Floger by Designnobis is a simple and modern chair with its compact and unique form.
It is an example of uniformity in variety concept. It is a dynamic seating unit with its sharp lines and its aesthetic appearance differs from other seating units. It can be used in the offices, homes and fits perfectly in the dynamic spaces because of its various color options. It is stackable, closing the back rest provides smaller size and easy storage.
Ok perhaps chair wasn’t quite the right word for the Slacker… its really Fredrik Olsson and and Sam Sihvonen’s Slacker ‘throne’… part throwback to viking times… part wide comfy lounger… and part gamer etchings? With wooden engraved skulls and “Game Over” messaging along the side, there’s no mistaking this for an ancient relic. Fredrik Olsson and Sam Sihvonen are currently attending the master program at the School of Design and Crafts at Göteborg University in Sweden, and this piece was just exhibited at the Stockholm Furniture Fair… “Our aim was to try pushing the usual design furniture aesthetics to a more personalized look and load it with sentimental value. We have based the design on how we as teenagers sat while playing video games or acting as slackers. The chair is low with a stretched out upholstered seat. The design mix the styles of Scandinavian crafted woodwork with video games aesthetics resembling an Egyptian pharaoh throne.” Only thing i think is missing? Perhaps some fabric options and a side table with engraved cheat codes and holsters for your various controllers (and your beer?).
Modus will be launching some new designs at Zona Tortona during Fuorisalone 2008 in Milan this April. The eight new lines point toward a particular focus on seating and include designs by Monica Förster, Jonathan Prestwich, Paolo Notaro, Simon Pengelly and Stephen Burks. Modus also adds two new designers to its portfolio: Christophe Pillet and Patrick Norguet. Above are the Orbital chair, the Wrap chair and the Fold table. More from Modus after the jump.
