Linfa bookcase by Forme di Sophia

toma — Fri, 10 Jan 2014 16:18:16 +0000

Linfa is something more than a bookcase. It touches the very meaning of a “real” metaphor made up of only two essential materials: wood, and books. For the sense of its leaf shape is clear and complete only when the books are actually placed in the appropriate spaces, as key elements of the structure.
Books, therefore, like lifeblood, able to filter and process existence through a spiritual process of photosynthesis, essential to the human spirit.

Rising Table by Robert van Embricqs

toma — Tue, 10 Dec 2013 11:59:10 +0000

Architectural & Furniture designer Robert van Embricqs about the project: “A conscious choice for functionality in design, doesn’t necessarily mean one has to be burdened by conformity, let alone predictability. The Rising Table ignores the cliched notion that a table is little more than a flat surface that is held up by four separate legs. The result is a surprising mixture of fluid design that blends the multifaceted tabletop with the latticework of wooden beams that function as the center of the construct. From there, the table sprouts four wooden beams that hold up the entire construct. Not only does this design approach rid itself of every single predictable feature when one imagines a table, it also emphasizes that the Rising Table is indeed made from a single piece of wood. This proves the Rising Table isn’t merely an eye catcher when it comes to design, it can also hold its own as a functional piece of furniture, albeit with a twist.

Sidenote: the applied construction techniques to create both the Rising Chair and the Rising Table, emphasize on its relative applicable ease for production on a mass scale.”

Yuka is a writer and designer from Queens, New York. She received her bachelor’s in business management from Stony Brook University, and holds a degree in exhibition design from the Fashion Institute of Technology. In 2008, Yuka looked in the mirror and didn’t like what she saw. Always feeling like there was something missing from her life, she had turned to excess, amassing a mountain of clothes, shoes, bags, and random tchotchkes to fill the void.

Puzzle Stool made from sustainably produced, plantation-grown sheesham wood, each stool can go solo or be grouped together with others to complete a cluster perfect for whatever room you set them in.
