Architect Charles Deaton described his inspiration for the house: “On Genesee Mountain I found a high point of land where I could stand and feel the great reaches of the Earth. I wanted the shape of it to sing an unencumbered song.”

I have seen this furniture during my travels on the web, but never understood the concept or from where they originated, until now.
While browsing the website’s gallery my 6-year-old boy came into the room. He saw the picture below, became intrigued and wanted to see more.
I began to see it through his eyes…
and it was really cool.
Then I wanted one…
for me.
You will like who is behind these fun, unique and surprisingly functional pieces.

Collaborating with Pols Potten, who produced the Hand-le, the designer had the idea and presented the project in London 2006 during the London Design Festival. It was really successful. The handle is made of aluminum and imitates a human hand perfectly, which can be scary for some, but amusing for others.

The green in this chair jumped out at me while cruising the web as this was a trending color at Fall 2012 High Point Market. Then, when what to my wandering eyes would appear – a trunk as the crux of this ingenious seating.
This of course made the wheels in my mind start turning and ticking so off I went searching for the creator of this interesting seating.
Katie Thompson is a designer from South Africa. She uses discarded pieces to make furniture, lighting, and interior accessories. These designs are unique, one-of-a-kind, and truly vintage. Even better, you can request a made-to-order piece. I already have something in mind and am thinking of contacting her for my very own work of art.
