    Yes Cas, not downtown which by the way is being restored and looks lovely specially at night. My view is of the most important lung of the city "Bosque de chapultepec".

              While on a search for new things on A-POC I came across this. Interesting, but doesn't seem so practical.
              </p>

              <h2 id="post-8910">Pleated Recycled Textile Chair by Nendo</h2>
              by
              Abigail Doan

              <div class="entrytext">



              </p>



              It?s no secret that needless waste and heaps of scraps are part of
              the equation in today?s textile and garment manufacturing process.
              Granted there are some amazing results in terms of cutting edge fashion
              and eye-catching furniture designs, but this often comes at a huge cost
              in terms of the throw-away elements. The Cabbage Chair by Japanese designers, Nendo,
              defies this trend by taking waste paper from the pleated fabric
              industry and turning it into an organic marvel. This gorgeous recycled
              textile waste chair was designed for the XXIst Century Man exhibition curated by Issey Miyake. It?s no coincidence (visually) that ?Pleats Please? has found a new expression in this layered demonstration of waste as upcycled renewal.</p>



              <span id="more-8910"></span></p>



              The Cabbage Chair
              is created from a wrapped cylinder of pleated paper that is typically
              used to create the crisp, signature folds in Miyake?s garments. A roll
              of this by-product paper was slit vertically by Nendo?s designers, and
              a small nest of a chair was revealed by systematically peeling away
              each layer. Resins used during the original paper production process
              add strength and a bit of memory to the shaping process, while the
              pleats themselves give the chair elasticity and a springy cushioning.</p>



              Amazingly, the Cabbage Chair has absolutely no internal structure or
              framework, nor is it assembled with nails, screws, or additional
              textile elements. Reminiscent on some levels of Frank Gehry?s cardboard chairs,
              at least in terms of ?layering as reinforcement?, this perhaps more
              free-form interpretation suggests rebirth as well as comfort derived
              from resourceful, shared, product life cycle designs. As Nendo has
              described, the Cabbage Chair fits (our) active, optimistic, and
              forward-moving ?21st century selves,? the kind of people who, to borrow
              a concept Miyake expressed during a meeting with us, ?don?t just wear
              clothes, but shed their skin?.</p>



              The XXIst Century Man exhibition curated by Issey Miyake, will be at 21_21 Design Sight in Tokyo from 30 March to 6 July, 2008. </p>

                    looks like a gina pocket
                    One wonders where it will end, when everything has become gay.

                      most've you have probably seen this already but for those who havent rick owens makes some interesting furniture, i think it originally started with him using leftover scraps of leather to make a few things and then grew from there</p>

                      here are a few pictures of what i think is his house</p>

                        I never find anything I have to buy at that sale. Was there anything good? I feel I get better pricing at the ICFF.

                            I think Marc Newson is can be considered as one of the best.</p>

                            He himself is an industrial designer (design ranging from aircraft interior, lounge, restaurant, to clothes even car and chair).
