MIURA Barstool
Wed 03 2008
Name one thing about this bar stool that isn´t innovative. Whereas an ordinary bar stool is a clutter of components and materials, Miura manages with just one. And this is not just any material: reinforced, injection-moulded polypropylene is lightweight, strong and, equally important, inexpensive. With its curious, angular and, at first glance, rather uncomfortable looking form, Miura plays a starring role in the provocative oeuvre of Konstantin Grcic, a man whose universe has been the inspiration of many a fellow designer. Unlike others, however, Grcic is not all about form: the stool sits like a dream and is stackable in the bargain. A tour de force.

KADA is a transforming home product: stool, side table, and charging hub. The numerous modes and surfaces contrast the complexity of life against the simplicity of the product’s construction and assembly. It is designed for compactness, adaptability and flexibility. Technology has given us devices that are phones, MP3 players and cameras, all in a single unit. KADA reflects these changes, offering a simple form that suits multiple needs, offering multiple functions. The sturdy Kada can be used as a stool, table or tray. The hollow interior has built-in power slots.Yves Behar

The bowed surfaces were used to create slightly feminine qualities with a gesture that appeared to cradle the clothes inside. In-house
