Herman Miller Furniture
Starting in October, Herman Miller will offer a special limited run interpretation of its classic Eames Wire Base Low Tables (Eames LTR) in three colors that pay homage to Ray Eames on the 100th anniversary of her birth. Although it is difficult to distinguish the individual contributions of a creative duo such as Charles and Ray Eames, Ray clearly brought a gift for color. Herman Miller has chosen three bold colors for this years Select Edition program that were Ray's favorites and used on the exterior panels of Case Study House #8, which she and Charles designed. The tables will be sold through the Spring of 2013, and then cease to be produced, giving these tables added appeal to collectors.
Please note these tables will only be available in the US and are not being shipped out to other countries.

Contemporary Furniture News - Design Copyright
Information provided to e-architect:
The Government has recently announced a change in the Law for Design Copyright from 25 years of first production to 70 years from the death of the Author.
This means designs already out of copyright for 30 years will be given back protection.
The largest sector affected with be the Furniture industry where iconic pieces of furniture now affordable through reproductions will no longer be available.
we believe the law perhaps should be changed from the day it is passed to all designs going forwards or from 1988 (covering items just reaching 25 years).
However, it should NOT be applied to anything that precedes this date as the protection has already long run out.
Giving back this protection will damage legitimate business leaving thousands out of work in the UK and gives a monopoly to the handful of companies who are allowed to buy licenses to sell these designs at inflated prices.

Seating Design

Design: Sybarite Architects

Archetto Firenze
Presenting a solution for communal seating which is adaptable on many levels, the Archetto was initially designed for the Buyer's Club at the 2011 Pitti Uomo, a large fashion trade fair held in Florence, Italy. The brief was to make the best use of a small temporary space, to give substance and luxury to what could otherwise be boring and nondescript.

Flakes Designers Chairs
MYchair, Walter Knoll
Design : Ben van Berkel
MYchair, the new lounge chair from Ben van Berkel / UNStudio, is an example of architect-designed contemporary furniture. MYchair is the first chair designed by Ben van Berkel/UNStudio and is described as a real architect's chair.

image from designer
"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

Genesy lamp for Artemide
Design : Zaha Hadid Architects

picture from architect
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.
