13 Pieces Of Wood & 2 Bits Of Rope

What do the ingredients in the title make? A table! At least in Aïssa Logerot’s world they do. I might be mistaken on the number of bits of wood, but the equation remains the same: a completely enjoyable build-it-yourself table made from simple, visible parts. Lots of people get down on IKEA for creating low-quality, oversimplified designs, but I say no! The best part is being able to build it yourself, and easily!

Logerot’s on this same tip.

But let’s not tie Logerot to tightly with IKEA now, because this is no 
Swiss
 Swedish, miss! This is a French work of design, straight out of Paris. With the cord ye shall tie the table down, and with the cord thou shalt be able to adjust the table with time.

Yes, the table sits in a non-fixed state. The table can be lengthened and extended, tightened and shortened. This kit folds flat, and you can make it into a shelf, a stool, and a seat besides.

Same pieces!

Cut From a Single Piece of Wood

What is this! Only a single bit of wood and a small bit of steel support on the bottom, we’ve got quite a sassy looking little sear here! What designer Scott Jarvie has done is to not only make the single seat cut from wood with almost no waste, but multiple seats can be cut with very little waste from a single large regular sheet of plywood, too!

As you can see from the first picture and a couple others below, the One Cut concept is used primarily on this single regular chair, but below, you can see the idea implemented on several different forms.

It’s a whole potential family!

The seat provides a nice surface to sit, lumbar support, and a rather wild form to look at. Very pretty!

Very ergonomic.

Illuminating Wood

Designer Julian Robin designed a tricky piece of furniture. The Cub Lamp looks like a normal block of wood, until you turn it on. The interior of the Cub Lamp is etched with a leaf design. Not sure how large it is but a slight redesign could

make it double as a stool. 

Wood Flat Seat

n the future, everything will be flat. Did you know? Everything will fold down into nothing. Also there will be no need for dust covers because we’ll have dust-repellant paper! But we’ll still need wood. And we can replenish our wood supply with trees. And we can replenish our flat stool supply with wood. Serdar Sişman’s made us a flat stool that’s made entirely of wood. Flat wood. Savvy?

The neat thing about this particular folding stool is that it can be folded down into a relatively flat bit of wood. It’s not thin as a piece of paper, but you can put your drinks on it. Then there’s the fact that you can make this particular stool out of a single tablet of wood, so says Serdar Sişman.

What we need now is rapid-prototyping machines that cut wood!

Triplette Chair

3 Chairs in 1: The Ultimate Set of Stackable Wooden Seating


If the goal of stacked seating is to minimize space displaced within the stack, you really cannot make a more compact arrangement than this – one chair that hides two more in plain.
French designer Paul Menand created this seamless Triplette Chairseries to work as one without making the combination unusable (as is often the case with stacks of chairs before you pull them apart).
Instead of storing them out of view, you can use the main space-saving configuration most of the time then simply slot out a few additional seating spaces on demand.

Built entirely with wood from certified and sustainably managed forests that is then glued to particle board, it makes up in impact what it may lack in everyday practicality. Each piece of wood in the panel is naturally polished using only water and is positioned by hand during manufacturing. The panels, measuring 29.5 inches x 45.3 inches, provide for excellent sound insulation. At nearly 3 inches thick, each panel weighs about 50 pounds. – Via – AT

Bits Of Wood

Nederlands ontwerper Pepe Heykoop gebruik in zijn recyclage meubelen afvalhout uit houtzagerijen en gerecycled tin uit locale recyclefabrieken. Dicht opeengepakt wordt het afvalhout gebonden wanneer de gesmolten tin zin verhard.

Er is enorm veel schoonheid in materialen terug te vinden. Wij, als consumerend ras, creeeren een enorm afvalverbruik binnen verschillende soorten productieprocessen. ‘Bits of Wood’ is een reactie op de manieren waarop je met dit 'afval' kan omgaan.

Er werden geen lijm of schroeven gebruikt tijdens het proces.het draait allemaal om de kwaliteit van de vorm en de materialen waar men overheen durft kijken.
