First, we brought you the swinging table and now we present the Swing Sofa. German furniture designer Werner Aisslinger, of Studio Aisslinger , designed this rocking sofa for Vitra to promote a little relaxation in the office place. The A-frame structure suspends a comfy, cushioned sofa for two, where the smooth motion remains controlled. While it was made for the work environment, I think it’s perfect for a porch or a playroom

Sean Yu and Yi-ting Cheng began 22™ in 2005 with a desire to create items in both metal and concrete. Inspired by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, the duo set out to rethink ways to use such an industrial material like concrete to make everyday items like clocks and pens. The 4th Dimension Table Clock has a concrete structure where the face spirals around and down like a staircase. The hands create shadows as them move around the tiered down face

The sculptural Magistral Cabinet created by New York-based artist and designer Sebastian Errazuriz continues the artist’s investigation into the boundaries between functionality and symbolism walking the fine line between art and design. The cabinet is covered with a protective layer of 80,000 bamboo skewers. A set of concealed doors slide open to reveal its inner mechanisms and each one of its many compartments. The labor-intensive process of placing the bamboo skewers required a team of 12 woodworkers and a total of six weeks to individually hammer each skewer into the previously carved wooden structure.

Connected together like the human vertebrae, the Ardú Console Table is inspired by the skeletal structure of the body.
The support for the Ardú Console Table is made from maple, due to its light and delicate properties. The maple legs are connected together with brass spacers and topped off with sleek glass that allows for a continued visual connection.For a smooth finish, the legs of the Ardú are sealed with Danish oil.
The legs of the Ardú can be switched around, extended or shortened to determine the desired length of the console table. The Ardú Console Table is designed by Martin Gallagher, a furniture designer from Sligo, Ireland.

Maurício Arruda has designed a collection of storage pieces called José, inspired by residential Brazil and considering environmental impact. Each wooden structure holds crates instead of drawers, a nod to the markets of fruit, greens and vegetables in Brazil. The wood is FSC-certified finished with wax rather than solvent-based finishes, and the plastic bins are made from recycled plastic.

Apis is a stackable, three-legged stool designed by Alessandro Loschiavo , which will be shown in Milan from the 8th of April to the 16th of June 2010 at WhiteLabs (Via Tiraboschi 2, Milano). Inspired by the world of bugs and their sophisticated morphologic synthesis, Apis is made entirely in recyclable aluminium, it is particularly light and easy to carry, though with no abandonment of a solid and stable structure. The triangular plate seat, bent down at the apex and base of the triangle, rests on a tube frame via small rubber dampers and allows one to sit freely on the two opposite sides
