Hello design lover! The stars of today are the three elements of the Cork Family by Vitra, designed by the esigner Jasper Morrison.
  These three giants cork stoppers don't serve of course to close wine bottles but are three original and very versatile pieces of furniture, it is possible to use it as a stool or as a table.
The essential lines match perfectly with the cork, which has the advantages to be strong, lightweight and extremely soft at touch
The Cork Family is made of natural cork turned coming from the waste industry processing of corks, a beautiful family, original and even green!

 

Buongiorno design lover! I protagonisti di oggi sono i tre elementi della Cork Family di Vitra, ideati dal designer Jasper Morrison.

 Questi tre tappi giganti prodotti interamente in sughero non servono ovviamente per chiudere le bottiglie di vino ma sono tre originali complementi di arredo molto versatili, è infatti possibile usarli sia come sgabello che come tavolino.

Happy birthday Coconut Chair!

 

Hi my dear design lovers! Today post is a tribute to Coconut Chair created by the designer George Nelson for Vitra in the year 1955, which this year celebrate 60 years old.

 The designer George Nelson compared the armchair with a coconut cut into eight parts, though he reversed the colours: the outer shell of the Coconut Chair is white, while the one-piece cushion is covered with high-quality leather or fabric in a variety of colours.

Coconut Chair has a simple and ironic shape, typical of 50es design and its spacious shape creates an inviting and comfortable armchair that wrap the sitter.

Below, some pics I chose for celebrate this piece of design history!

Buongiorno design lovers! Il post di oggi è un omaggio a Coconut Chair, la seduta del designer George Nelson creata per Vitra nel 1955 che quest'anno compie 60 anni.

A piece of design history

  
The chair protagonist of today's post is an important piece in the history of international design: Panton Chair, designed by the Danish designer Verner Panton, is the result of a long research development in 1960 and in 1967 began series production for Vitra. Panton Chair has won numerous awards and one of the first models is in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. 
Today the Panton Chair is considered a classic of modern furniture design and its success is due to the modernity of the material and its particular and elegant shape, designed to follow the anatomy of the body. Panton Chair is injection molded from a single piece of polypropylene and is suitable for all environments, from the living room to the kitchen, from the office to outdoors.
