Arguably one of the cooler chairs I’ve seen recently, Velichko Velikov’s Elaxa Chair is a fluid furniture piece that’s an amazing contemporary take on the classic Thonet bentwood chair modern designs.
Developed simply style from bentwood and metallic joints, seat and base, the Elaxa Chair took the rules developed by classic Prague and Tivoli chairs and really mixed things up with layers of bentwood and the use of that amazing reflective metal. Equally interestingly, the version modern furniture design of the Elaxa Chair developed from acrylic is a smart alternative that takes on a flair all its own for a completely different interior mood. Despite their modern appearance, the bentwood Elaxa Chairs could equally be a fantastic counterpart to a heavy, bold dining arrangement or a bright and approachable kitchenette.

Modern Design : Elaxa Chair
The Sleek and Hyper-Streamlined Edge Desk
Ontario, Canada-based designer Alexi Mikhailov developed the sleek and hyper-streamlined Edge Desk: a table design straight out of our ultramodern cyberprep fantasies furniture.
Especially geometric with powerful design, curvilinear angles as its foremost features, the Edge Desk is clearly intended to tug at the heartstrings of progressive contemporary designers among us. The Edge Desk table design would be a fantastic, non-burdensome addition to a live/work space; especially, a wide, open loft area or a creative apartment office for your design and drafting efforts for example.

Four-to-One Table
Just imagine sitting down after your summer barbeque at the Four-to-One with your friends and allowing the table to glow with accent light long in the warm evening.
Taking influences from both Nordic and Asian design, Leon Fitzpatrick’s Four-to-One Table is a strong interior or exterior accent for those who enjoy sculptural centerpieces. The white and woodgrain furniture piece can actually break down into easy-to-reassemble elements for quick transportation or just so that you can use the table just about anywhere in your home. Aside from serving as a centerpiece dining table, the center of the Four-to-One also glows with white light. I would definitely recommend this table as a fun exterior accent for those with lush garden spaces or a compact patio space.

The Hexagonal Sofa
Designed by “Nosinger” the Hex Sofa is a sofa which has a sharp shape like a mineral ore being inspired by hexagonal crystal. By being wrapped by plywood, it has a side table on the edge of the sofa and the sloped shoulders of the sofa work as armrests. When you have a sofa like this you can replace a side table, a cup of coffee with reading newspaper.
Skid Row by Philippe Malouin
Designed by Philippe Malouin the “Skid Row” will be part of his exhibition ‘unusual context’ for nextlevel gallery in paris. The chair is made from bent steel tubing, perforated birch balls, and elastic shock cord. Philippe malouin’s work combines a certain element of humor, with both conceptual and functional language.
When the user sits down, the wooden balls rearrange and contour the shape of his or her body. And I think when we sit there, the wooden balls can give a little reflection therapy to our body.
