Surprised?

A bunch of ill chairs…

So for some reason, I came across about 42 beautiful chairs that I would have if my apartment wasn’t a small Brooklyn closet. You know how us ninjas roll, though. So anyways, I decided to take my favorites and wrap them into a single post rather than completely overhauling myninjaplease into a furniture blog. I hope I did the right thing. Anyways, peep game:

The Fresh Fat Easy Chair, by Tom Dixon, is made of hand-woven plastic.

available from furnitureseen

This is the Pigalle Easy Armchair by Cobonpue

available at twentieth in LA

Each of these Strada chairs from stew design workshop is handcrafted and unique.

also at twentieth

This is Alicia by Gregg Fleishman Industries.

It’s available from the Fleishman himself.

Above is another great one from Fleishman, the Caterpillar.

And last but not least, I couldn’t resist putting up a couple pictures of the Levi Table, the wooden tabletop with an acrylic base that appears to be floating in the middle of the room. Those transparent chairs are a bit overkill though, I must say:

Oh yeah, you can get the Levi Table at item

Drop a comment and let us know which one of these you would cop, or which chair you already snatched up that’s iller… (I’ll believe it when I see it.)

Got an iPod and still iPoor?

This is for you ninjas who almost copped the iPoor t-shirt but instead pinched your pennies and actually got the real thing. A pretty self-explanatory do-it-yourself iPod boombox. Not the cleanest ever, but definitely easy and functional. Just call it the iHoodbox. You know mine would have subs though, but I guess I’m just a ninja.

Foldable Chairs and Tables Made of Paper

From mocoloco:

"Molo creates and distributes unique and innovative products designed by partners Todd MacAllen and Forsythe. Thata€™s Softseating above, a series of seating elements that use a honeycomb structure that fan open to form stools, benches, and loungers. A sort of fan-flatpack (fanpack?). The multi-use elements can be used as seating, low tables, or even stacked as building blocks and to top it off ita€™s all made out of paper."

These are extremely creative and easily storable, but I just wonder how comfortable they are.

Dont Hate, Fabricate!

Watch a video and read an article of how to build a backwards water fountain out of LEDs.

Looks as though I got a little weekend project.

A Perfect Complement to the Chair You Grew

To follow up on our growable posts, we’ve got a growable table to join your other arborsculpture creations.

This table is different from the other growable furniture we’ve featured in that it isn’t completely grown from trees. Instead, the Topo Tabla has plastic inserts that fit into the tabletop and house root systems for plans that you can plant in the surface. Definitely jiggy, and now you can roll your trees amongst the trees.
