A bank is a place where they lend you an umbrella in fair weather and ask for it back when it begins to rain.

Egawa & Zbryk - String Chair



I am LOVING the String Chair by Egawa & Zbryk. So gorgeous! It's made out of plywood, nylon cord, and stainless steel - possibly uncomfortable, but really, who cares?

Domestic



Domestic invited a select group of designers to create a series of products. Starting with vinyl wall decals, Domestic has branched out into a furniture series called 1.2.3.Furniture. Each piece is made from pre-cut multi-ply birch, and depending on the complexity of the furniture piece, comes with either 1, 2, or 3 panels of birch. Designers participating in this series: Matali Crasset, Antoine+Manuel, Ich&Kar, Electricwig, 5.5 Designers, Big-Game, Adrien Rovero, and Jörg Boner.

ZooCreative



Check out this very sexy fruit tray from ZooCreative. I love the different profiles and angles that emerge from the folded plywoood as you move the tray around. The tray is available at Do.

Tivi



Hey, peeps. Sorry for no posts yesterday. We were swamped...But look at what I've got for you today! Not particularly affordable - but very attractive - accessories from Tivi. I especially love their handbags which are constructed from plywood with a leather interior and hand-screened.

Tunto



Tunto/Mikko Kärkkäinen is a very impressive Finnish designer. It was hard for me to choose just a few products to showcase, but I did my best! What I like most about Tunto's products are the urban graphics and bright colors that permeate their collection of work.

The Hoover lamp is a gorgeous fixture, and I love how the base seems to be sitting on the floor with you. The packaging is awesome, too, with the lamp shade just peeking out over the side.

The M3 is a seat/storage unit, which is great for people like us who have tiny apartments and need all the storage we can get.

Below is the Vuokko table which I like for its simplicity and also for the splash of color on the underside. It's available in many pretty colors!

Scot Laughton



This is an older piece from Scot Laughton, but I love it - a multi-functional bench/storage chest made out of birch plywood.

Thing Tank



A fancy mobile from Thing Tank. The mobiles are available in either oiled mahogany plywood or opaque white acrylic. The mobiles are actually very large (each piece is 30" x 20"), putting them in both the sculptural and furniture categories. Not the trucks and diggers mobile of your childhood.

Ryan Frank



This chair was made from a single sheet of birch plywood. It is put together without any adhesives (though they use screws to make connections). Ryan Frank is a South African designer currently based in London.

I don't know why I like these, but I just do. Loot lights:

Eriko Sukegawa



A curvaceous magazine rack for your wall that doesn't look bad when there isn't anything in it. And you can fit alot of magazines in the rack as well, which is good if you take a long time to throw things out like I do. Eriko Sukegawa is the designer. You can find him exhibiting at 100% Design this year.
