Concrete Sofa |
This concrete Chesterfield sofa was made by Gray Concrete for the 100% Design London exhibition. The mold was taken from a real Chesterfield complete with authentic bum prints. Gray have made some stunning pieces in concrete. Turning concrete from something you walk on and ignore to something you admire for its beauty. Who'd have thunk it? |

Radiator Chair |
With temperatures in Shanghai tipping 40C, what better time to think about heaters? Jeroen Wesselink has made a chair out of a radiator. Now there's a warm seat. An action video of the manufacture is embedded below from YouTube. I've been collecting radiator links. Don't ask me why. It's just this thing I do. So expect lots of radiators this week. |

Flux Folding Chairs |
Flux Chairs fold up from flat in a few seconds. Because they can be flat packed they can be easily shipped and stored. They even have a wall mount. Cool ideas from a young Dutch company that has already won a few awards. More furniture that folds: Demo video from Vimeo embedded below. |
