Pinha proposes a playful approach to lighting through personalization.
This hanging lamp consists of a cork outer fixture to which a printed-paper shade is fastened. You have the last word on how Pinha looks, by choosing the shade from among different patterns and drawings. Function-wise, you can also decide on the direction and range of the light, according to where the shade is pinned. Cork’s low thermal and electrical conductivity ensures that you can handle the lamps shell in perfect safety. Making things even more interesting is the fact that the shade and its placement can be changed at will, according to your mood, the task you are performing or the ambiance you want to set.

Can You Imagine? Alcantara®, Power of a Material
A double size hammock made out of five laser-cut Alcantara® sheets in different colours.
Alcantara®, is a flat material that mainly comes in solid colours. Laser-cutting Alcantara® in various colours and then placing it in layers one on top of the other results in multi-colour pattern combinations that can be applied in many products. The process can almost be compared to screen printing where each layer is printed in only one colour, but colourful results can be achieved by adding many layers together.

A collection of furniture assembled out of interlocking iconic urban benches into a plaid surface.
Stripes arrangement is a common element in iconic benches. Many of the very common archetype benches happen to be shaped in this way. Stripes are also the fundamental element in textile check/plaid pattern where they arranged together in a vertical and horizontal fashion.
Making a graphical connection, Raw-Edges created this large set up of different wood benches that interlocked to each other perpendicularly in order to achieve a Plaid/Check patterns.
Actually… this project is great an excuse to play with combination of colours textures and materials.

Long strip of felt is coiled and formed into a three dimensional body. One side of the felt is being left in its natural softness, where the other side is saturated with silicon. The felt observes the silicon into its fibres and together they set into a hybrid material with structural build.
The principle has been inspired by composite materials, a combination between bonding and structural materials, similar to reinforce concrete or the ancient cob set from mud and straw.

Stripes arrangement is a common element in iconic street benches, whether it is wood, metal or plastic; many of the archetype benches happen to be shaped in this way. Stripes are also the fundamental element in fabric check pattern where they arranged together in a vertical and horizontal fashion. Making a graphical connection, Raw-Edges created large set up of benches that interlocked to each other perpendicularly in order to achieve a Plaid/Check patterns.
For the installation organized by The Lollipop Shoppe at the Old Spitalfield’s Market duration the London Design Festival 2010 three types of benches has been chosen: White painted plywood benches which were mostly common in public nurseries throughout our childhood years, urban stripy pine bench and solid rustic wooden bench. The benched have been painted to achieve the finished plaid pattern and were machined as well so they could be connected into each other in a cross lap joineries.

A technique similar to that used in the clothing industry is applied to furniture. A pattern is generated and when assembled, the resulting void is filled with foam. Just as a suit is altered to fit the client, the furniture is custom made and adapted to fit the user be they tall, short, skinny or fat.
The process is unconventional in terms of industrialised furniture, in that it proposes a construction technique without a mould. The pattern itself becomes both the defining surface and the mould. In a sense it is a reversal of upholstery in which normally a skin is applied over the stuffing.

The collection made out of oak veneer filled with foam. Each piece is prepared to expand the foam inside, a process that crinkles the veneer in a way that makes each piece unique.

in an 18th-century building on via Santo Spirito, spans 1,800 square feet over two floors. The ground floor is covered in oak parquet arranged in a multicolored pattern created by Israeli designer Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay for Established & Sons.
Architect: APA London

Alkalay & Mer have drawn on inspiration from their commission earlier in the year to design an installation for Design Miami/Basel 2009. After winning the Designers of the Future Award the design duo have collaborated with Established & Sons for a second time following on from the international success of Stack launched during Milan 2008.
Established & Sons LIMITED will house an innovative installation of oiled oak herringbone parquet brick flooring. Taking a time-honored floor type, Alkalay & Mer have developed the traditional finish by staining the individual bricks from a pallet of 15 different colours. By taking an everyday product and twisting the core element of it they have developed a very characteristic mosaic design.

Borrowing a technique used in fashion production, Raw-Edges folds and re-folds DuPont™ Tyvek® to create a series of plush seats. The method of pleating allows the flat, non-elastic material to become a springy, three-dimensional cushion when filled with soft polyurethane foam.

Raw Edges are inspired by the specific design language of Fisher Price Toys from the 1970's. Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay have chosen one of the ultimate symbols of high quality, brightly coloured, highly finished plastic, which during theirs and many childhoods typified homes across the world. Fisher Price toys with their plastic properties of durability and myriad shape and colour possibilities were seen on every nursery floor, a positive symbol of a plastic manufacturing age.

In this modern twist on a beloved design language, with Plastica Nostalgia Raw Edges have created works which look like they are plastic, brightly coloured and highly finished, but are in fact made from carefully crafted beech wood. Plastica Nostalgia’s emotional value lies in the treasured memories the old pieces of Fisher Price plastic evoke. These elements assume a new life at the centre of a piece of contemporary furniture. Plastica Nostalgia has ‘Alice in Wonderland’ qualities as the scale of our childhood toys, now dwarfed by adulthood, regain some of their stature in this sympathetic environment.

All of the usual characteristics of a chest of drawers have been challenged by Shay Alkalay in his design for Stack. Most usually a chest of drawers consists of an exterior frame, back panel and series of individual drawers with runners. The height of the unit is limited to the size of the frame and the drawer can only be opened in one direction. Stack escapes these formal confines through the application of an entirely new arrangement. These individual, multi-coloured, floating drawer units make use of a centrally placed frame. Upon this a tower of drawers that can be pushed and pulled in both directions is built. The random and irregular pattern created by the positioning of the drawers creates a rich and wonderful spectacle of colour and kinetic form. Stack can be appreciated as a sculptural object as well as an entirely functional, practical item of furniture. Stack is offered in two standard sizes and three colour palettes as well as wood veneer finish.

Invited to create 12 unique table centers for the Designs of Year exhibition awards ceremony at the Design Museum London, OKAY studio and friends decided that the guests could benefit from a little light hearted dinner time foolishness. Each table center plays or encourages the guests to play with their food (hurling it across the room at the other guests, piling it up in the middle of the table, wearing it on their heads…). The 12 of a kind table centers reflect a playfulness with typologies that is at the same time both familiar yet unexpected. Designed by Raw-Edges:

This surprising cabinet is ideally suited to storing small items and everyday necessities in order to make sure these are always in the same place. Very useful during morning rush hour at home! The solid wood cabinet is built on tall legs and features two drawers. The innovative aspect of this cabinet is the fact that the drawers can hinge, making it possible to open both at the same time, which is impossible with a conventional set of drawers.

The seats are made out of big sheets of pattern paper or wallpaper, filled with expanded polyurethane foam. The folded structure acts as a mould and as an "upholstery"; after being shaped the empty paper chair is steady enough to hold its form and enable polyurethane casting.

A growing collection of adjusted furniture with drawer Simple runner attachments that allow a drawer to be added to any flat surface.
“Two lines with 15° slant are cut into the surface and a sheet of metal is inserted into each in order to have the wooden drawer then simply wedged between them.” Anna Bates, Icon Magazine October 2007

The rocking slippers are a hybrid of a domestic shoes and a small rocking stool, they developed under the title of "body extension", where a wearable item gets almost to the territory of independent product.

The evacuation skirt was done just after the storm in New Orleans.
The skirt keeps its glamorous look when it's deflated on the one hand, and on the other it inflates into a kayak with the right amount of volume to carry a grown up woman. I wanted to raise the question of emergency and beauty and to explore whether they can meet each other.

The Head Hand Bag enables its (females) users to experience a sense of victory without the need for violent action. This project explores the ability to translate an object into a story and a story into a product. The biblical story about Judith and Holofernes and its visual representation from the Renaissance were inspiration for the design of the bag.

A Giant wall mounted revolving fish bowl allows your dearest pet to travel the polluted ocean from the comfort of his own home.

Iron-On stickers that turn unsightly stains into attractive doodles. An alternative way to prolong the life of stained clothes.
A postcard sized sheet that would be enough to rescue at least 4 different stains.

A simple employee at the council rubbish disposal services had a peculiar imagination: he could see teddy bears in every object he observed. As a child he would stare at the clouds imagining that he could see teddy bears in the sky… and today...everywhere, even the black bin bags looked like teddy bears to him.
No one at work could stand his excited cries every time he shouted 'look at that bear...look at that one...don't throw it into the garbage crusher… nooooo!..'
Of course he was fired from his job, lost his family and friends and became homeless. Yet even though many people thought he was strange, none of them would admit that they too saw the teddy bear bin bags dumped around the streets of London.

Imagine a place where objects are moving, responding to gravity, turning upside-down and continually changing their position so as to remain parallel to the Earth. Imagine a space where furniture is fixed to the wall and once needed you simply bring it to you.
'A day in a life' is a spatial design project that deals with living in this different condition. The floor has been transformed into a spinning wall.

These three different milk cartons distinguish between the rates of fat in the milk by using form rather then colour. The form of the milk cartons reflects in a way on the milk’s texture and smoothness. The two back folds are used as the carton's handle, while the two in the front function as the spout.
