Original prototype (and 1:5 model) that became the Original prototype (and 1:5 model) that became the OPEN lounge chair @gemlafabrikersab. The intention was to combine craft and technology, a steambent frame with a 3d knit backrest and seat support.
Some phone photos of the PARALLEL collection as sh Some phone photos of the PARALLEL collection as shown in Milan at the start of the month - Parallel is a minimal series of furniture made from thin strips of solid Teak. The series consists of a table, bench and chair. The collection was shown for the first time as part of an exhibition called ‘Slow hand design’ at Superstudio during the Salone del mobile 2022 in Milan. The Parallel project was development on the back of a pre-pandemic Thai craft tour searching for skilled local partners. The pieces are a collaboration with local wood furniture manufacturer Deesawat, who are based just outside of Bangkok. The Teak is sourced from a local sustainable plantation and all pieces have a knockdown construction for shipping.
Various development images for the OPEN lounge cha Various development images for the OPEN lounge chair. - Starting from a simple 1:5 maquette in 2014, model on the right, to a 1:1 cardboard test to finalising the backrest curve in the Gemla factory. After completing initial 3d cad, which too much curvature to be viable, we had to simplify to make a 1:1 prototype in 2015. The prototype was shown to Gemla in 2017 to start discussions and eventually be released at the start of this month in Milan. It was has taken huge amounts of effort and emotion, over many years, so very happy to final have it released! :) - @gemlafabrikersab
Gemla OPEN lounge chair with neck pillow. Solid be Gemla OPEN lounge chair with neck pillow. Solid bent european ash treated with hardwax oil stain. White natural leather and paper twine. - Made from all natural materials, the Gemla OPEN is high back wooden lounge chair. The chair consists of two curved elements of steam bent timber pinned together by an solid wood seat frame. A sprung backrest is created from paper twine neatly weaved back and forth across the curved form. The open weave provides great support while also giving a nod to Gemla’s early history of manufacturing Tennis racquets, hence the name Gemla OPEN. - Shown with STAM side table by @sami_kallio_studio - @gemlafabrikersab
Card models + concept sketches for FLÛTE mirror @ Card models + concept sketches for FLÛTE mirror @ext_design - Often projects arrive in very different ways. Flute mirror was inspired from tests with the fluted borosilicate glass tube used in the Peacock lamp. After various attempts to get the tube to light uniformly from LED’s placed within the tube, we noticed that by placing the LED strip behind the tube and shine it through, the tube illumination is so much better. This method is perfect as provides quality light on the wall behind and soft light towards the user.

new FLÛTE mirror x @ext_design - A mirror embrac new FLÛTE mirror x @ext_design - A mirror embracing modern and classic styles at the same time. Its minimal lines combined with classic proportions and modern details give life to a piece with strong yet silent features. With a slim profile that hides its real depth, Flûte appears to float off the wall. The bevelled-mirror doors open to reveal a generous cupboard inside, offering ample space for most needs. The name Flûte refers to the ribbed glass extrusions found above and below the mirror. The glass tubes provides warm, diffused lighting towards the user, while the intensity is stronger against the wall.

Single strap option + colourways for Bubble mask. Single strap option + colourways for Bubble mask. Front thinner bungee cord acts a bit like suspension allowing for a better fit when face and jaw moves. Bubble mask is reusable transparent face mask to provide high protection from any contagious airborne transmission of respiratory disease now and in future. The mask project development in conjunction with the DeTao Masters academy in Shanghai. Bubble is designed to provide a simple comfortable, cost effective solution with higher protection than current single use options. Bubble is specifically designed to protect at the high levels needed for healthcare workers, patients and others in the health service. Transparent masks support important communication issues for anyone with hearing difficulties or are deaf, patients/service users with cognitive problems such as dementia, and those with learning disabilities. The unique construction provides a solution where all parts can be dissembled, washed and then reassembled to combat the environmental impact of single use products. Innovative features include an omni-directional filter placed around the perimeter and a unique nano coating that is applied applied to the outer and inner surfaces. The nano coating is anti-fog, self-cleaning and anti-bacterial. The hepa filter is replaceable and has a large enough surface area to provide ease of breathing without compromising visual communication. All parts dissemble to be easily cleaned for daily use. All materials can be seperated and for ease to recycle at the end of life. #industrialdesign #respiratory #mask #protect #inclusive #hepafilter #nanocoating #communication #sustainable #productdesign #detao #design #samuelwilkinson

The thick timber structure had a bit of twist across the frame so we added an additional cross bar at the front, matching the double lengths that run front to back. The chair was launched last year as part of special collaboration between @scpltd & @ishinomakilab.
