THE GOOD BOY LAMP

Most of us look away when we stumble upon a dog going #2, but an English artist, who goes by “Whatshisname,” wants you to stare straight at it! He does, it takes him a month to construct each one of his Good Boy Lamps, less than 100 of them now exist worldwide. The designer says that the “Good Boy lamp was designed as an item of everyday use that makes user uncomfortable with every use.” Mission accomplished – the artist was originally commissioned to build the lamp to be featured in London’s the Art Below exhibition on London Underground Stations, but was actually banned by London Underground from appearing on the Bond Street station for being to offensive!

Ladder by Itay Laniado

Israeli designer Itay Laniado has designed a collapsible ladder held together by a strap under tension.
The strap is tightened with a ratchet and forms two rungs of the ladder once assembled.
A loop in the strap acts as a handle once collapsed.
“The ladder is a tension system that relays on the ratchet to hold it, no screws or glue involved,” says Laniado. “The ladder is also collapsible: it can be disassembled and assembled in a more compact way.”

Folding Stool by Jack Smith
Show RCA 2011: to continue our series of graduate projects from the Royal College of Art, here’s a stool by Jack Smith that collapses when its seat is lifted.

The stool’s three hinged legs fit perfectly into a y-shaped hole in the seat, locking them into place.

This fit tightens when weight is added to the top, increasing the stool’s stability.

The following text is provided by the designer:

An occasional stool that folds away neatly and easily with minimal components.
It folds away by picking up one side of the seat. Gravity, along with the angles used, enables the stool to fold out when put back down. The angle on top of the legs has been designed to add maximum strength. As weight is placed on the seat it pinches the top of the legs together creating a stronger join, the heavier the load the stronger the stool.

Aceite sustentable.
