This chair is an approach to neo-japanese modernismusing a traditional weaving method. The shadows cast by the woven seat and fabric covering the sides produce a soft touch, differing from that of ordinary craft work.

This is one of the best ideas I´ve ever seen. A curtain which you can shape to any form. Through the incorporated structure and magnets, it stays in the shape you push and pull it to. Really great worl Florian.

It looks exactly like a sea-urchin! No, it isn’t the small, globular, spiny sea creatures found in oceans all over the world, it is a lounge chair with RVS-frame which is cover by 8ooo cable-ties.

A collection of handmade products by Studio OOOMS. “With a lot of patience we’ll be rewarded with beautiful new structures, which can only emerge by fervent monkish work.”

You might recognize theseeeee…… OOOMS’s famous Wooden USB Stick

“USB memory sticks are always nice to have around when transferring files from computer to computer. These sticks from studio OOOMS are made to stand out from their natural environment of computers and offices. The sticks are picked from the woods and are individually selected for their natural beauty, and then professionally handmade into unique and personal USB memory sticks.”

This Schizo Vase gets its name from Schizophrenia, a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by abnormalities in the perception or expression of reality.
“This vase by Studio OOOMS has two faces. Because of the ribbed surface the silhouet of two different shapes can be seen. Is the one shape more real than the other? “

MR. SIMON
Aaron Feliu and Nacho Frias, two designers that in a parallel way of its own projects, join to personal experience in the field of design.In this way Ms Simon is born, a
creature that allows us to design without rules or limitations.

THIS DOES NOT WORK
“Ceci n’est pas une chaise,” some would say … This is not a chair or a table of course.
It is obvious that a table is used to put objects on the surface, and a chair to sit comfortably.
This sweeping definition creates a concept that prevails in the primary function versus form.

With this concept we developed in an ironic way that some products apparently do not meet its primary function,
but if we approach and experience, we see that above all these objects meet its mission: OPERATE.

 
INSTABLE
At first glance it seems that this table does not comply with their role. His apparent inclination is solved with a transparent level that returns the horizontal to the table.

SENSILLA
It seems that something is wrong in the design of this chair. At first, what we see as a backup exaggeratedly low, which gives discomfort to the chair, is actually an armrest.
The real support is a sheet of methacrylate that is unnoticed because of its transparency.

The aesthetic based on pure lines, seeking to reflect the essence of these items of furniture, giving greater importance to the concept.

Can you picture yourself enjoying a snack with Tuex?

Tuex chair offers you a comfortable cocktail of satisfaction, elegance, pleasure and infinite relax to savour in your terrace, in your pool, in your favourite club, at the beach, or in the intimacy of your home.

Tuex’s hexagonal pattern has reminiscences of the simplified organic forms found on the seabed. It combines the ample possibilities offered by the unique geometric pattern used in the development of its steel structure and fabric, in a merge of unequal forms that speak the same language.

The cleanness of the structure, formed by three interweaved skids, shows a visual lightness that disguises its real firmness.

By simply choosing the appropriate fabric, Tuex can be used both in open spaces or at home.

Here, Tuex is shown in its version for open spaces, in a fretwork neoprene fabric which, due to its elastic properties, allows a complete tension of the material and provides a contradictory visual contrast with the comfort of the chair. Additionally, neoprene has all the advantages of a material designed for outdoor aquatic sports.

For its use at home, Tuex is provided in a tridimensional fretwork that is fixed to the structure with a nautical rope, allowing an easily removal and cleaning of the cloth while taking advantage of the stackable properties of Tuex.

We also offer the possibility of developing Tuex in different leather designs.

Tuex offers a mixture of concepts and forms that make it a perfect companion to enjoy the best moments of your day.

Starts in 2003 as a non-profit organization, covering activities such as product and furniture design, as well as organizing and interior designing exhibitions.

March 2007 Kiitos Design stablished as a creative studio. The association gives way to the company.

Ana Pérez Aguilar and Eva del Cotillo Contrí are running Kiitos Design today.

Our activity is Industrial Design, touching fields from furniture to interior design. Nowadays, our interests are those of an Industrial Design team: not just sticking to mere aesthetics, but looking for solutions to find a cleaner, more ecological, easier world; and in this sense, more beautiful.

Felt protective tablecloths
Made in contrasted colours felt. Upper layer is cut and joins the lower making one piece. Feel the textures, feel at home, feel yourself back at grandma’s…

Feel, felt, felt.
Felt cloths and rugs are inspired on those crochet table cloths that our grandma’s used to make and put everywhere. The protective function is still valuable, whilst its shape and view have been revisited. Felt are made out of coloured wool, in 1 mm layers for the tablecloths.

Roof carpet
Soft felt tiles give shape to a carpet made to dream or walk barefoot, to feel the warmth of wool in the coldest winter evenings. It suggests the idea of having a roof of our own, to look at the stars or the moon just inside of our living room. Wool felt gives resistance and durability to this carpet of soft and pleasant shapes.6 mm pieces are layered in a two-pitched roof. A soft and nice roof where to feel catlike. Roof is made in greyish blue for northern roofs and in dark orange for mediterranean ones.

Luigi flowerpot & candleholder
Stockable piece Luigi allows users to pass a flower through it as long as needed by adding more or less items. On the same time, the cuts on its base are not casual but are thought to hold a candle on them. Luigi can be rearranged at every moment to meet the needs of the user.

The Big Piece room divider
The big piece grows as much as needed, giving an organic and irregular look to the spaces. Three modular pieces on double corrugated cardboard, match like in a puzzle, so it’s simple to build a divider in minutes. The same plane can be generated in horizontal; this increases the constructive possibilities.

The big piece is specially interesting for ephemeral spaces, being cardboard an ecological and cheap material.

With the waste generated by the big piece, leftovers is created , a lamp with lots of little cardboard pieces that remind us the old classics in gold and crystal, but in a more accessible version.

This couple philosophizes about use and waste products of today, and how we use long life materials to get tired of our furniture in few years. Please remember to recycle yours in the paper waste container.

Taxi stools
The woolen felt balls upholstery for these stools is inspired in the taxi drivers massage seats, typical at least in Spain. The base was mechanized with a numerical control machine in a soft material for the prototype, but it can be made of wood, plastic or iron with different techniques.

This kind of upholstery gives the softnes of the inner foam and of the outer fabric in only one material, a natural one: wool.

Space Nude 2008
As well as furniture and objects, we like to work with ephemeral architecture. In nude08, we’ve tried to generate a neutral ambience in which every one of the 34 different projects was well supported by the space. On the other hand we wanted to give a touch, something that turned visitors heads towards the young designers’ space. That’s the reason of the magenta lines around every greyscale space.

Nude meeting point, in the center of the whole nude08, was a square thought to enjoy the talks organized by Lladró during the fair. The softblocks used as walls, improve the sound inside the square, avoiding every noise from the corridor. The mountain of cubes can be seen from far, announcing the space.

Covitaca is a creative studio founded by Covadonga Carreño Álvarez that develops interior, graphic and industrial design projects.

I like to know that I’ll be able to work at something that I enjoy doing, where I don’t mind spending hours in front of a screen or a blank sheet of paper …I feel fortunate because I can do what I want! I would like to create objects that have a message, useful for people, that excite them …I like simple objects but they have to say something. They must speak for themselves about their purpose and function. I like to observe daily life, gestures, actions …and create from there!”

Oh!jear

Why waste space with furniture that we are not using? Do you want to hang something? Just move the sheets that make up this rack. When you don’t need it, fold it to the wall and it will be unnoticed.

Mybags

Re-use. Re-think. Everyday we are becoming more concerned about the environment, but why not really do something for it? “mybags” is a series of lampshades made from crocheted plastic bags that are no longer useable. Is it not better to find another use than to throw it out? Give them a second chance…

Siamesas

There are things in life that must be together. Where would be Laurel without Hardy? And a photograph without it’s frame? These chairs were born to live together. They are Siamese. They could be separate, but then they wouldn’t be the same… they need each other to show off.

En.llamas

We spend all day in the kitchen preparing the perfect dinner. Tablecloth, crockery, cutlery, glassware… we even have the small details planned. Since we always concentrate in the kitchen when we invite someone to have dinner, why should we forget the kitchen during the dinner? En.llamas is a candlestick that reminds us that the fundamental role of the kitchen is to prepare our dinner. The eyes of the oven get dressed up for the occasion and come to “warm up” our table.

Raindrops

Who said that the rain is annoying? Don’t umbrellas do their job well? Raindrops is an umbrella collection with messages for the viewers. You can feel protected because “here it is not raining”.

[a]salvo

How many times arrives at a restaurant, a meeting … and ask yourself, where I put my things? Because there are objects that speak for themselves, with this chair is clear, under you and in a safe place. Simplify. Let us make our life a little easier.
