Why is your chair obese?Maybe because it is designed for couch potatoes being very confortable to stay all day in it ?

The first chair is designed by Charlotte Kingsnorth of Buckinghamshire New University which took First  place in a Furniture Design Contest.

The idea behind this chair was ” inspired by the new Vitra Edition collection that is unencumbered by commercial constraints and pushes the boundaries of innovative furniture design”.

Kingsnorth says she was inspired from the obesity of people and Jenny Saville’s paintings: “a sofa that has been devoured by its obese occupier”. “The flesh has spilled and encased the sofa… until the two have married into a new grotesque form,” she explains.

A ‘Demolition Party’ is a party where they VIPs are invited to smash, wreck and generally annihilate anything left standing in the building: corridors, stairways, lobbies, rooms, etc.

Belgian designer and artist Arne Quinze created a temporary installation at the 5 star Parisian hotel Le Royal Monceau last month, before the hotel’s closure for a year with Philippe Starck designing the new interiors.

The installation called REBIRTH is a unique futuristic wooden sculpture, the hotel didn’t plan to go quietly giving an exclusive party.

The installation features 15 km of fluorescent red wood and 40 video screens to offer the public a mind-bowing and unique experience.

“REBIRTH reflects the transition moment in which the building’s DNA reveals its disorder, history and countless stories. It bursts out all it’s captured energy of the hotel’s last decades.

It is an organic fragmentation bomb that hangs still in the air, just for one moment, in perfect formation, before dissolving, disappearing and turning into a new, well-structured pattern again…”

Fashion designer Luana Jardim presented a collection of dresses, Specular, made of iron at Fashion Rio.
The dresses are interesting but kind of weird…

What I wonder is … if they need some reparation you need will need a welder or a blow torch?

Ohh…well…this is really an interesting piece of invention. It is the toilet of the future. It has a TV, a TiVo, a DVD player, Xbox, laptop, fridge (what the f***?), a megaphone (to let the whole world hear how happy you are), and iPod dock.

I has even some exercise pedals just in case all that sitting on the toilet, eating, playing video games and watching TV makes your ’system’ a bit jammed up .
