FlexibleLove - the extraordinary expanding chair It’s a little embarrassing when a crowd of friends descend on your doorstep and you don’t have enough chairs to seat them all. However, if you have a FlexibleLove chair - you won’t have anything to worry about. This fabulously functional chair = is constructed almost entirely from recycled cardboard and recycled wood waste and can expand to hold up to16 people! Read on, you’ll be amazed at what this single piece of furniture can do… At first glance, the design of the FlexibleLove chair seems quite simple, but once you see how quickly and easily it can be expanded and contracted, you really appreciate the complexity of its design. How does cardboard manage to hold the weight of up to 16 people? The FlexibleLove was designed by Chise Chiu, a young designer from Taiwan. When the FlexibleLove chair is first used, about two millimeters (about 1/10th of an inch) will bend, but these marks across the surface will eventually level off, leaving a velvet-like appearance.
Incredible 3D Food Printer It’s possible you’ve heard of a 3D printer – a printer that fabricates a concrete three-dimensional object from adding successive layers of material in, say, the shape of a tea pot or a bracelet. It can print an object with or without color, using polymer or plaster and can be bought online – if you’re feeling breezy about $6k (used) to $14k (new). Sounds crazy, but it’s possible that an art school near you has one — many public universities have them available for use at some small fee under architecture, engineering or design programs. Even more out of reach, yet deliciously excellent, there is the 3D Food Printer. Cornell University’s Computational Synthesis Laboratory is using gels and liquids to make whatever they can think of (most of their images feature chocolate). The program at Cornell, called Fab@Home, started experimenting with 3D Food Printing in 2007 as part of a Cornell University project to create custom objects at home with this kind of technology.
Writable – Table With Writing Surface by Tianyu Xiao Write on a Table The Writable is a fun and interactive look at how we can spark up the conversation around the coffee table. Three flip panels at the centre house chalkboards on the underside with a chalk discreetly held in place. I love the way it changes the outlook of a simple structure to something more eloquent. Definitely a conversation starter!

Fascinating Lamps by Calabarte Calabarte is the pseudonym of a Polish artist named Przemek Krawczynski, whose art takes on a peculiar but incredibly beautiful form: cool lamps. The name itself is a portmanteau of two words – art (obviously), and calabash, the fruit that carries his imagination. The calabash is a bottle gourd originating in India, although Calabarte gets his supply from Senegal. Due to ancient domestication and usage, the bottle gourd has an incredibly tough outer shell. In the past, the gourd’s usage was defined mostly as a water container, due to having a tough, smooth shell with an ergonomic shape for handling, and natural buoyancy on water. Nevertheless, it’s edible both raw and cooked, and used in various cuisines. Due to the combination of dark, thick material with a light source within, the primary art of his work, however, shines in the dark. When he’s not making cool lamps, Calabarte partakes in a number of physical activities, enjoying life through sports, travelling, and making music.
