Bo Reudler: Slow White

Posted in anthropomorphic, furniture, sculpture with tags anthropomorphic, furniture, sculpture on September 18, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

Pumpkin Rot recently featured Bo Reudler’s Slow White furniture series.

Clearly, form trumps function…and the form is just a tad offbeat and obscure. My vivid imagination immediately envisioned that these are the outcasts of the furniture factory, who escape into the night to be happy misfits together.

They explore the forest and revel in their curves, knots and organically shaped pieces…so divinely unlike their homogenous factory counterparts.

This one is making a wish as he glances toward the sky…

A chair enjoys a quiet meditative moment before rejoining the others…

Hush Pod

This chair by Freya Sewell looks very inviting to me.

It’s another piece of introvert furniture (for those who don’t want the Sensory Deprivation Skull). Perfect for curling up and reading A Guide for the Extra Woman

Mr. Chair

Posted in furniture, home, humor with tags furniture, home, humor on May 21, 2011 by shewalkssoftly

Now, I have a strict rule against my furniture being in better shape than I am. But if you prefer your chairs with well defined pecs and abs, you might want to consider “Mr. Chair.”

This is furniture that seems to say “Don’t you dare sit on me when you could be working out right now, you lazy sack of crap!”

Michel Haillard: Infernal Furniture

Posted in design, furniture, home, taxidermy with tags design, furniture, home, taxidermy on February 19, 2011 by shewalkssoftly

Ever wonder how Hell is furnished? Look no further…I have your answer. You’re welcome.

Michel Haillard creates sinister pieces of furniture, inspired by a passion for hunting.

I don’t believe in hunting just for sport, so to avoid intense cognitive dissonance I must believe that these creatures were killed for food, and that every part of the carcass was carefully and responsibly used.

I would also accept the use of dead animals if one were to find them decimated by plague or natural disaster.

Maybe they just died of old age…

Although a tad too opulent for me personally, I think these pieces would be phenomenal on dark, lush movie sets. Haillard could easily furnish an entire villain abode.

What images or characters does this furniture conjure up in your imagination?

Lago Divan

What I love about these pieces of modular furniture by Lago is the appearance of floating.

Don’t they seem to be hovering over the floor?

Uncomfortable Furniture Week: Water Bottles and Weapons

Posted in furniture, sculpture with tags furniture, sculpture on April 23, 2010 by shewalkssoftly

There’s no mention of the actual designer on the source page, but this lounge chair is made of hundreds of small water bottles.

When I hear the term “Aqua Lounge Chair” I think of something a bit more…blissful.

Now, when I hear “Throne of Weapons,” I’m pretty sure bliss isn’t anywhere in the picture.

But this piece wasn’t just a simple way to upcycle a gun collection.

These guns began life in the poisonous smelting factories of Russia, Eastern Europe, Korea or Portugal, before being put to bloody use in the dense jungles of Mozambique’s coastal lowlands. Now, under the initiative of Bishop Dinis Sengulane, they are crafted into icons that carry a nation’s hopes for peace.

Uncomfortable Furniture Week: Misc Mashup #2

Posted in absurd, design, furniture, sculpture with tags absurd, design, furniture, sculpture on April 22, 2010 by shewalkssoftly

Here are some more selections I saved from Oddee.

This one doesn’t really qualify for the “uncomfortable” theme. Maybe some would find it uncomfortable to look at “ghost chairs,” but I actually think they are pretty wonderful.

Made of paper strips, this fellow looks like the colorful cousin of Snuffleupagus.

Supposedly, this also functions as wall art when not in use. I actually love the concept.

Should anyone want a chair like this, I’d be happy to make on on commission with the countless stuffed animals I’ve been waiting for the chance to donate.
