Maritime Chair by Benjamin Hubert

Maritime Chair by Benjamin Hubert
Inspired by traditional wooden shipbuilding techniques, Maritime is a solid wood range of chairs that are skinned internally with a formed plywood shell.
Designed by Benjamin Hubert for Casamania, Maritime’s construction technique — where the supports are visible on the outside — allows for a distinctive design language that is in harmony with the material and production. The ribs allow for a structurally robust chair with minimum use of material.

Marvelous jewelry design... modern style!


Proenza Schouler's mini-forays into jewelry design have been highly successful, if not too-easily ripped off, with fashion-conscious ladies snatching up their rope bracelets and geostone necklaces when they can get their hands on 'em.

Lean Trike Concept, Manga style.... Akira would be proud!

TriMove


I get it- the hubless wheel has yet to reach its full technical potential, but set aside your speculation for just a moment to admire this striking trike concept. Most three 3-wheelers combine the worst of motorcycles & cars: no leaning into corners, exposure to the elements, & no lane splitting- but the narrow, tilting 3-wheeled TriMove has all the agility & aerodynamic styling you’d expect from a fierce motorbike. It’s triangle footprint provides balance even when it’s not moving. And the three disc braking system means it requires far less braking space, making for an exceptionally fool-proof bike that doesn’t sacrifice style.
