Each bear reveals an own identity and a personal story from the life of each human person. “Bare Bear” is a collector’s item, a reason to collect them all ;) The bears will be presented in Czech Republic at Design Festival Mikulov from 1 - 3 June 2012 by Judy Straten Gallery.

This a furniture collection, currently consisting of five pieces, is a carefully selected and modified group of used furniture and is partly inspired by stories of the designer’s own family or observations of families around her. The furniture family includes a rocking horse, a coffee-table, a praying chair, a classical side table and the ‘No Sign of Design’ chair; a basic practical chair by the influential Dutch designer Richard Hutten.

For example, the classical side table, in which golden colored pearls have created a hole in the wood, refers to a young girl’s obsession with external psychical beauty. The spectacle of recycled plastic on the coffee-table melting through the tabletop was inspired by a parent, who cannot resist the temptation of alcohol and drugs, which ‘drag’ him down into a colorful, almost psychedelic depth. <img src="http://payload25.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/2811344/web_vincent4.jpg" width="400" height="600" width_o="400" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload25.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/2811344/web_vincent4_o.jpg" data-mid="14276334" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload25.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/2811344/web_vincent7.jpg" width="400" height="600" width_o="400" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload25.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/2811344/web_vincent7_o.jpg" data-mid="14276337" border="0" align="left"/> <img src="http://payload25.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/2811344/web_vincent8.jpg" width="400" height="601" width_o="400" height_o="601" src_o="http://payload25.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/2811344/web_vincent8_o.jpg" data-mid="14276338" border="0" align="left"/> The Ordinary Family represents a common human family.

A combination of rectangular units in different sizes, in MDF with lacquer finish, are connected with invisible 45° joints. The visual effect is dynamic and well-structured. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/2260001/web_kristalia3.jpg" width="600" height="595" width_o="600" height_o="595" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/2260001/web_kristalia3_o.jpg" data-mid="14288889" border="0" align="left"/> Interview Ka-Lai Chan at Kristalia: <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/2260001/web_kristaliainterview.jpg" width="600" height="356" width_o="600" height_o="356" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/2260001/web_kristaliainterview_o.jpg" data-mid="14288902" border="0" align="left"/> www.kristalia.it http://www.kalaichan.nl/teahouse-restaurant-eilandh-rt http://www.kalaichan.nl/following/kalaichan.nl/teahouse-restaurant-eilandh-rt Tue, 15 Nov 2011 20:46:40 +0000 Ka-Lai Chan 2311343 <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/2311343/web_cafe5.jpg" width="550" height="413" width_o="550" height_o="413" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/2311343/web_cafe5_o.jpg" data-mid="16212039" border="0" align="left"/> Styling and interior design for teahouse and restaurant at Eiland8 (creative hotspot) in Utrecht.

However, carrying a number of empty bottles is often a hassle. 'Bottled' is designed to make it more comfortable and fun! The design is simple: the nozzles of the empty bottles can easily be fixed onto the holes in the bag, whereas the bag also incorporates a handle for comfortable carrying. Light and user-friendly to carry around, 'Bottled' encourages people to take their empty bottles back to the supermarket for an healthy environment.

The bowls come in pairs; since one bowl is hollow and the other one round, they strengthen and complement each other. It’s exciting to see how the bowl is like floating because of its small, thin legs and its lightness. Hoodie bag <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/1241298/web_hoodiebag2.jpg" width="500" height="375" width_o="500" height_o="375" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/1241298/web_hoodiebag2_o.jpg" data-mid="5996362" border="0" align="left"/> In Tibet, Ghana, Himalaya and many parts of the world, except the western world, burdens are carried on the head by a strap around the forehead. Ergonomics examined the carrying of burdens on the head and it appears to be a very effective way of carrying. With this starting point Arent Jack and Ka-Lai Chan examined how the carrying of a burden can be translated in a product, which would be nice and accepted in the western world. During the design process they mostly looked how porters easily carrying heavy burdens with a strap around their forehead. In the western world heavy burdens are supported on the hips, like hikers. By combining these two views with the trendy sweater, hoodie bag is created. The hoodie bag is a sweater translated to a bag. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/1241298/web_hoodiebag1.jpg" width="300" height="400" width_o="300" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/1241298/web_hoodiebag1_o.jpg" data-mid="5996321" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/1241298/web_hoodiebag.jpg" width="283" height="400" width_o="283" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/1241298/web_hoodiebag_o.jpg" data-mid="5996334" border="0" align="left"/> Octopus bag <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/1241298/web_octopus.jpg" width="300" height="400" width_o="300" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/1241298/web_octopus_o.jpg" data-mid="5998071" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/1241298/web_octopus1.jpg" width="300" height="400" width_o="300" height_o="400" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/3/96963/1241298/web_octopus1_o.jpg" data-mid="5998082" border="0" align="left"/> The concept of the 'Octopus bag' comes from the daily life which I have experienced, looking for one thing in a big bag is difficult. To solve this problem, the arms of the Octopus could be used as pockets which you can separate the goods. Because the arms are made of a stretchy material, you can see what is kept inside the arms. In this way, you can find everything easily. Also, the arms can be used inside-out.
