Flakes Designers Chairs MYchair, Walter Knoll Design : Ben van Berkel MYchair, the new lounge chair from Ben van Berkel / UNStudio will be presented for the first time at Orgatec 2008 in Cologne, 21 - 25 Oct. MYchair is the first chair designed by Ben van Berkel/UNStudio and is described as a real architect's chair. "The architectural approach to furniture is different from that of the industrial designer as the architect begins with the space and the environment that the chair will become a part of. All the details of the chair are considered for their spatial effects. This architectural approach to furniture is connected with a very personal ideology of space." - Ben van Berkel Walter Knoll chair Genesy lamp for Artemide Design : Zaha Hadid Architects The lamp’s structure increases in complexity as it rises from the floor. Like a growing organism, the central support sprouts branches that adopt a greater radial geometry to enhance the dynamic tensional forces of the structure. Nature continues to inform the design as these branches frame voids, enhancing the contrast between positive and negative, convex and concave, tension and compression.
