One of the most hackneyed sources of inspiration for young people is Michael Tonet’s long-suffering chair No. 14.
Designers turn it not only into other chairs, but also into things that are fundamentally different in type. The Englishman Darren Lago, for example, decided that such a recognizable object could be used as a lamp and just screws the bulbs to it.
Designer Ron Gilad has used scaled-down models of the chair, made of steel, for the wardrobe legs and bench, that he created for the Adele-C brand.
The fate and legacy of Charles and Ray Eames was redesigned as well.
Designer Carl Sanford modified the chair to use a garden wheelbarrow as a seat.
The sovereignty of designer products — hat was suggested by the German Hiob Haaro, who released a crystal souvenir ball, inside which, instead of the usual snowman or the Eiffel Tower, there is a Juicy Salif juicer designed by Philippe Starck.
Czech designer Jan Čtvrtník has created a new version of Alvar Aalto’s famous vase, which aims to remind the world of the challenges of global warming.
The outer contour of the vase (sketched by Aalto from the outlines of one of the Finnish lakes) remained the same, but the inner one shows how the lake should have shrunk over the past decades.
And last, but not the least, the Englishman Michael Eden remade the classic Wedgwood vase.
He chose the same material for its new interpretation — porcelain, but instead of burning the vase in the oven, he printed it on a 3D printer. To highlight the possibilities of modern technology, Eden painted the vase in acid colors.
