NYC-based designer Mark A. Reigelman II will install “Stair Squares” across the front steps of Brooklyn's Borough Hall from August 17-26 this summer. The public furniture pieces are designed not only as an aesthetic asset, but as a functional asset as well. They will be strategically integrated into urban landscape and incorporated into daily life.
“Neighborhood workers can take advantage of some al fresco lunch dining while passersby get a sprinkle of color while walking past the historic government building.”

There is a comment on floger by Cory O'Malley

'A striking new chair prototype from Turkish design studio DesignNobis, this Floger chair successfully reimagines the stackable chair. For anyone who has ever thought the stacking chair is generally a little uncomfortable, the Floger creates a countoured mold to fit the shape of the user, and I'm seeing possibility of interior upholstery, or at least cushions. For stacking, the chair folds into a clamshell, although it's considerably larger than most. But I see this more in the home than in the high school assembly hall, anyway. If the seat can feature cushioning, I think this piece might be a unique bridge between stacking chairs that sit stored away and your comfortable, everyday lounge. ' By: cory o'malley

BACKTONATURE is a vase for exteriors that recovers the natural relationship between land and mineral vegetation through the direct exchange of liquids and substances.This project recovers the common object for liquids changing his material (ceramic) and context, but conserving the function. Collecting into a pile different vases widens the possibility to have compositions, offering a symbolic image of the interactions between man and nature.
