Bisazza Clown Sofa

There’s no denying it – the Bisazza Clown Sofa has real personality. Designed by Spanish Jaima Hayon, the sofa reflects his merging of art and design – and also reveals his associations with toy design! The Bisazza sofa is new for 2008 from the award-winning designer. Playful, bright and chunky, a circular bright blue sofa stretches all the way around a central backrest. Ideal for busy or public spaces, this smart arrangement means that many people can be comfortably seated on the plush sofa in a relatively small space. The sofa is topped with a cute moulded head which looks like an appealing cartoon character – although it is an abstract form open to interpretation. Contact Bisazza to receive a catalogue with more information on the Clown Sofa.

Air Bed by Lago - new heights

No, not an air mattress, but an air bed. A platform bed that rests on four slabs of transparent crystal, making it appear to be floating in mid-air. Another spectacular design by Daniele Lago for an awe-striking minimalist bedroom and an utterly unique sleeping experience; a flying carpet ride that symbolizes the soaring capabilities of the mind during sleep and dreams. The height of the bed is adjustable by rotating the glass supports under the metallic body and the bed itself comes in two sizes. But wait, that’s not all – underneath the mattress you will find twenty figures stenciled into the platform that depict positions from the Kama Sutra (third photo shown here). This interesting discovery might remind you of the many uses of a bed and push you to greater heights of ... sleep ;-). The air bed: an uplifting and arousing design, to be sure.

Ultra-modern Park Bench by Landscapeforms - 'Stay'

Gone are the old nostalgic park benches, and in come the new generation to populate the city’s landscape. ‘Stay’ by Landscapeforms is from the 35 collection and is a perfect example of this new vision for outdoor furniture. Despite its sleek metal finish, the ‘Stay’ bench is nevertheless designed to blend in with nature through its natural form, as it appears to be growing from the ground like a blooming flower or branches of a tree. The arcked seating and backrest offer comfortable support, while the optional seat dividers discourage the loitering of sleepers and keep skateboarders from using it as a prop. It comes in a variety of colors of powdercoat finish, which is hard but flexible and quite resistant to rusting, chipping, peeling and fading – a necessity when faced with ever-changing harsh outdoor conditions. There is also the option of having it backed or backless, embedded into the pavement or surface mounted. But despite its practical characteristics, the bench’s modern appeal is what creates notice and appreciation. As far as park bench designs go, ‘Stay’ is as sexy as they come.

Now here is an interesting seat idea, created by Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien for Moroso, which highlights a playful fusion of two worlds – India and Europe. The Beautiful Backside seats are made of a lacquered wood base frame, and the cushions are covered with colorful Indian textiles that include silk and cotton, and a Kvadrat wool.
