Plopp Standard Polished Copper Seating by Zieta
By Zieta
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
Plopp stool is an icon and a bestseller of Zieta Prozessdesign. The unique, toy-looking and playful shape of Plopp is an effect of an innovative forming method, FIDU. FIDU technology means that two ultra-thin steel sheets are welded together around their edges and inflated under high pressure to give a 3D object. FIDU enables mass production of individualized shapes. Forms made in FIDU are very light but also very durable. Since its market release, Plopp stool has been shown on many exhibitions around the world and has won many prestigious awards, including Red Dot Design Award 2008, German Design Council Award 2008 and Forum AID Award 2009.

Golfwave Chair by Jake Rollins
By Rossana Orlandi
Located in Milan, IT
GolfWeave uses cord and discarded golf balls to explore atomic geometries which are hacked and distorted to make functional objects. These golf balls are arranged as if they were each atoms of carbon. Hexagonal groups of six balls each share one border to make flat surfaces, while pentagons and heptagons are placed strategically to distort and warp, giving rise to the formation of seats, legs, arms and rests. These curves are the same ones we see in isolation in carbon and all of her allotropes. Nanotubes, nanocones, graphene and various fullerenes are hacked, combined and enlarged to a human scale...
