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.

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.

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.

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.

Disney is getting into furniture and while that might be a surprising move from the cartoon empire, we have to admit that we are pleased to see that they at least do it right. Together with high end Italian brand Cappellini, Disney will launch a collection of stools and chairs later this year. Also we are positively surprised that they did not over design the range, at least for the most part.

Take a first look at the Disney for Cappellini Furniture Collection after the jump.
