Curated Mag caught wind of these larger-than-life fat cap chairs. “Graphic designer Sander van Heukelom has developed a new chair out of a his youthful fascination with and practice in graffiti. The fat cap chair is built in the vision of, yes, a spray can cap. Two styles are presented – one sits directly on the ground, while the other is perched on a base. Both are constructed from styrofoam with a protective coating. The project serves to draw attention to the detail of an often overlooked object. Learn more at capchaired.com.”

Dr. Romanelli is never shy to break into new grounds. In his latest project, the designer known for his vintage fabric clothing, has worked with celebrated furniture designer Doron Silverman (Nobu, SLS, etc) on a collection of chairs. The silhouette of the chair is classic and takes its inspirations from all-time furniture favorites, yet the final product is completely different from the current offering on the market. The seats have been entirely covered in cut-up vintage fabrics, the signature of Dr. Romanelli. The collection consists of overall three models.

Bless is a label like no other. Over the years they keep impressing us with their creativity and their ideas, that do not seem to come to an end and that do not seem to know any boundaries. From any other brand out there you will in most cases be able to know ahead of time what the new collection will look like, at least in terms of direction and style. We love that that is different with Bless, as every season is full of surprises.

Fashion designer Walter Van Beirendonck is selling the huge bear cupboard that was standing in his Antwerp store. The piece of furniture looks like a massive lying bear, and was housing the childrens collection by the designs. They are selling the piece right now for about 30′000 Euros. It’s a decent sum of money for sure, but then again one might consider it art.

Have a look at some more images of the piece after the jump.

Under the creative direction of Scott Cambell, Mama Tried Studios is a creative consultancy group focused on unorthodox approaches to visual media. They’ve worked with clients as big as Volkswagen, but also find time to develop unique product of their own. For example, tattooed furniture. The chair above is upholstered with hand tattooed leather. Tables are laser engraved. Pillows treated with laser etching. Mama Tried brings perhaps the most authentic tattoo aesthetic to furnishings.

This past weekend Adidas opened its massive new Beijing outpost. In celebration, a special exhibition of Dorophy Tang was mounted. Tang, based in Hong Kong and China, mixed Adidas heritage, footballing visuals and French furniture forms into her display. Unmitigated joy comes through the smiling, chubby little kids that figure in each work. Nice reminder of what the sporting life should be like. (via Think Silly).
