Concrete LCDA Furniture

Here we have the beautiful Point de Rencontre table by Concrete LCDA.  What I really like about this concept is the simplicity of the design and the fact that it is easily overlooked being that its made out of concrete rather than wood.  At first glance it looks like a simple table you may see in many homes.  Closer inspection even reveals a wood grain effect on the surface but alas, a mix of stone and raw materials makes up this future mainstay.

The company produced a wide range of concrete furniture worth checking out.  For now I'll just dream about one day owning a large enough apartment or house to fit something like this into!

Nanna Ditzel: Functional Design

Nanna Ditzel was born (1923) in Copenhagen during a time when the design industry was heavily dominated by men. She trained as a cabinet maker and eventually went on to further her education at  the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, The School of Design.  She became multi-talented in the fields of furniture making, design, textiles, jewelry and ceramics.  One of her iconic designs, still in production today, is the Hallingdal textile.

Ditzel's furniture designs first spoke to me, unknowingly  as a child. I can remember being a kid and thinking that the egg chair was absolutely the coolest thing I could ever sit in.  As an adult I would promptly furnish my home with them, you know, because I was supposed to be rich by now (as my child-self thought).  Well, no egg chair yet, but definitely a more genuine appreciation for Ditzel's work.  Truly an innovator for functional design.  Yes, I'll take one of each.

Nanna Ditzel (1923-2005) was dubbed the "First Lady of Danish Furniture Design" by the Scandinavian Furniture Fair. (here)
