This is a stylish design called SoundForm FLUID, was designed by Philip Michael Wolfson. This idea was purposely designed for the whisky brand Glenmorangie.

Here is a brief description from the designer:

• For Glenmorangie, we were requested to create a sculptural piece for the launch of Glenmorangie Scotch Whisky in Taiwan & China. For this, SoundForm FLUID was conceived as a concrete visualization of the wavelength generated in pouring a liquid into a crystal glass.
• The idea for the Glenmorangie work, SoundForm FLUID, is a development of my studios’ research in the manner in which sound can be conveyed and transformed into a tangible object.  The intention behind the SoundForm series is that they are seen as a visual poetry, where the representation of sound conveys an intended meaning or effect.
• SoundForm FLUID originated through the visuals of the audio recording of sound created by the pouring of liquid into a crystal glass, where the subsequent graph, or sonogram, recording was used as a base profile, or visual, instigating the geometry.
• In this work, you have the movement of the pouring of the liquid which creates this languid, rhythmic motion, the reaction between the glass and the liquid and then, the resulting stillness as it settles.
• At each stage of the creation process, revisions, alterations and adjustments were carried out to allow for the realization. In the fabrication, we had to resolve demanding technical issues to do with the complex compound curves of the design, as well as developing new techniques for the finishing, which is a powder coating of 2 different colours – a fascinating challenge that required a new approach.
• Primarily this is about a sculptural form and the function as a bar is secondary to this. The entire process began purely as a sculptural concept – ink lines drawn on a roll of trace INTERPRETING the wavelengths recorded in that act of pouring the liquid into a crystal glass.

Magdalena Ekström, a recent graduate from the Danish Design School in Copenhagen, has created the Stiletto Chair design. The design is quite awesome. Even though it does not look comfortable but it actually is so comfortable. The net is flexible and gives great support for your back.

Here is the description from the designer:

• The Stiletto Chair is my answer to the next generation of upholstered furniture. Today most upholstery is made of foam and toxic glue – why not use a non-toxic material that gives the same comfort, but still uses less material?
• Stretched nylon net functions as good as regular upholstery and less material is needed. It’s extremely light and can be attached without toxic glue.
• The inspiration of the chair comes from womens’ sitting posture. The shape of the Stiletto Chairis asymmetrical because women tend to sit more asymmetrical than men do. The intention was to create the same expression as in a chaise longue, but in a modern, elegant easy chair.

Two designers from Sydney, Australia, David Caon and Juicy Design created such unique concept of Soundscape Sofa for Audio Technica’s retail space in Sydney. The sofa is made from a number of layers of EchoPanel, a 100% recyclable PET product.

Here is the short description from David Caon:
The Soundscape Sofa is a free standing retail concept designed and built for Japanese brand Audio Technica. David Caon partnered with local Sydney design firm Juicy Design  to conceive the project. The Soundscape provides a structure upon which customers can sit and relax while sampling the Audio Technica products.

The Soundscape is equipped with six touch screen listening docks. The touch-screens allow the users to either sift through an ‘inboard’ catalogue of music or plug in their own audio device to listen to through the headphones. Each dock has a different headphone and the customer can explore the sofa’s rugged landscape and sample the various products. The software which powers the touch-screens was custom designed for this application, making the Soundscape Sofa a truly bespoke product.

The design is a result of a necessity to keep the costs low combined with a desire to achieve a truly 3D shape. The Soundscape is constructed from 66layers of 12mm Echo Panel board cut by waterjet. Soundscape was originally created as a 3D sculpture and then horizontally sliced at 12mm intervals to create the individual layers. These layers were then broken down even further to fit the standard panel size of the Echo Panel product. The result was a complicated 3D jigsaw which was assembled around an internal chassis and then transported in sections to the site with Sydney’s CBD. The manufacturing method coupled with the sculptural design resulted in a piece which, in plan view, resembles an topographical drawing inspiring the ‘Soundscape’ name.

Recently, Germany-based designer Karoline Fesser unveiled its ultimate design, the Woonling Collection. The ideas look so warm and joyfull.

Here is short description about the design:
The Woonling Collection is a furniture concept that explores changing living- and room situations. Just like living organisms the green algae inspired cushions can build various structures. T-squares, flat connectors and furniture feet can be plugged in the ports between each of the radial facets. First there is one cushion which can be used as an ottoman. By embedding feet it becomes a taboret. A set of two cushions results in an easy chair. This can be multiplied to a sofa which grows to a longer sofa, for a bigger family.
