Soumitra's Wow: Ross Lovegrove, Toyo Ito, Kayuyo Sejima and Marcel Wanders's knotted chair





I saw this one today. actually, for the past few months i've been kinda looking outside for 'different' designed objects (outside TU Delft/Modernism/Netherlands) and there are some awesome things around. It's a shame that most of these things don't make it into casual conversation at our faculty - but, it really opened up a new world for me personally. A couple of names I can drop would be designs by Ross Lovegrove (Liquid carbon image), architecture by Toyo Ito (img: interior of serpent pavilion) and Kazuyo Sejima (img: steel carpet). Of course, the 'knotted chair' by Marcel Wanders deserves a mention too.
This time, there were a few cool pieces at the Design Academy graduation show... the polymer bath-tub for example, and the concrete seats that looked as if made from rubber.
