Commissioned by Wallpaper* Magazine, the Disco Chair by Kiwi + Pom is a bespoke one-off illuminated furniture concept. Constructed from 200 linear metres of illuminated wire, the chair transforms into a neon rainbow when powered. A pulse setting enables the chair to flash on and off creating an instant disco installation making it the perfect accessory to any home disco.

Ron Arad | Restless
Barbican Art Gallery, London
Open Until: 16th May 2010

Bold, experimental and inventive, Ron Arad defies categorisation. This internationally acclaimed London-based maverick is variously described as a designer, architect and artist. Ron Arad: Restlessis the first major survey exhibition of Arad’s work in the UK.

Spanning three decades, the show traces the development of Arad’s designs from his early post-punk approach, assembling works from readymade parts to his technologically-advanced sculptural objects made of highly polished metals.

Taking the classic children’s tale Goldilocks and the Three Bears as its starting point, Sit Down invites the visitor to consider just what makes a successful seat. Is it comfort? Is it style? Or ease of use?
The exhibition is open from 6th February till 5th September at the V&A Museum of Childhood.

Swiss designer Michel Bussien’s Growing Chair evokes pertinent ideas for the 21st century: nature trapped within the confines of man, manicured at his whim, or a specimen preserved behind glass – like fossils in a museum.

Diesel’s Home Collection recently was enriched by the addition of two new partners – both  leaders in the world of interiors – Foscarini for lighting and Moroso for furniture.

An artist as well as a designer, Chris Ferebee divides his time between furniture /product design, photography, mixed media and graphic design.
