Urban Logs Collection by Ilan Dei Studio
The Urban Logs Collection is the latest line of limited-edition furniture from Ilan Dei Studio.
Focusing on “urban renewal” each piece gives new life to urban and suburban trees that have been removed and are destined to become waste or firewood. Each log has a different shape, texture, and story which adds a history and brings some uniqueness to each piece. This natural individuality is contrasted by the simple, yet industrial elements of safety orange (love!) tube, orange upholstery and smoky copper-tinted mirrors.
The designers were inspired to create this collection after seeing beautiful pieces of unused logs lying around the neighborhoods surrounding the studio in Venice, CA. The first run of furniture used redwood for the tables and chairs, and white oak for the lights, however, there is such a variety of species available around the Los Angeles area that future generations will constantly be changing species.

UNIKEA by Kenyon Yeh
DALT
UNIKEA, or Unique IKEA is a project by designer Kenyon Yeh in which he seeks to create personal identity from ubiquitous uniformity. Kenyon assembled the pieces from a standard IKEA flat pack without following the instructions (or, as he says, he threw away the instructions). Instead, he simply customized each piece to fit his own personal taste, with the addition of a few details.
Amalgamation of an old detailed English chair leg from resin casting brings a fresh new feel to the simple IKEA design. He says, “The process is liberating and brings a limitless attitude of possibility creating unique furniture instead of doing such a thing that made by forces.”
Kino Guérin
I love the wood-appears-like-paper kind of look in furniture. Designer Kino Guérin shows exactly that in some of his limited edition furnishings and objects. He utilizes a vacuum press laminated process that leads him to new discoveries in the forms of his pieces, paving a way for more innovative uses of wood.
Air by Radius Design
The Air is a new product from Radius Design that reminds me of a picnic table, but modern. It’s available in a few crazy colors, too.
Purpose Restoration
Jason Fox owns Purpose Restoration, a furniture design company that not only saves old pieces from going to the landfill, but makes them into one-of-a-kind modern treasures. He also creates custom pieces featuring his own artwork, which is inspired by graffiti and Japanese tattoo art.
New Work by Joris Laarman
Dutch designer Joris Laarman will unveil new works at Friedman Benda tonight, including his Leaf Table (above) and a number of other works. If his name sounds familiar to you, he is the designer behind the bone furniture we featured back in 2007. The bone furniture algorithm revolutionized design back in 2006 — it translated the complexity, proportion and functionality of human bone and tree growth into a chair form.
Ogata Furniture
Japanese craftsman and designer Kin ichi Ogata is offering some beautiful handmade pieces through unity523ny, including benches with giant “buttons” as seats, chairs whose wood seats are carved to look like tufted leather, and leather stools that look to be made of packing tape. It’s a very unique collection for sure, and if this type of thing is for you check out unity523ny’s website for purchasing details (showroom coming soon).
