Lost chair from Daisuke Motogi

An exhibit at Cheongju international craft here http://eng.okcj.org/home/main.do

The Lost chair is a great idea. It shape and feel reminds of the B&B Italia tufty range which I've blogged on here twice ( I do love it that much)

Anyway the designer Daisuke Motogi born in 1981 whom started Daisuke Motogi Architecture in 2010 and has some stunning ideas already on the site.

I love the way you can add books flowers, whatever you want in to the chair.

Babini Executive office Must range table

I think Babini are stunning example of modern and contemporary Italian furniture.

This pictured example is from the "must" range which is within the Executive office range.

I Really love the form of the table seating and desk with its powerful lines and feelling of stength.

From The Babini site:

A easy and round design, the use of glass together with aluminium and wengé, the particular worktops connection. It tells of a rigorous design focused on professionals and managers’ requirements, who look at the office as the interpretation of their own working and living style.

I'm sure to blog some more from Babini but in for now why not check out the Must range and entire collection here
