Soft sorage furniture

 No, I am not talking about sofas and poufs - I am talking about wardrobes! We have seen some examples of textile used in storage furniture, but this already becomes a stable trend: the 26 years old German designer Meike Harde's textile furniture series London consists of a wardrobe, a cabinet as well as a bag-like storage object. 
The Organisers from Tent and Super Brands London invited Meike Harde to participate at SUPER DESIGN GALLERY during the Design Festival.

We know the designer from her ingenious Zieharsofika collection that appeared last year and I think that this direction of her new designs is part of the beginning of new trend in furniture design.

The world’s lightest wood table

Ripple is an experimental prototype for an ultra-lightweight timber table. This elegant minimalist design created by London-based designer Benjamin Hubert with  Canadian manufacturer Corelam is made using 70-80% less material than a standard timber table and can be assembled and manoeuvred by a single person.. Ripple is 2.5 metres long, one metre wide and weighs only 9 kilograms.  It is produced from three ply 0.8mm birch aircraft plywood, using an innovative production process of corrugating plywood which makes it stronger. Even legs are made from it.  It was part of Hubert’s Antecedents show at The Aram Gallery during London Design festival 2013.
