The WING Lounge Chair from Lyx takes the defining elements of the classic wing lounge chair concept, pays homage to Eames’ molded plywood lounger, kicks it up to 88 m.p.h and zips off into the future. Lyx has pretty much “KILLED IT”, as they say these days with the first and only chair to ever be certified by The Space Foundation. (It also uses the largest single piece of bendwood ever used in a chair, but that’s technical talk.) Using visco elastic foam (you know, memory foam, that stuff Nasa invented to give those screaming infommercial evangelists something to scream about), Lyx has developed a lounging recliner that is “the closest you can get to weightlessness.”

The “Design Your Own” era has presented some really innovative alternatives to the standard out-of-the box solutions we’ve become so comfortable with. Dekast, by Michel Doyer Furniture Designs, is one of the most exciting things we’ve seen in modular storage, since perhaps BluDot. Each panel can be custom “retro”-fitted with your choice of Kvadrat textiles (a name that has remained synonymous with the most iconic mid-century and retro-modern classic furniture for almost half a decade).

Anyone who has read this blog is probably aware of my deep affinity for all things mod and modular. What you may not know about is my deep affinity for Japanese food. I can’t help but smile at the very sight of Mealbox, an idea that takes the concept of traditional Japanese dining and adds a completely unique twist, by allowing you to assemble or disassemble this dining set, literally like you would a puzzle, and stow it in a convenient little storage unit.
