Stella is an ash and wanut side table inspired by repetitive pattern construct by using the mixing between hardwood and wooden strips with technique using wedge to create tension between each strip for creating a structure which start from solid close space to open space.

Eric Chang is the creative and conceptual designer behind the high-end furniture brand,  Hellman-Chang , which he co-founded with his lifelong friend, Daniel Hellman, in 2006. Completely self-taught in design and woodworking, Chang designs artisanal-crafted pieces that beg to be touched. The company has created designs for the residences of celebrities and the social elite, and their furniture has been used in the interiors of high-end hotels such as The Setai, The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, The Waldorf Astoria, The Ritz Carlton, The Four Seasons, and The Intercontinental, as well as featured in entertainment productions ranging from Sex and the City 2 to “Gossip Girl.” Chang is certainly at the forefront of Brooklyn’s design renaissance

Designer Paul Nederend has turned his fascination for traditional woodworking into a beautiful new seat called  Chair Pole . The chair’s wooden frame, which is made of European oak, is created with traditional woodworking techniques and the seat is upholstered using a more contemporary fabric – Hallingdal from Kvadrat (1968). I love the hard and soft mixture and the bit of texture in the seat. The rounded stick-like wood legs and armrests are very Scandinavian and remind me of architectural elements found in wooden buildings like cabins.
