British metalworker Adrian Rayment of RaymentWire has sent us some photos of the Matet Bench
he has created.
Adrian says:
Matet is a hand crafted geometric bench finished in etched galvanised steel, who’s design was inspired by Egyptian burial boats and memories of a mirrored whale skeleton.
Contemporist readers might remember that we also featured RaymentWire’s Hero Chair + Stool back in March of 2009. You can see that post – here.
German designer Martin Ballendat has created the AURA bed for the manufacturer, ACCENTE.
From ACCENTE:
The beauty of AURA lies in its harmony of contrasts. The inviting sleep surface flows gracefully and effortlessly over a compact, flat base which can serve as a space for reading material or for breakfast. A charming detail are the side inlays which reiterate the colour of the base and accentuate the evenly curved linear design.
ACCENTE will be exhibiting the AURA bed at the upcoming 2010 IMM Cologne furniture show.

Today we received a copy of the recently published book featuring a decade of work from architect Stephan Jaklitsch. The book is titled “Habits, Patterns, Algorithms,” and it shows off the various projects Stephan Jaklitsch has completed between 1998 and 2008. Each project is presented with a description by the architect, as well as photos, layouts, and sketches. Many of the projects are of the various Marc Jacobs stores that Jaklitsch has designed over the years, but there are also a few residential projects, as well as some concepts and proposals for projects that we assume were never completed. This book would be especially interesting to anyone who enjoys retail store design

London based designer Tim Fishlock has created the What Watt? chandelier.
Tim says:
What Watt? is a memorial to and a celebration of the humble incandescent lightbulb. It’s a spherical chandelier, 1010mm in diameter made up of 1243 suspended bulbs of various shape and size, illuminated by a single low-energy light source. By 2011, all forms of incandescent light bulb will have been phased out in favour of greener alternatives. What Watt? marks the passing of a beautiful design that has remained relatively unchanged since its invention 130 years ago.
Designed and fabricated for a private commission. I will be producing an edition of ten.
You can watch a time-lapse video of the construction – here.
Greg Gehner, the owner of Transit Forge, a metalworking studio in northwestern Pennsylvania, has created the SOLID Table.
Greg says:
Often, I apply my aesthetic to a found or acquired piece of raw material to suit a function, in this case, furniture. The SOLID table started with the top, which was formed from a large piece of industrial c-channel steel reclaimed from a scrap yard. The focus of my design was mass and structural lines with an emphasis on connections.
The SOLID Table can be viewed at the NICHE Awards Display at the Buyers Market of American Craft, February 12-15th, 2010 in Philadelphia.

German designer Kati Meyer-Brühl has designed the Powder collection of sofas and armchairs for her family’s manufacturing company, Brühl.
From Brühl:
The architectonically clean cut round chairs and sofas present themselves with winged silhouettes in feminine A-line. The snug comfort of powder is simply a dream with its allround sheltered aspect. Cone-shaped armrest insections are the height of finesse, articulated by sculpted inseams and outseams.
Brühl will be exhibiting the Powder collection at the 2010 IMM Cologne show in Germany.

German designer Peter Maly and his business partner Birgit Hoffmann have designed the DS-2410 seating family for the Swiss manufacturer de Sede.
From de Sede:
The commodious seat cushioning is partitioned by fine diagonal seams, while the diagonal motif is echoed in the sweeping armrests in the form of oblique stitching and pleats. The seating elements, sofas and stools perch on deeply recessed bases, while the large armchairs can also swivel.
