Saving Money with Anti Crise Chair by Pedro Gomes
From the first sight Anti Crise Chair is the designer's funny invention to make the ordinary thing being extraordinary. But the main idea of Portuguese industrial designer Pedro Gomes, who has created this chair, was totally different. In the era of difficulties and crises he tried to do his best as a designer - he proposed to the world a facility to save the salary. There are three strategic parts of his product: the first one is a traditional money pot; the second part is a feeling of emergency which is connected with the only one way to have an access to the saved up money - to cut a chair with a handsaw integrated into the back of the chair; and the third part is a birth of a new material personality after the procedure of getting money. Pedro Gomes positions his product as an experimental object, a furniture piece played as a manifest.

It needs using of high technology with constructing 3D model of a shape to make many future similar objects.

Bookshelf with Letters by Studio Saporiti
Roberto Saporiti and Eva Alessandrini from Italian Studio Saporiti have given the opportunity to enjoy the “ABC” bookshelf to the world. The design of this product has defined its name. The bookshelf consists of individual cubes that have various partitions within. Due to the partitions the cubes form numbers and letters, which can be organized into the sentences, as if they are written with a help of the pieces of boards. So we have a “speaking” bookshelf. On the photo below you can read a sentence “read your book case”. The cubes of three different sizes can be assembled not only into a bookcase. Using your fantasy you can construct different combinations making a table or a chair, for example.

Side by Side Chairs by Twodesigners
Urban world is very static and has not very much fantasy in it. Usual furniture is created using the same principles as it used in the previous centuries. “Twodesigners” gives us possibility to diversify our environment, to invent other purposes for simple things. This project took part of Cork city culture 2010. Eleban - the “side by side chairs” – is rather simple and encouraging to fantasize construction. Looking at this construction the desire to rotate it and to invent different missions for it appears. This chair is rather transportable and can be placed both indoors and outdoors. The connection of several chairs can be used as airport chairs or in another public places.

Growing Tables by Austrian Designers Perludi
It’s always difficult to choose convenient table and chair for a child. Children become higher with every month and it’s not good for them to use the same furniture. Austrian furniture designers Perludi have introduced an adjustable table CASPAR for children, which is designed to be able to grow in height. The design and form of the table are very simple but pursue the philosophy of ergonomic, versatile and environment-friendly children’s furniture. In combination with a solid-wood tabletop colorful legs impart an infantine look to the table. The legs are placed into the tabletop and secured with rings made from natural rubber. To adjust the height you can simply slide the legs up or down within their holes. The construction is very simple and genial. Such design is very important from the perspective of renewable resources and short transport routes for a low carbon footprint.
