I have found a Tumblr alike way to post to my original Chair Blog
Via a very simple Wordpress Plugin, Quickpost.
Therefore my posts here will fade out.
Thank you for your attention!
Hope to see you soon (or back) at Chair Blog!

designers of the future: martino gamper at design miami / basel 2008 —- ‘terazzo tables’ by martino gamper - image © designboom as one of the ‘four designers of the future’ at design miami/ basel 2008, martino gamper presented new work inside the markthalle basel. each of the designers were commissioned by design miami/ to create new works using concrete and wool and document the creative process of the work with a short video. terazzo tables by martino gamper ‘for the designers of the future exhibition, I chose to emphasize working with concrete in the form of terazzo. terazzo is traditionally used as a floor wal covering, made by layering marble or stone chips in mortar and then grinding them to a polished level surface. I have created a series of low and high tables, while using this special terazzo mosaic technique. in the process i used a brass frame work as the formwork for pouring the terazzo concrete mix. once the mix hardened the top surface was polished and wooden legs added to the bottom’.

‘solids of revolution’ - concrete and felt stools by max lamb ‘solids of revolution are two collections of stools in concrete and wool felt formed using rotational cutting processes. two inherently disparate materials unified by property and by process. hard, heavy concrete becomes lightweight and malleable. soft, supple wool becomes rigid and strong. the convergence of two polar opposites at a state of physical property where the same processes apply’. ‘concrete stools’ by max lamb - from the collection ‘solids of revolution’ - image © designboom concrete stools ‘autoclaved cellular concrete is a foamed concrete containing a high volume of air in a cell-like structure. the material is five times lighter than concrete, highly insulating and easily machined making it perfect for turning on a lathe’.
