Happy Back to the Future Day. (The day Marty McFly travels to in the second installment of the franchise.) The talking heads have been going absolutely tweaky pointing out the successes of the movie’s prognostications (visit Gawker to see 14 things that came true, and, yes, there’s a hoverboard on the list). Such discussion does make me wonder what things might look like in Oct 21, 2045. As for decor, who knows? But these designers definitely have/had an eye to the future. But how will their creations be measured by the test of time?
Kata Monus’s “experimental hybrid storage furniture” is a lovely confluence of hard and soft, woodworking and knitting.
Sawaya & Moroni’s “Fei Fei” chair sports some super sexy lines.
Shaun Milburn’s Babycotpod looks like it might take off–either flying or walking–at any minute.
Say hello to “Shelly,” an aluminum chair created by Peter Donders.
No word on who designed this concept piece. It might make eating a bit messy; however, a board room would never be stuffy with one of them.
More sexy lines from designer Svilen Gamolov in this figure EIGHT bar stool:
Kris Van den Berghe created a bed with a built-in canopy that serves as a screen for a projection TV. The canopy, by the way, can be removed, washed, and even used in other ways, like as a room divider.
Martz Edition’s Gamme Tube is as much a sculpture as a chair.
For a little sci-fi flicks mix, check out this floor lamp by Life Goods, which looks like an Imperial Walker. Want to dim it? Simply close the door.
And, finally, this gorgeous piece of furniture-flesh–a bent plywood wood chair. But wait! It was created by Joe Colomobo in 1965…which just goes to show that superior design can be ageless. Will the others in this roundup be so fortunate? You tell us.
Very fine. I wonder if we could get a Newton’s Cradle effect going with that swinging table and chairs piece.
@Chrisjob, it could be called bumper chairs.
