Enzio Mari, stacking Chair - in 1971 he imbued this philosophy into the Box chair for Castelli, a self-assembly chair consisting of an injection-moulded polypropylene seat and collapsible tubular metal frame which came apart to fit into a box – just as his puzzles interlocked into a rectangle.

Johann Munz for WOGG

Cupboard with roller door An aluminium roller door is suspended from a strap running round all four sides of the cupboard. Fascinatingly superb both in its technology and its aestheticism. Wogg 4 is available as cupboard and sideboard. And thus it has a great many uses: in the office with a suspension file rack, at home with a clothes hanging rail or with drawers.

Designer: Rody Grammars in 1992, created this stunning Lamp!!! Contemporary Dutch designers have been markedly innovative in experimenting with materials, a trend that crosses international boundaries. Readily available at any hardware store, Graumans's simple materials—eighty-five black cords, sockets, and light bulbs—yield a grand chandelier through the strength of his design. Gathered in a unified bundle at the ceiling, the cords flare out to accommodate the mass of lightbulbs below.Graumans's 85 Lamps was selected for inclusion in the first design collection offered by Droog Design, established in 1994 by designers and theorists Gijs Bakker and Renny Ramakers. It is a firm that has captured much attention for its stance against consumerism and its use of industrial and recycled materials. The diverse works of the talented young designers chosen for The Museum of Modern Art design collection celebrate ingenuity, economy of form, and a minimalist aesthetic, as does this lamp by Grammars.

Manufacturer: Droog Design, the Netherlands made out of Lightbulbs, cords, and sockets, Dimensions 39 3/8 x 39 3/8" (100 x 100 cm)

Andreas Christen

Stacking bed by the Swiss design-legend Andreas Christen produced by H.P. Spengler in 1960.It is a stacking bed, which was produced as a single and/or double bed. The bed mainly came in the colors white and black, also in the color red, which is quiet rare.  And as far as I know of, only on in green. The unique about this bed is, that it was the first fiberglassproduct, that was that big and was able to hold the weight of a full grown adult. No one before Christen created an object that size.

New edition of the bed is still available at http://www.scobalit.ch/de/index.php
