"Legacy furniture manufacturers have been asleep at the wheel" say Rarify founders

Nostalgia and risk-averse business practices have stifled innovation in the American furniture industry, Rarify founders David Rosenwasser and Jeremy Bilotti tell Dezeen in this interview.

Rarify is a platform for buying and learning about furniture and lighting, with a focus on vintage, hard-to-find pieces.

In their Pennsylvania warehouse, Bilotti and Rosenwasser believe they hold one of the world's largest collections of American mid-century modern furniture.

But despite their ongoing fascination with the brands associated with the mid-century period, such as Herman Miller, Knoll and Steelcase, the pair are highly critical of these companies' role in design today.

"Legacy manufacturers have been asleep at the...

The Surprising Origin of this Toyota Award's Form

At first blush this Toyota Award, by Japanese industrial designer Tokujin Yoshioka, is mystifying.

What is the form meant to represent? Is it arbitrary? Yoshioka is, after all, described as a contemporary artist as much as a designer.

However, tipping the trophy over reveals the origins of the form:

Yoshioka extruded the form of the Toyota logo, then cut the extrusion into a conical shape.

It's made, by the way, out of recycled aluminum sourced from Toyota vehicles.

A Short Film Joins the Timeless Swiss Masked Tradition of Silvesterchlausen

In communities throughout Switzerland’s Appenzell Hinterland and Midland regions, a unique tradition with enigmatic origins unfolds around the New Year. Known as Silvesterchlausen, the custom entails a group of boys and men who don remarkable, handmade costumes with masks and headdresses that represent rural, wild, and natural scenes.

“Silvesterchlausen,” a dreamy short film by writer and director Andrew Norman Wilson, highlights this regional seasonal event, which occurs on December 31 and January 13. The first date marks the turn of the new year on the Gregorian calendar, while January 13 denotes the same on the Julian calendar. The ornately dressed mummers,...

Бояться ли конкуренции со стороны нейросетей

Проверочный вопрос, чтобы понять, бояться ли конкуренции со стороны нейросетей. Вы в основном делаете, что вам говорят, или что хотите? Если первое, то стоит бояться, а если второе — то не стоит.

Button table and Stool X by Babai

Dezeen Showroom: Ukrainian brand Babai has released a design-forward table and stool for children that aims to fit seamlessly into playrooms and adult living spaces alike.

Designed and handcrafted in Ukraine, the Button table and Stool X are both made from high-grade birch plywood and have a structure that Babai co-founders Vika Moskalenko and Olena Zakaliuk aimed to make both minimal and playful.

Three simple structural elements come together in the design – two base sections and a top – and each of these carries its own colour, which the designers say...

Furniture Using Indigenous Volcanic CMUs as Ballast

Industrial designer Octavio Barrera hails from Spain's Canary Islands, where this project was executed. Barrera was hired to design a full complement of furniture—benches, tables, shelves, etc.—for the offices of the Rayuela Association, a community organization in Tenerife.

To keep things affordable, Barrera designed everything out of plywood, all with straight cuts and unfinished edges. These pieces would be too lightweight to reliably stand on their own. Thus for ballast he specified Canary Island concrete block, the region's version of CMUs, which are made using local volcanic rock:
