Loll : recyclable outdoor designs

Just came across this brand: www.lolldesigns.com

Available in quite a range of colors. If you go for white, you can change the look with colorful additions or stay in sleek mood with white or keeping it bare.

Their pitch:

'The Loll 4-Slat Adirondack has more comfort than you would expect from an outdoor chair, and even more so when you factor in that you will never have to work on it. The thick recycled plastic feels solid and at more than 50 pounds this chair will not blow around. With your choice of a clean flat profile or more traditional curves, the contoured back and seat will make you want to lollygag for hours and feel good about it too. The standard seat height is 13.5 inches, making it not to short or too tall. For easier entry and exit, choose the tall version at 15.5 inches. Add a matching 4-Slat Ottoman and the whole world will smile at you. Unlike most Adirondacks, we have hidden nearly every fastener for the cleanest lines. Available in seven environmentally friendly colors.

Stop the trend

Vulgarity hitting the outdoor market:

I find quite annoying to see that the only solution brands find to show they are IT is to attach a visible logo on sofas, chairs....

Do we not have enough logos on bags and cothes??????

Please stop!

B&B Italia Springtime stool etc

Most major pieces in B&B's Springtime range designed by Massaud are high end and expensive... So I guess getting these is a little like buying a Haute couture label's ... perfume?

A few words about e-volved Collection

Timothy Schreiber studied architecture

and design in Germany and the United Kingdom. After working with Behnisch and partners in Germany for 3 years he moved to Sydney, Australia where he was involved in a wide range of international architectural and design projects. Oppurtunities through Australia paved the way for Timothy's move to Beijing and Shanghai, where he was involved in the design of the aquatic center for the 2008 olympic games. He now lives in London, working both in architecture and design.

Timothy's designs are the outcome of the permanent ambition to explore and challenge the boundaries between digital design / manufacturing methods, socially / environmentally sustainable use and the critical analysis of aesthetics. Shaped through his architectural studies at Bauhaus University in Germany he describes his style as 'pop modernism'.
