One probably doesn’t immediately think of a MINI as a car to take on a camping trip. It is far too urban a model for that.
But MINI and Airstream have collaborated on this design, created by Danish furniture maker Republic of Fritz Hansen, that will bring a little style to the old trailer park.
The first spotting will be at the Salone del Mobile show and the INTERNI DESIGN ENERGIES exhibition in Milan, Italy (April 21-30 2009).

Swedish designers Erik Nyberg and Gustav Ström created the WAVE Hammock for Belgian outdoor furniture manufacturer Royal Botania.
The idea is to convey the feeling of lying underneath the canopy of a tree, surrounded by a defined, natural space, forming both a sculpture and an inviting and luxurious outdoor furniture.
The materials in WAVE consist of electro-polished stainless steel and perforated fabric, one type for the upper roof section, and another for the lying section. Source: contemporist

Pictured here is the Chester sofa in white. It is inspired by the elegant and stately Chesterfield sofas, which are in fact a variation of davenports. The Chester sofa looks elegant with its unique leather pattern and the classical design. However, this classical design inspired sofa is quite modern too, thanks to designer Amanda Levete’s postmodernist ideas.
This sofa has been inspired by sculptures as well; she has created a really chic polyurethane shell on which the cushion is placed. The Chester sofa is a cross between classical elegance and postmodern chic.
It’s a limited edition product and measures 39″ x 112″ x 28″. Retailing at $19,344, the Chester sofa truly will help revamp one’s living space.
