Today we present the result of a beautiful collaboration between denim brand Denham and Scottish furniture makers Method. Inspired the history of traveling, Method constructed a beautiful steamer trunk for the jeanmaker. Both light weight and extremely robust, the birch lined trunk is outfitted with everything a jeanmaker could need. Handcut leather handles and the 200 interconnected traditional joints are only a few of the outstanding details that can be found on the trunk.

Take a further look at the trunk after the jump.

LAQ has teamed up with French fashion designer Jean-Charles de Castelbajac on their latest furniture creation. The table ‘Mingskatable’ is “born from the clash between the history of the Chinese Ming furniture, the ancien Art of lacquering and the urban culture, the table Mingskatable evokes at the same time, the Golden Age of the Chinese furniture with its sandal red base and the “street culture”.”

Made from 7 layers of maple wood, the table comes in an edition of only 8 pieces.

In an interesting collaboration, G-Star RAW has teamed up with Vitra on a chair collaboration. They chose to work on models of the late French designer Jean Prouvé. The outcome is the Jean Prouvé Prouvé RAW Special Edition Chair, which comes in two colorways and it will be launched at the hhstyle.com x SIGN x G-STAR RAW ‘JEAN PROUVE EXHIBITION’. (Via Openers)

Like most G-Star projects, the Dutch denim brand also chose this time to go with a matte grey coloring of the product, giving it a military feel.

Once again the Asia-Pacific branch of Herman Miller has been working on an interesting new project. They recently got together with typographers House Industries on a small collaborative collection of tables.

“House Industries and Herman Miller Japan announce a conceptually elegant collaboration that combines the classic Eames wire-base table with timeless typographic forms drawn from the House Industries Eames Century Modern font collection. Each tabletop is hand-printed in House’s Grand Rapids, Michigan factory, returned to Herman Miller for assembly then packaged in a special House Industries-designed wooden crate.

House Industries and Herman Miller are producing a limited edition series of 80 tables that include A thru Z, numbers and ornaments from House Industries Eames Century Modern font collection. Forty tables will be available at the Herman Miller Reach event on September 16, 2011 and 40 will be available at the House Industries exhibition at the Herman Miller Tokyo Showroom on October 27, 2011.”

A nice preview video of the exhibition is featured here below.

While we have already presented guides for Shibuya and Harajuku, there is a lot happening in between the two areas, which we explore in the next chapter of our Tokyo shopping guide.

You can easily walk from Shibuya to Harajuku, as the two are connected and only one train stop away from each other. Some places are easier to find than others, but there are so many great shopping areas in the city to explore and we would not want to miss a single one of them.

Check out our store checks that we did on the edges of the two shopping districts, featuring some retailers that you have already heard about many times here on Highsnobiety.

The full review after the jump.

In an interesting mash-up, French brand LAQ has teamed up with Darcel creator Craig Redman on a capsule furniture collection, centered around his by now popular Darcel character.

“The meeting of the founders of LAQ, Raphaël and Pascal, with Craig Redman, gave birth to a Darcel shown in 3D, a product of the encounter of contemporary culture and ancient techniques. Made of resin, wood and painted metal, mother-of-pearl and eggshell, this high definition version of Darcel, coming from a psychedelic universe, hip and disillusioned, also offers hidden storage in its eye, like the secretive stately furniture of the seventeenth century. A radical confrontation of periods, styles and ideas!”

The outcome of the collection are two stools and a sculpture, all three being showcased soon at colette in Paris. The Parisian concept store will also sell them.

Take a further look after the jump.

Moroso and Diesel continue their cooperation on Diesel Interior Products. The latest installment of the collaboration is the “Chubby Chic” Collection that we present to you today.

“designed by moroso for diesel, the ‘chubby chic’ furniture series juxtaposes ample forms and soft fabrics with the clean lines of leather and linen belting. the works were on exhibition at diesel’s ‘relics from the next future’ home collection event and international furniture show during milan design week 2011.

including an armchair, standing ‘poufs’ usable as stools or ottomans, and an oversized floor seat, ‘chubby chic’ composes part of diesel’s ’successful living’ line, designed to unite fashion, design, and functionality. each piece layers at least two colours of fabrics, in shades of gray, blue, khaki, or distressed patterns; and while the works on exhibition featured brown leather belts, moroso has also designed editions with coloured fabric cinctures.”

From Curated -

Perhaps unexpected (though also, oddly expected given the breadth of Tron tie-ins), this chair was designed by Dror Benshetrit, an NYC-based fellow, and produced by Italian firm Cappellini. The chair is made of impregnated fiberglass and polyester resin. With its angular layers, the Special Production Walt Disney Signature TRON Armchairs invite you to “sit off the grid.”

Not surprisingly, Benshetrit’s design is debuting today at Art Basel Miami. The chairs will come in a variety of paint jobs.

Check out all the color options here.

We have reported about the work of artist/sculptor Ryan McElhinney before. Here we take a look at one of his latest creations – the toy lamp.

“Ryan McElhinney turns trash into unique treasure. The Toy Lamp is made of unwanted toys which are bonded together and then coated in a high gloss polyurethane lacquer.” Via DY.

The lamp is a great alternative to the Philippe Starck gun lamp.
