With thoughtful design in mind, the Ooob effectively combines aesthetics, ergonomics and functionality. The Ooob's smooth, curved profile eliminates catch points meaning no more stubbed toes.The streamlined form and heavy weight also minimise any chance of knocking it out of place by accident. And the more importantly, the Ooob feels pleasing to the touch. It's almost a shame to keep it on the floor.

You can utilize the remaining space around each box to put some objects as you like. - Makoto Yamaguchi

Ok, this is not furniture special design for Museum of Modern Art. The MOMA collection, designed by Javier Mariscal, is for the Spanish brand VONDOM. MOMA is a series of versatile enough outdoor furniture that can be either a set of outdoor table & stool or flower pots.
From the question : how do we sit down? Came up three versions that could be adapted to three different environments: one for chill-out, Low, completed with an pouf of great comfort of the same collection; another for use it seated in a chair or a seat, Medium, and another to be reached by feet or seated on a stool, High, thinking about the pleasure of enjoying a cup of wine outdoor.
The first sketches presented organic shapes that in the development of the project they were deriving toward more architectural forms that recall to a column with capital or to a corbel. There has a hole with function of flowerpot with self-watering system patented by VONDOM in the supporting surface.
These outdoor furniture come with striking colours to brighten your garden.

The new Swan XL is a larger version of the Swan table lamp, which was introduced earlier. Swan XL is a floor lamp designed to go next to the armchair of an avid reader. It provides a focal point that looks equally impressive in private homes as well as public spaces – anywhere that requires a good spotlight.
Floor lamps are made up of three parts: the base, the stand and the shade. "I wanted to give these components a new, modern form and this led to the creation of Swan XL. It is not just a larger version of the table lamp, however. I've altered the dimensions to make it work better as a floor lamp. To ensure that the design was functional, I made life-size drawings of the XL version to see what it would look like next to my favourite armchair," Eero Aarnio says.
