Up-and-coming Spanish designer Jaime Hayon, brings us a series of chic side chairs from his second Showtime furnishings line, aptly named Act II, for Barcelona Design. Drawing inspiration from wood, lacquer, wool, nylon and metal, Hayon’s desire was to create a simple form that could be accessorized in several ways, much like a car. The ability to choose between a high or low seat back, four types of upholstery in a myriad of colors, optional armrests, wood or lacquered finishes and two leg structures, ensure this side chair is at home in a variety of settings, as it blurs the line between classic and modern.

The Brothers Dressler continue to explore the endless usages of plywood with the addition of their Onedge rocker. Constructed from a single sheet of sustainable baltic birch plywood, the rocker consists of four repeated elements, turned on edge, which are then bolted together. The design provides form, structure and comfort with its cantilevered design allowing for movement and flex. The Onedge rocker is fabricated with as little waste as possible, and even extraneous materials are reused in other projects.
