Is it a Trend?


It is always a bit fun to see one is on the right track with an idea. A saki table with 4 extra seats is very handy when big groups descend...I thought I had been fairly original when I had this set done for my living room in white however I have noticed since then ah... originality is an elusive thing.

Red Dot Design Winner - Breathing Chair

I am wondering how Kelly Wearstler would use this chair? I'm imagining a hotel lobby sprinkled with 'Breathing Chairs'. Vincent Wolf should perhaps consider a new addition to his chair collection, while some of Axel Vervoordt's style  could perhaps dare I say it, be just a little edgier with this sculptural addition. The breathing chair is designed by Yu - Ying Wu of Tawain. Yu has just been awarded a "Red Dot Design Award" for home furniture. She is a graduate of the Industrial Design program at Tatung University in Taiwan. Some have likened it to a square of Tofu. I hope she finds a manufacturing partner soon.
