Tim Lewis

 

During a week of unprecedented world temperatures, oceans like baths and  hideous fires destroying beautiful Greek Islands the haunting automata of Tim Lewis seems unbearably poignant.  Especially with its regal pangolin striking the doomsday triangle atop an upturned dead Christmas tree. . .  humanity what have you done and what are you doing?

Juno Jeon I

Pull me to life is the result of Juno's research into movement, resulting in a cabinet that looks like you are ruffling it's feathers when you open it.

"This drawer has special skin. When the drawer is closed, it is just a normal drawer with fancy skin. However, when the drawer is pulled, the skin slowly and gradually changes the color from back to front. It seems like the drawer is reacting to outer stimulus as if it is an animal. When the drawer is pushed back, the drawer changes the skin color again as if it falls asleep again." Juno Jeon

John Edmark

John Edmark has an engineers inagination that I like to think looks like one of Echers most complicated maze like works. His precision laser cut designs are quite incredible, their kinetic qualities are stunning and amazing.

Renier Winkelaar

Renier Winkelaar has long had a fascination for wooden cogs and mechanics stemming from a love of traditional windmills. Renier loves the way such old technology and techniques can come alive and automated. He wanted to incorporate these features in his furniture and has thus created this oak extending table.

The fantastic walking table by Wouter Scheublin "The walking table is a carefully crafted piece of furniture that shows the beauty of mechanics. When pushed, the table comes to life and mimics a natural walking motion, perplexing our perception of the ordinary static piece of furniture." You can see it in action here. (Thank you)
