively simple task: pre-cut the pieces and then fit them together as a three-dimensional puzzle on site.  A lack of shelving space for books and collected odds and ends coupled with the desire for an artistic solution let to this wrap-around, built-in solution. The unit as a whole is built up along the wall but also made to wrap across the ceiling and create a transitional envelope of engaging and undulating space between the entryway and main living spaces of the home.
