The Flux Chair

This ‘foldable’ chair called Flux, we featured on the site before, now is available in the US .
"Taking its cue from the lines of origami, Flux Chair goes from flat to chair in only ten seconds. Weighing in at only 10.6 pounds, Flux Chairs are light enough to carry around and strong enough to support up to 352 pounds. When folded, the Flux built-in handle makes it easy to transport the chair from the patio to the park and everywhere in between."


 

Origami Room: Set up day

 
 Was very pleased with the space/ site that I got a corner, approximately 4m X 3m. Ceiling lights and spot lights were all off to get into the mood of the subtle and illuminating room. Was quite a challenge to hide the horrendous hideous light wires, but managed to get tapes that is almost the same colour as the floor.

Almost.................. there.













It is pretty obvious that this work is site specific. Would prefer that it'll be in a corner and as dark as possible.

Last few touch ups!

Javier Palomares X Coffee Table

Over the period we have marked a drastic change in the stuff and designing of home and office furniture that shedding its customary looks have now turned into an essential décor for modern apartments. Developed by Javier Palomares for Dellarobbia USA, the Origo Coffee Table is yet another diversion form the stereotype, displaying a rather unusual design for a table.




The new coffee table derives inspiration from origami folds, with each face divided into three-dimensional triangular shapes that pick a different grade of light according to its angle. This results in an interesting composition of light and dark shades. The coffee table is finished with high gloss graphite and white polyurethane on CNC MDF frame, while the 10 mm tempered silkscreen black and white glass enhances its beauty. The Origo Coffee Table measuring about 42″w x 42″d x 13″h is simply a work of art by the designer.

Origami Room Structures X In progress

Thank god for the Studio, or I'll be bringing lots of heavy stuff to school everyday. My own space, my own luxury of experimenting materials and lightings.

 have you seen a part-time tailor?

Pyramids/ triangles when lights are on. Exploration is still at infant stage. Started out using paper, when I realized, the wrinkles were unavoidable and the quality was apparent that it looks too raw and not sharp. Stick to a material which has a lampshade texture, kinda liking it. Someone stop saying its "illuminati" -inspired



Up to this stage, I'm still exploring the materials. Paper was such a failure due to its crumples. I did tried on Tracing Paper and the effect that I wanted did came out, only that i had that it gets crumpled every time. Well anyway, The search for proper lighting is still on. Im trying to get the circular lighting like this.
rather than what I'm exploring now, which is this
