Josh Urso Design

Puff pendants and Knoop Rope coffee tables, oh my!  Josh Urso Design explores the application of "resin impregnated" materials in these two unique collections.  The Knoop Rope tables are made from lengths of rope (400 - 700 feet, depending on style), which have been imbued with resin and formed into cubes.  The Puff Pendants go through a similar process, turning soft, mesh fabric into deceivingly hard folds that diffuse a nice, warm light.  An interesting method, to say the least!

Council - Mute Chair

I realize I gave collaborative design group Council a bit of a hard one in the previous post. To make up for it, I'm singing their praises over this chair. It's beautifully designed and looks ergonomic enough to give birth in. I'll take it!

The Mute chair is designed to inspire serenity and calm. The simple, uninterrupted lines flow gently around the fully upholstered seat; the simple base is made of powder-coated steel. Seats, upholstered in 100% wool fabric, come in Charcoal, White, Blue and Red.

Can I get that covered in silver please, miss?

This was released a while ago, but I just now got around to really thinking about it. Although it's gorgeous to behold, I think the idea of a chunk of wood slathered in a precious metal is a bit like giving the middle finger to 95% of the world. That's just me.

This striking piece puts equal emphasis on surface and substance. Using a proprietary process, a massive block of wood is coated with a brilliant layer of silver, resulting in a piece whose stunning surface does nothing to hide the individuality and character of the wood beneath.
