I love this Chair bookcase by Gail Peter Borden I just found today.
Divided into three systems, there is [1] a cockpit chair that has an adjustable angle of repose and uses a compressive slotted connection, [2] a structural frame and cover/cloak that uses a fingered connection, and [3] an infill shelving system that deploys a pegged connection. The 237 books complete the remainder of the composition.
This was found on yankodesign store

An exhibit at Cheongju international craft here http://eng.okcj.org/home/main.do
The Lost chair is a great idea. It shape and feel reminds of the
B&B Italia tufty range which I've blogged on
here twice ( I do love it that much)
Anyway the designer Daisuke Motogi born in 1981 whom started Daisuke Motogi Architecture in 2010 and has some stunning ideas already on the site.
I love the way you can add books flowers, whatever you want in to the chair.
For more great inspiration check out other works from Daisuke

I think Babini are stunning example of modern and contemporary Italian furniture.
This pictured example is from the "must" range which is within the Executive office range.
I Really love the form of the table seating and desk with its powerful lines and feelling of stength.
From The Babini site:
A easy and round design, the use of glass together with aluminium and wengé, the particular worktops connection. It tells of a rigorous design focused on professionals and managers’ requirements, who look at the office as the interpretation of their own working and living style.
I'm sure to blog some more from Babini but in for now why not check out the
Must range and entire collection

New this year at the Milan furniture fastival is the amazing Husk Chair from non other than one of the biggest italian designer brand B&B italia.
The Husk chair is designed by no other than Patricia Urquiola.
A moulded plastic shell and a series of soft cushions: these are the basic elements of the Husk armchair.
A celebration of softness, Husk is the result of a long development process to create a versatile armchair that is both unique in its own right and able to complement even the most classic sofas.

Designer Mieke Meijer has produced some amazing looking wood made from newspaper.
The newspaperwood is super creative as the layers of paper reproduce a wood like grain.
This first image is of the newspaper wood showing off its grain
The designer has produced a few items, one that stood out to me is this great looking desk with chair..
For other items made of the Newspaper wood check out Vij5 site here:

Designer Pieter Brenner has designed a chair made of Sugar! yes a sugar chair...
Odd yes but it's a great looking chair.
From reading the press on the site it pretty new (2011) and the info is a little low on if you stick to it or the conditions the sugar chair must be kept in.. Will bees like it ? :)
The sugarchair can be shaped by its owner into a personalized and unique form. Thru the shaping and the treatment of its owner, the sugarchair will turn into a very unique object.
Find out more direct from the Sugar chair site here
