Today I bring you the fabulous work of Melanie Porter. Familiar yet suprising, it’s her combination of classic design with unexpected elements that really caught and continued to hold my attnetion.

Melanie worked as a knitwear designer for 10 years, and that influence is clearly seen here.  After working with intenrational fashion, Melanie moved on to create the furniture you see here.  Each starts as an existing chair the designer find and is then rehopohlsted to be a unique work of art.  See more from Melanie here.

Cool Chair Concept

cube-chair1

The Cube Chair by Svilen Gamalov screams modern design with its unique shape and bold color choices. Interestingly, the designer credits 1950’s design as well as popular elements from today with inspiring this unique design. No matter what its inspiration, I’m pretty sure this chair is on its way to plenty of attention.

CeramiX by CTRLZAK

CTRLZAK will be presenting CeramiX at Milan Design Week 2010, a project that explores the key elements in the creation of Chinese and European ceramics. During the first phase of the project, original ceramic pieces of both origins were chosen, sliced in half, and put together so that East meets West.

Jarl Fernaeus

redux-table

Not your every day sideboard, but definitely an intriguing design.  The Redux Sideboard comes from Stockholm-based designer Jarl Fernaeus, who says he is largely inspired by typography.  He strives for balance is each piece, which I think can easily be seen here. This sideboard combines Corian with powder coated sheet metal detailing for a slight industrial look. The two elements perfectly contrast each other, while creating a look that’s unique enough to get noticed but still practical enough for everyday use

Vexell

Vexell creates modern furniture made from bent steel, wood, as well as lacquered finishes. The piecing together of contrasting elements, such as glass with steel, makes it more interesting. http://www.vexell.com
