I’ve been looking for decent modern outdoor furniture for quite some time now. Outside of Europe, quite frankly, there is very little choice when it comes to where you sit on an aesthetically modern surface. Modern Outdoor gives me choices. And they give me choices like this beautiful bench above that are green to boot. There is some piece of mind that the wood that is used to make this was not clear cut. (I just hope the IPE trend doesn’t bite all of us in the ass when there’s none left.)

I received this email about a year ago, and just never had time to post this. Sandy Lam has created an ingenious system. The pieces of furniture are built into the floor of a terrace and easily slide up to create a table or a bench. This is the perfect furniture solution for people who have minimal space, and don’t want their precious room to be cluttered with furniture all the time. This is essentially on-demand furniture.

This is not necessarily a new idea. I think the first time pop-up furniture comes to mind is in my grandfather’s bass boat. On this vessel, the seats popped up out of the floor. However, I really have not seen such a simple and useful device as Spaceless for some time now.

The current trend is over-the-top baroque furniture, and this piece focuses on spartan utilitarianism. After this simple idea, though, designers my be inspired to rethink possibilities with concealed furniture.

I remember back in college the first time I ever saw a Rem Koolhaas house. I cannot remember the name of the house, now, but it was built for a wheelchair bound man and his wife. The house seemed simple enough at first glance, but it always seemed odd to me. Much later, I realized why: the house defied gravity. There was no simple explanation at to how this structure stood up. And this is the same feeling I got when I first viewed Stack. Initially, it didn’t blow my mind until I realized just how strong its illusion took hold of your imagination. Now, I find myself staring at this shelving for hours in awe. Okay, maybe not hours, but this furniture from Established & Sons‘ collection and the design house of Raw Edges garners, at least, minutes of deep pondering.
