How I love thee... let me count the ways...Knotted chair

This lightweight chair combines industrial techniques and handcrafting. A thread constructed of aramid and carbon fibres, is knotted into the shape of a chair and then impregnated with epoxy resin and hung in a frame to dry, leaving the final form in the hands of gravity. The Knotted chair was a result of Droog’s 1996 Dry Tech project.

Bottoms up doorbell

What we know as a doorbell, a square box, does not actually indicate its function. In Bottoms up nothing is hidden. The sound is created and symbolised by the crystal wineglasses. This doorbell announces guests with a musical toast.

Treetrunk Bench

A fallen tree can serve as a seat. The addition of bronze classical chair backs makes it a proper piece of furniture, a crossing between nature and culture. Jurgen Bey makes clear that it is ridiculous to transport trees when they are locally available. Therefore only the chair backs are for sale.
