Luflic had some amazing chairs at Toronto’s Interior Design Show this past weekend, really catching the collective eye with two pieces called In The Round. Both these production-ready chairs, designed by Brent Cordner, are named after the in-the-round knitting technique and over 50 feet of wool sleeve is used to cover the tubular steel frame for the felt version and 30 feet for the stitch version. The Snowshoe chair (after the jump) won an award at IDS for Best prototype and it is an incredibly light chair made from a composite of wood and Kevlar and based on the traditional snowshoe. The Meander chair is a continuous length of nickel-reinforced copper tubing that results in surprisingly comfortable sculptural seating.

Israeli designer Itay Ohaly combines clean lines and a modular concept in much of his furniture. Sheep is a table made up of several walnut and Corian tables that can be arranged in a variety of ways, inside and outside the box. The Siamese Threesome is a set of three pieces that can function as tables, chairs and stools or a bench by removing or repositioning the backrests. Crows on a wire come to mind when we see Birds, a set of lights on a string that can be set up, again, in so many different combinations.
The Swan is a desk by Louis Beliveau, one half of the Montreal design team Les Chics Types. The ugly duckling nature of raw steel is turned into a powder-coated origami swan with so many slots and spots for cables. The desk is minimalist and its built-in cable organizer and power bar ensure that it stays that way.
