This Mr. Impossible chair is destined to become an iconic piece; its shape and comfort takes the humble plastic material into an elevated design form. Also, the other items pictured in the room view are worth a mention: the ribbed aluminum Table #28 is surprisingly versatile as its angular form provides shelves and can be used indoors or out, the Parametre™ AccordiOn Screen would be perfect for a room divider as shown, and the String 10 Light is still (and perhaps will always be) such a stellar choice for accent lighting.

An inviting, durable, and comfortable chair, Mr. Impossible combines sophisticated design with advanced plastic processing. The transparent structure and the translucent colored seat are seamlessly welded together. Made by Kartell of polycarbonate.

Size: 32.5h x 21.5w x 16"d; Seat: 19"h

This seems to be a floor sample piece, hence the price reduction, but man-oh-man is it a lovely light fixture (made of velcro!). It looks like this particular retailer won't take additional orders, but you can email (export@almerich.com) or call (tel +34961343234) the manufacturer directly.

At a time when both designers and consumers are overwhelmed with complicated manufacturing techniques and advanced material technologies, Luis Eslava seeks to champion the straighforward through his Face to Face installations made of humble velcro. Since its invention in the 1940's Velcro has been used for a variety of purposes but is usually hidden from view. Face to Face elevates velcro's flexibility, transparency and tactility to create beautifully sculptured objects.

Excellent; when guests comment on your lovely lampshade you can impress them by launching into a lecture that starts with 'Well, actually, its form is inspired by...' or you could just say thanks.

A lampshade inspired by the structure made of spirals according to the Fibonacci mathematical sequence: the spiral you find everywhere in natural structures like sunflowers and mussels. Heat-resistant and can be used with any kind of light bulb. Use Fibonacci as a pendant light by pulling it over a lampholder

On my daily walks to work, I see the new graffiti from the night before, and then on my way home I see that has been painted over by a shop owner or City Beautification volunteer. One morning, I saw some young men painting graffiti on Hollywood boulevard, (with the marks and symbols that I've always acquainted with gang activity), and then on the way home I saw some people from City Beautification painting over it with a paint to match the background. It was sort of lovely to be witness to both the defacing/refacing processes.

I have always marveled at graffiti and the fact that no one has come up with a device for stopping it.

Anyway, that's what I think of when I see this pendant lamp featuring a mural of Brooklyn graffiti.

designed by heath nash for artecnica, this tyvek-based lamp ships flat and expands into a series of honeycomb structures. the key to the rigidity of this shade lies in an interior white-coated steel sphere that provides spacing between the light source and the tyvek. uses a 60W incandescent max
