Colander, a table of 909 holes, is the latest project by Daniel Rohr  designed to delete space and material. Produced by way of a CNC milling process, the polished aluminium tabletop starts out at a weight of 408 kg. (899 lbs.). The space between the plate glass top and the metal bowl makes any object that is set upon the table seem to hover above it. It takes about four weeks for the production of one table, to be produced in an edition of ten.Via Mocoloco

The only chair I'll ever need.

Modern Camp Fire by Conmoto

Mobile fireplaces are pretty much en vogue these days and that with reason as because a cheerful fire blazing literally ignites an atmosphere of coziness in any setting. Conmoto with their ever-ambitioned will for development recently conjured the design range DOTS, a serious take on visually aligning seating accommodations and portable fireplaces to one harmonious eye-pleasing landscape of design pieces. The modern interpretation of an old camp fire situation consists of cylindrical seats and shackle cages, all following a minimalistic demand albeit they are made of top quality galvanized and powder coated steel ensuring a steady seat as also a durable shield against the flames. Of course, with the ecological demand in background, they’re completely weather proved and smokeless burning flames ensur a safe indoor use.

Based on the Italian designer's own 1978 Proust chair, Alessandro Mendini has created a series of 14 miniature ceramic versions in conjunction with SUPEREGO editions.

The original chair (source):
The Proust Armchair was first designed by Alessandro Mendini in 1978. This unique armchair represents the original meeting between handcraft and design, between classic and modern. It is part of Mendini's series "redesigns furniture". Believing that Modern Design had reached the end of its natural life and that designers could no longer create innovative designs, Mendini "redesigned" acknowledged classics. The Proust chair is inspired from the Louis XV style. Mendini was attempting to create a feel for the work of late XIX Century author Marcel Proust and used a style of chair of the period.

above: The Proust Armchair, now produced by Capellini, is hand-carved on a hand-painted wooden frame, upholstered with fixed multicolor fabric matching the colours of the structure. This armchair is the re-edition of one of the historic pieces of contemporary italian design. It is available in two multicolored versions.

Each miniature ceramic Proust chair measure 40cm high. The solid colors are limited to 55 of each, the three metallic versions are limited to 45 of each and the two pixel patterned versions are limited to 35 editions of each.
