It’s been a while since we posted about Munkii’s Lamp 45 and Vintage Bookshelf. They’ve got some new seating in 2013 that looks to be a nice complement to their previous work.
Geek is a slatted chair made with steel (either black or white finish) and solid maple rods. You can also order optional felt cushions.
Wang is a sleek, sexy lounge chair that’s a combination of steel and oak laminate with a brass detail in the back. I’m not sure if it’s just painted to look like brass, but it looks pretty sweet.
The Wang Wire chair is the Wang’s more casual sibling. Available with a matte or polished steel frame, you can see the Bertoia influence in this one. I really love the way that the back is attached to the legs.

I wrote a fairly harsh comment on a post several weeks ago concerning using dowels or rods as the basis for your design and construction. The Geek chair proves me wrong on every level. This is an example of rods done right, take note dowel designers.

Yes Tyler, I do see what you mean. I am a fan of wood work myself and i have to say the Geek Slated chair looks like an engineering feat. Imagine the logistics and control needed to connect bent rods within a steel structure.
It is a very simple piece but constructed with such great understanding in material. The company seems to be a Singaporean company and flipping through their website, i already see several understated design from team Munkii. Great design work!

The Wang series looks absolutely amazing. Simple lines, clear presentation, clever assembly of the 2 materials. I love the “bling” on the chair!

Wang. .. Funny name but fabulous looking chair. Some very serious industrial design.
