The idea is to create design objects (with high prevalence for chairs) with material from the road, metal nets, signs, pallets, walls and all that you can make an interesting piece of design.

The project is on the border between the urban art and design semi-industrial and even if not new (the basic principle is the same bags Freitag ), the study of Amsterdam, however, has found a way to re-invent objects without losing the quality and design.

Here are some more details from the designers:

Designed specifically to be downloadable in order to reduce environmental issues related to transport, costs of stock keeping and explore collaborative design and distribution, this furniture can be edited in size and materials, is made on location or can be self-made by downloading the blueprints.

The concept was to turn the pieces inside out to make construction simple, while brackets and structural details become distinctive and attractive features.

The connections are 3d printed to suit various sizes of wood, and the crafting is minimal requiring only cutting to length and drilling.

Material: wood, polyamide

dsgn | fragments of nature - lex pott: "is my table alive?"

 

Lex Pott brings together industrial design and organic natural elements in these tables.

The wood processing industry works according to a fixed pattern: a tree is stripped of its branches and divided into geometric forms.  Lex Pott combined these industrial, geometric forms with the original, organic structure of a tree in a series of items of furniture.

dsgn | quand jim se relaxe - matali crasset

French designer Matali Crasset has designed a chair and footstool with chunks of upholstery slotted into a plywood frame for French brand Domeau & Pérès.

Called Quand Jim se Relaxe, pieces of foam wrapped in leather make up the seat and backrest.
 

These are divided by gaps to accommodate the slotted-together wooden frame.

Photographs are by Fred Dumur.

dsgn | ABChairs - roeland otten

Rotterdam designer Roeland Otten has designed a collection of 26 chairs, each spelling out one letter of the alphabet.

Called ABChairs, the seats can be arranged to form words.

The prototypes of the chairs are made of lacquered MDF, however the designer intends to produce them using rotational moulded plastic.

Photographs are by Bas Helbers.

Here’s a little bit of text from Otten:

……………………………………………………………

ABChairs, an alphabet to sit on and chairs to form words with. These are the first 26 prototypes made of lacquered MDF.

dsgn | david taylor makes scaffold became object

Designer David Taylor has created an LED lamp using a clamp, folded tube and a found yellow shade.

Taylor has created a pair of candlesticks each made of three silver tubes clamped together by a found plastic component to form a tripod.  

The text below is from David Taylor:

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

My work with complimentary interior objects is made on a very small scale. Often made to order and place specific. This lamp utilises a dimmable LED unit giving a good reading light. The shade is plastic, cannabalized from a fleamarket find, as are the plastic construction elements. The candlesticks are made from silver, the light source here being of course a candle.

Made for a private client as part of a larger interior project.

dsgn | when simple is simple - kink osko+deichmann

Berlin design duo Osko+Deichmann will present a collection of tubular steel and pine furniture at Helmrinderknecht Gallery for Contemporary Design in Berlin later this week.

 

The complet set include chair seats and backs, table tops and shelves.

The project will be on show as part of an exhibition named Funktionale Beschädigung – The Beauty of Deliberate Kinks, Dents and Bends.

The text below is from Osko+Deichmann:

---

On show is a family of tubular steel furniture called “Kink”. The tubing used in the furniture is not bent – as is normally the case – but rather functionally folded, dented and kinked.

The chairs, tables and other furniture derive their final form and function by means of this intentional process of “damaging” the tubular steel.

The process’ traces, which would normally be regarded as defects, are in fact integral to the design.

The chairs, tables and other furniture derive their final form and function by means of this intentional process of “damaging” the tubular steel: the process’ traces, which would normally be regarded as defects, are in fact integral to the design.

For the exhibition, “Happy Birthday Bauhaus”, we created the “Straw Chair”, a functional homage to the classic Cantilever Chair made of kinked, tubular steel.

A second four-legged and stackable version of the “Straw Chair” was introduced on the occasion of the Stockholm Furniture Fair by Blå Station in 2010. It was bestowed the +1 Award for the year’s best new product.

The “Kink” series consists of a table, chair, writing table, cantilever chair, sideboard, shelf, coffee table and floor lamp made of tubular steel, pine wood and clamps.

All exhibited objects are part of a small limited edition and exclusively available at HELMRINDERKNECHT contemporary design gallery.
