Florence, Green Pill & Slide

Today I would like to post three furniture designs I developed during the last year. Two of them were presented for the Sustainable Singapore Furniture contest in 2011: "Florence" & "Green Pill"

They were both designed following the idea of combining "green life" and furniture. 

"Florence" is an outdoor table, where plants can grow from the top and hang at both sides. The top of the table is recovered with a special varnish to prevent it from weather damages or while watering the plants, even if it is just with the water left after a meal.




The "Green Pill" design was however a more conceptual design. Aware of the lack of green zones we have in our cities, we decided to introduce in a small way that vegetation inside our houses without taking too much space, obtaining this way the sweet essence of nature as well as a natural air filter!
The sofa had also a couple of fluorescent lights that not only helped the plants inside to grow but also offered an ambient light to the room at night.




And, at last but not least, we would like to introduce you the "Slide" armchair, presented for the NUDE exhibition 2011 and designed while working in the studio "Que Maten al Diseñador". The armchair was tough for people who just moved into a small apartment and they would like to have some extra space when they are alone, but also have an optional seat when they have some company. This is how we came to the next idea: Just by pulling on both sides of the armchair you can turn it into a sofa for two! The inner part of the arms fold down and the back part of the sofa folds over so the seat and the back comfortably level for both users.
