He has won several awards including the RSA award and D&AD New Blood. The brief was to create a beautiful wooden stackable chair.

Helsinki-based designer Erkko Aarti came up with a way to beat the long, dark months that last throughout the winter in Finland.

In place of wood, a row of metal gridded "planks" line up to be planted directly in the ground or into pots.

Israeli designer Ofir Zucker and origami artist Ilan Garibi created this series of vessels made of concrete. The exterior origami-like pattern and texture remind me of pineapples.
