Float

Float is designed and manufactured by the German mathematician and designer Max Longin. Urban and sensual: float - an innovative bed. Uncompromising and extravagant: the appearance of float is minimalist and playful at the same time. Seemingly floating the sleeping plain is held by the wooden rods and stainless steel bows. The bows themselves rest in oak cones. The construction of the bed is based on the idea of the central point of rest to which everything leads in a pliable and soft way. The bed can be dismantled into several parts. The separate parts of float also form the transportation case. You couldn't be more ecological! Innovation till the tips of your toes: For the connection between the wooden rods and the steel bows simple and effective elements have been developed.

Ball Chair by Eero Aarnio 1966

The Ball Chair - or Globe Chair as it's called sometimes - was designed by using one of the most simple geometric forms - the ball. Cutting of a part and fixing it at one point Eero Aarnio comes to a remarkable result - a completely unconventional shaped chair:
A Ball Chair is a "room within a room" with a cozy and calm athmosphere, protecting outside noises and giving a private space for relaxing or having a phonecall. Turning around its own axis on the base the view to the outer space is variable for the user and thus he is not completely excluded from world outside.
The Vitra Design Museum notes in his brochure on the Ball Chair miniature: "It is something between a piece of furniture and a piece of architecture and at the same time embodies both the mobile and the established, the fixed." - You'll find this miniature at the Vitra Design Museum's Shop.
