Since children are known for fiddling, they are sure to keep wheeling the stool back and forth even when seated which would keep their legs active while the self support system would ensure that the kids’ core muscles are also constantly working through the day.

The flexible seat of the Ray Chair that resembles the balance ball and is designed to keep the user constantly in motion to keep their balance in it. This ensures that the child sitting in the chair never slouches and maintains the correct posture while providing comfortable support to the child.

The Ray Chair has gained huge popularity in Scandinavia and Europe though the designer also retails it in the U.S. through his company Perch.

Portable and convertible furniture became kind of outdated when video chat and virtual hangouts replaced having friends over to one’s backyard. But that doesn’t mean that the market for minimalist, purely functional furniture has vanished. Today, these kinds of furniture items are used to make small-space living more comfy for apartment dwellers. Simone Simoncelli, Italian furniture and product designer extraordinaire, has used the needs and wants of such clients to fashion her highly stylish and practical Maisonette series.

The name of the furniture range literally translates into ‘little home’ and that is precisely what the multifunctional furniture series aims to fit into. Each of the three pieces of minimalist furniture in the Maisonette series has been given a dual function to enhance its functionality. The series comprises of a bookshelf, a trolley and a small table. The bookshelf, however, can also be used as a clothes hanger or a makeshift wardrobe space though we feel that one can also stick it against a wall and hang a mirror from its upper end and put it to use as a dresser or even a bathroom vanity.

The trolley can also be used as a storage unit though we can totally see it being used as a rather low dinner table for two if one hangs a lamp from the pulling rod and throws two floor cushions at either end of it. The small table in the series also converts in an eating and serving tray though users are free to hang it from the ceiling and use it as a storage shelf in the bathroom, kitchen or living room. Created with simplicity and durability in mind, each item in the series is constructed using Adler wood in a natural finish and iron rods.

Back in the good old days, a person who made furniture was called a carpenter and a chair’s design was largely dictated by the materials most abundantly available and the style language of the particular era. That is one great reason why most examples of seats and furnishings from previous great eras like the Victorian era, the renaissance period, etc. have a very distinct style and shape that allow them to be identified correctly to the period that they were made in.

However, in the modern era, the boundaries between separate eras of fashion and trend are blurred to such an extent that designers often need to create something completely untraditional to allow their product to stand out from the crowd. A Cotton in the Air by Studio JEILPARK is one such endeavor that defy being pegged down to a particular era in the modern age. The shape of the chair is shaped to be a cross between a giant donut and an oval bean bag. The bun like chair is made using strands of spun cotton yarn that resembles shoelaces in its texture though the designers behind it have done remarkably well in ensuring that the otherwise soft and floppy material is chemically treated to be stiff and shape retaining without losing the softness of its visage.

The designers claim that the chair is in fact nothing more than a rough project and is aimed at challenging the boundaries of what can and cannot be used as and named a chair. The single seater is aimed to serve as a piece of patio furniture though the backless design could also make a mean standalone piece for fashionable studio apartments, lounges, lobbies and art galleries though we definitely cannot say how comfy sitting in the backless wonder would be.

The color options also keep changing with the trends and the latest trends say that the bright colors are back with a bang. The people might say that grey and black are still in fashion but that is not the case as they do not display hope. Bright colors were quite prevalent at the IMM trade fair this year and they sure looked great and beautiful. The bright colors were present in furniture as well as the home accessories.
