Design legend Stefan Sagmeister has ventured into furniture design but sticking true to his graphic design roots. The Darwin Chair, shown as part of Dutch design company Droog’s show at Design Miami features more than 200 patterned sheets to suit any environment and desired look. The Darwin chair utilizes a free swinging structure that includes about 200 sheets of attached prints. As the top sheet gets dirty or tired, the user can simply rip it off thereby transforming the chair’s appearance.

These guys are camping outside the Apple Store in SF in the hope that someone will pay them for their space so they can put the cash towards the newly designed iPhone from Apple. Clever? Crazy? Goes to show the power of a brand I suppose.

A REAL FEVALA CHAIR

Sunday, March 21st, 2010 by Mike Rigby

On a recent trip to Rio I had the unusual pleasure of walking right through Brazil’s largest fevala (slum). 200,000 people live there, 200, 000! It was a real eye opener and not at all what I expected (I’ll post more about it another time). But I thought I’d share this chair I spotted.

Everyone’s seen Fernando and Humberto Campos iconic fevala chair – based on the appearance of a fevala. You can see the simarlarlites can’t you…favela-modern-armchair-design1

Anyway, I spotted this – a chair made of discarded plastic bottles. A REAL fevala chair so to speak. It’s good isn’t it.
