Architect Scott Friedman turned to furniture-making after several years working as an architect in Denver, Colorado. Under the name Gitane Workshop , he designs and builds beautiful wooden furniture. He sent me over a few of his pieces and I fell for the uniquely constructed Coban Buffet . Just look at that base – it’s made from materials found on a farm including rusted plow heads

Dutch designer Joris Laarman will unveil new works at Friedman Benda tonight, including his Leaf Table (above) and a number of other works. If his name sounds familiar to you, he is the designer behind the bone furniture we featured back in 2007. The bone furniture algorithm revolutionized design back in 2006 — it translated the complexity, proportion and functionality of human bone and tree growth into a chair form.
