Miss Maple Pendant Lamp by Elisa Strozyk
German designer Elisa Strozyk has created the Miss Maple pendant lamp.
The pendant lamp “Miss Maple” is showing the use of a familiar material in an unconventional way. We usually experience wood as a plain surface, but here it is broken down into a grid of triangles. This makes a flexible lampshade which can be transformed manually in three-dimensional ways.
While the lamp generates warm light at night the surface outside becomes more evident with daylight and turns the lamp into sculptural object.

Ionic Bench by Laurie Beckerman
New York-based designer Laurie Beckerman has created the Ionic Bench.
Laurie says:
It’s inspired by the capital of an Ionic column. Instead of the look of dense stone, I wanted to extract the lines of the form to create a light, spacious and resilient bench in which a person sits in the middle — framed on either side by two big luxurious scrolls.
Made from 1″ thick Baltic birch plywood, the bench’s profile is cut out 18 times with the use of CNC technology. The slices are laminated together for a strong, curvaceous form. The surfaces that reveal the plies are finely sanded, and coated with a high-quality Italian acrylic; the result is a seat that is sensuously smooth to the touch.
