When I first saw the Missix chair I thought it will look great in an ice-cream place, I think that the round soft shape remained me a scope of ice-cream.
Text from the designer – “Missix is a small armchair made of rotational moulded polythene and featuring a fully modern and clean design. And yet its soul looks back at the mysterious Minoan spirals from Santorini.
Missix’s name comes from its unique heavy-rounded, number six shape. This small armchair looks compact and monolithic together, yet its sinuous and enveloping line shows its minimal nature, enhanced by a light and soft shape. The chair is made of rotational moulded polythene. This fully recyclable material makes Missix a robust, lightweight and handy chair, which is both easy to clean and impact and weather-resistant. Missix is suitable for both residential and contract environments, in both indoor and outdoor areas.
The intuition behind Missix comes from the mysterious perfection of the Minoan spirals from Santorini, which date a thousand years earlier than the geometrical figure commonly attributed to Archimedes”.

I’m a not a big fan of a bench as a seating solution for a dinner but as an outdoor seating i will defiantly use it. I love this table and bench by Jennifer Newman Studio because of it simplicity and colourful combination.
Via the designer: “Jennifer Newman Studio is launching a new table and bench combination as part of its portfolio of inside-outside multi-purpose furniture. The Trestle Table and T-Benches are a response to Architect and designer requests for workspace furniture that marries colour with simplicity and versatility. The table and benches have been designed for continual outside use but the uncomplicated content of the design makes it a flexible and multifaceted product that can lend itself to many uses such as cafe furniture, studio desking and meeting tables.
Outdoor table tops come in Light Grey and internal tops in White. The legs to both table and benches come in Red, Sulfur Yellow, Black or White. Other colours are available to order”.

That’s it now it’s officially spring so we can start thinking of rearrange or renovate our garden/balcony because soon we are going to start using it again and this amazing Easy chair will be a great fit for it.
Inspired by the amazing fabrics that can be produced with a circular knitting machine, the design of the Easy Chair was born. The airy appearance of the wire frame shows an elegant contrast to the modern padded cushion that is made together with the Audax textiel museum in Tilburg.
The trick lies in the composition of the yarn. Some of them shrink more than others when heated. Once the fabric comes out of the machine, a steam iron shrinks the desired locations to create a pattern.
Both the metal and fabric come in a variety of colours. Though the chairs look delicate, they are very durable and suitable for both indoor- and outdoor use.
