The London-based duo of CoWorks combined their architecture (Tom Brooksbank) and art (Allan Collins) backgrounds to create the DoReyMeFarSoLaaTiDoe  collection of four geometric objects, one being the Me-Far Bowls . The eight, waxed copper bowls can nest together or be displayed apart. They can also be stacked in a variety of ways to create all kinds of neat configurations. Each bowl starts with the same triangular base and they gradually begin to close up the smaller the bowls go in sequence – they also get smaller in size. Each piece reflects off the others to make some seriously beautiful reflections.

bitplay takes everyday objects and makes them fun and interactive. Their objects are functional and sleek, but they add just a little bit of magic — or “play” — to the everyday. BANG! Bang! Lights out! BANG! lets you do just that: shoot the lights out. You fire a gun-shaped remote at the lamp to turn it off. The light goes out and the lampshade knocks to the side, showing that it’s been hit

NETwork transforms two dimensional embroidery into pop-up furniture objects. The new design project by Studio Aisslinger combines high tech technologies and traditional stitching techniques into the captivating collection you see here. Perfectly put on its website,  ”…design evolution is always a matter of empirical experiment, materials and technology – for this exhibition we worked with a hidden traditional stitching textile technology which we transformed into a 2D-to-3D-furniture pop-up concept..”

So how is it done? The volumes are translated with software into two dimensional projections of themselves that can be programmed into machines that stitch the pattern into a carrying surface. The surface is then dissolved and the embroidered 2d patterns becomes a 3d object. The shapes formed by the stitched honeycomb structures are fitted over fiberglass molds and injected combined with resin to make them rigid and stable. The result is the unique collection you see here.

Find out even more about how it’s done at Studio Aisslinger’s website.
