The Cabbage Chair is created from a wrapped cylinder of pleated paper. A roll of this by-product paper was slit vertically, and a small nest of a chair was revealed by systematically peeling away each layer. Resins used during the original paper production process add strength and a bit of memory to the shaping process, while the pleats themselves give the chair elasticity and a springy cushioning. The Cabbage Chair has no internal structure or framework, nor is it assembled with nails, screws, or additional textile elements.
Tokyo-based design studios Curiosity and Tonerico brought fantasy and technology together.
The Tokyo Wonder installation, one of the works showed at the exhibition, reflected on Tokyo with a mix of fantasy and technology.

Archipelago by Charles Trevelyan from Viable
11 May 2008 Author: zenon In: Design & Products, Interiors
Archipelago was designed by Charles Trevelyan from Viable design studio.
Archipelago is a coffee table with accompanying side tables strongly graphic in its design. With Archipelago Charles Trevelyan exploates an irregular 2D form into 3D.
The resulting form toys with the idea of furniture as islands within the room, and provides the option of using parts of the cluster as side tables.
