Draught by Strobe

Designer: Benjamin Wysk
Inspired by HR Giger‘s amorphous designs, the Draught Watch, by Benjamin Wysk, carries the idea of symbiosis by proposing the watch and the wearer are one. Odd design, but regardless, something that definitely catches attention. That’s what we like!

Octocube

Designer: Vivien Muller
Odd, I know, but intriguing at the same time. Entirely created from a single 90 degree elbow, the Octocube builds up into a radiant heater with a large surface area, and the inherent flexibility and modularity of the elbow. It is designed to be a sculptural heater that fits in with any interior.

Oz

Designer: Cate&Nelson

Constructed of felt, the new Oz chair by Cate&Nelson looks like a basic lounge chair for just about any room. That however is the point. The chair is made with multiple layers of felt which can be flipped and swapped to change colour resulting in a different mood or look depending. It’s inspiration comes from the idea of sitting in a book. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how comfortable it is…
