Furniture First

This particular bench was made from 128 individual pieces of wood joined invisibly to create the final form.

Six Fold is a minimal bench created by Australia-based designer Elliot Bastianon. Six Fold is a bench seat that uses six individual sheets of EchoPanel® to function as an underframe, turning a non-structural material into a supportive element. It is an extension of the ideas presented in a previous work that explored the method of ‘V’ bent panels – and echoes a ‘strength in numbers’ approach to design solutions. A timber frame on the underside removes any chance of deflection and ensures the top remains flat when used. The solid oak top has been blackened and polished, muting some aspects of the timber’s characteristics while simultaneously highlighting others.

Norwegian duo Anderssen & Voll plays with a classic Erik Jørgensen design in their new sofa for the Danish brand. Clear-cut lines, a minimalist frame, and a comfortable seat unite to create this contemporary piece of furniture.

Any combination of dining tables, desks, coffee tables, credenzas, standing desks, and more, are possible. And of course, the wood can be easily painted for a more colorful design.

Half Cab is a minimal sideboard created by Toronto-based design firm MSDS. Half Cab derives its name from the fact that the doors cover half of the area of the cabinet face, providing equal parts concealment and display. The doors are made of painted aluminum and are designed to drape over and slide easily along the scaffolding-like frame.

French design brand Colonel just launched its latest collection for 2016 and it includes a series of lamps, coffee tables, and a sideboard, all of which come in several colors and can even be customized.

Wooten handpicked every piece in the house, such as the 1955 Medea chair by Vittorio Nobili, near which he placed an abandoned bird’s nest he found on the property.

"99 percent of the miniatures featured in the book were made painstakingly with hand tools: Xacto knives, sandpaper, felt, a needle and thread, strips of basswood, and mahogany—things you can find at a great art supply store," Chun says. "I only recently got a Dremel rotary tool to help with sanding the curves of a Saarinen dining table. But overall, the simple, clean lines—often pure geometry—found in mid-century and Danish modern sensibilities helps with creating pieces at this scale."
