Justin Couch’s Wilhelm Coffee Table and Alexander Dining Table are classic pieces of furniture with contemporary lines that borrow from times gone by. Couch updates traditional styling with modern insets that provide a strong contrast to the white of the background. Both tables are of Baltic birch, but the Alexander table also makes use of a walnut veneer.

We were impressed with Cate&Nelson Design at IMM Cologne. Now the Swedish-based studio is showing three products at the Stockholm Furniture Fair. The Oz is a low chair that offers a variety of coloured felt to sit upon, almost like the pages of a book. When the mood changes, turn the page. The Fiat Lux lamp is also book-related, with a slot to hold the book you were reading when you turned off the light. And Tacto is a felt-covered sideboard that functions as a seat and hides a spacious drawer.
Being a big fan of Architect Daniel Libeskind, I was immediately taken by the form of the Spirit House Chair. Designed by Libeskind and Klaus Nienkamper the chair is constructed of stainless steel sheets in “interlocking, self-supporting structures, which are reminiscent of crystals”. This chair also has a ghost like reference to the the classic red blue chair that really takes this design over the top. On display at Michael Lee-Chin’s crystal Spirit House, and in the new ROM museum in Toronto; each chair comes with a custom laser-engraved signature of the designer.
