Finnish design company Punkalive featured new furniture designs by Karim Rashid at the 2011 IMM Cologne in Paris recently.
Punkalives’s products are made from laminated Finnish spruce, shaped with a computer controlled milling machine. Rashid’s High Roller lounge chair is a harmoniously mysterious piece that draws on the natural and artificial to create a rather complex form.
The Maya stackable chair takes its inspiration from the ancient civilisation of the same name, blending the natural character of wood with a digital production process. The Maya chair is said to be sustainable and biodegradable with a futurist presence.
