Hunting Lines designed by Daniel Becker is a sculptural seating that can be best described as a crossover between a chaise longue and a couch. It has been made with the intention to create a community seating without generating he cosy atmosphere that usually comes along with it.
Hunting Lines leaves room to breathe to you - room to think. It keeps you awake and doesn‘t let you forget where you are. It is brutal and honest, harmonic and disharmonic.
Its suface of needled felt in two colors and its rather hard upholstery underline the character of its form efficiently.
A prototype is currently being produced, but no manufacturer has been found so far, despite wide interest by design lovers all around the world.

The Z-ball by James Van Vossel is an inflatable ergonomic ball, but its 3 handles are positioned in such a way to allow the user to sit farther forward than on most balls. This supports the loin area more and results in more comfortable seating.

FutureFactories is all about the “digital generation of one-off products.” Lionel Dean took the iconic Louis Ghost chair by Philippe Starck and developed unique chair backs and arms from laser sintered nylon, based on a generative computer script, to create Holy Ghost. Each new back is derived from a virtual design template that keeps re-building itself in real time. Lionel Dean points out that the use of this chair is a “comment on the possibilities and pitfalls of digital 3D data.” Pitfalls? Well, the information can be sent and used around the world or actual 3D objects can be scanned, and as Dean comments, “We are entering an age of digital manufacturing in which iconic designs can be sampled like music. This will bring both good and bad.”
