Right now, I`m really into cardborard furniture, so I was pleased to find these chairs made by Brazilian studio Super Limão. The quality and the finishing are great, but the thing is, pieces like these are being sold in very expensive shops, which makes me wonder if the purpose of the use of cardboard is being forgotten over comercial issues...
Ther`s nothing different in these benches but the Japanese prints decorating it. Idea of Paty Rosa, they`re kind of cute!
At least something really new this week! Believe me, I'm the kind of person that spend some valuable time daily, trying to find cool design products and projects (that's the reason I'm here, writing for you, by the way). And, is not very easy to find something that surprise me. The Armadillo Chair designed by the student Aodh O Donnell from Philadelphia University, did it. I mean, it surprise me in a very delighted way.
It's amazing the visual effect that the designer reach. It remains me a cooper roof (a tiles one), or a medieval armor. But, anyway this is not an antique, is the very opposite of that... a very modern and sophisticated chair.
Take a look to all the process that Aodh did to create his Armadillo chair, on Contemporist.

New from Gus*! The Carmichael Chair fuses traditional and contemporary sensibilities, bringing clean lines to a classic style. The Upcycle Ottoman is upholstered using a supply of surplus jute bags previously used to transport organic coffee beans. The jute features screen-printed stencils and logos which identified the original goods, making each ottoman completely unique. The School Chair is a modern reinterpretation of the well-known classic.
I could write and write this very talented Brazilian designer: the versatile products, the beautiful shapes... but instead, I`d rather show some images and you can take your own conclusions! I`m a fan!
