Good design odds are like rock star odds: Most groups are one-hit wonders, with one amazing piece that gets a lot of airplay before they seem to disappear. It's that rare band who can make an album you'll stick with the whole way through.
We just came across Stockholm-based design collective Outofstock's book, and to us, their furniture section alone is the portfolio version of Radiohead's OK Computer--just fantastic piece after fantastic piece. Here are a few of our faves:
Hues - Inspired by the overlay of colors in venn diagrams, this set of nesting tables is composed of waterjet-cut low iron glass tops that are sandblasted and coloured. Legs and support frame in painted steel.
Easy - A generously proportioned easy chair made of bent laminated plywood, with the front and rear leg structures stacked to form a stable brace support. Finished in maple wood veneer.
