Daishi Luo and Zhipeng Tan are the members of a creative design duo which creates furniture inspired by the human body, including tall spinal chairs with pelvis seats and other stuff you might find odd.

The creators of Mán-Mán Studio explain that their art pieces are made of copper, “because of the charm of the material. Copper is alive, its plasticity is very high, and it is not what we always see.”

“This is an introspection behavior in the process of industry. After industrial mass production meets most of the needs of life, handicraft often represents the products of nature and culture. People begin to pursue the appeal of inner spirit instead of fast consumption,” they said in an interview for China Design Centre.

They exhibited their work in galleries both locally and internationally, in cities like Milano, Shanghai, Miami, etc.

Eny Lee Parker describes herself as a designer of objects and spaces. Born in Brzail and currently based in Savannah, Georgia, her furniture design is artsy while still being approachable, and more importantly, practical. Through her designs, she aims to explore human needs and wants.

“I started with interior design and was working in that field for some time,” she described her creative journey in an interview with Matter of Hand. “Interior designers love and appreciate furniture, so the appreciation was always there,” she notes. “But when I was working in residential interior design, we used to have to pick out furniture a lot and I always wished that aspects of the pieces were different in this or that way. I never had confidence that I could actually design things until I came back to Savannah and enrolled in a master’s program for furniture.”

Her practice included exploring a lot of different materials, starting with wood and metals, and moving onto ceramics, which is another passion of hers. “I always start with a topic that I am really interested in whether it is feminism or an art movement,” she describes her process. “Then I sketch a bunch, make a lot of mood boards, start some model making or prototypes, and after that I make it.”

Lee Parker’s fascination with the mind and behavior of people leads to objects that echo human emotions. “I do a lot of work on the computer so everything is always done digitally first – I set dimensions for everything,” she notes. “That’s especially important with furniture. The ceramics don’t always stay accurate, but I have to know generally what height or width I need. It’s so much easier for me to have everything drawn; it’s kind of like having blueprints. You kind of have to. It’s a little different than being in sculpture.”

Take a look at some of her unique designs in the gallery below:

Chris Salomone is a talented woodworker and the father of a six-year-old son whose drawing he recently turned into a real piece of furniture. Salomone shared a video of the whole process on his YouTube channel. On the same channel, we discovered a lot of other videos that show the beautiful side of woodworking, so we recommend you check it out.

“On this episode, I take my son’s drawing and turn it into a real, functioning piece of furniture. I still used a lot of proper woodworking techniques to build this project, even though the final outcome might not appear that way,” Salomone wrote along with the video. 

To see what the end result looks like and how the kid reacted to his dad’s amazing gesture, watch the video below.
