MIX AND MATCH

0 Comments

It was only yesterday that we posted up news of KiBiSi's new design collaboration with Biomega, and today we thought we'd share another great piece of work from them.

This is 'Shanghay Chair coloured by Wood Wood' designed by KiBiSi for the Danish Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo 2010.

Conceived as a single segment of the long social bench that orbits the pavilion both inside and outside, the piece is a collaboration with the fashion brand Wood Wood, but is now being launched in a limited edition of 250 copies produced by HAY.

Wood Wood have picked out six new colours for the chair - simple black and white, a subtle pink, twilight blue, a minty green, and a natural oak finish to top it off in true Scandinavian style.

The actual structure of the Shanghai chair is composed of four small boards folded around each other to form the simplest chair imaginable, merging legs and seat, back and structure into these constituent parts.

Since the chair can be acquired in multiple colours and is easy to disassemble and reassemble, you can create your own hybrid designs by recombining any mix of colours you like.

Also, this might be a good moment to fill you in on KiBiSi if you were wondering...

Having collaborated on multiple projects for years, three men, Lars Holme Larsen, Bjarke Ingels and Jens Martin Skibsted decided to turn their intuitive inclination to work together into a full time collaboration.

Taking the name from their respective companies; Kilo Design, BIG and Skibsted Ideation, KiBiSi now stands as an idea-driven industrial design firm working out of Copenhagen and drawing on their collective knowledge of architecture, design, furniture, electronics, transportation, contemporary culture and lifestyle to make some really super stuff.

So now you know.
