This stool was designed for nomadic millennials who shift apartments

The Triplex stool addresses the overconsumption of furniture, especially the kind associated with a nomadic lifestyle that requires people to constantly buy new furniture for their new spaces. Designed to live with you, move with you, and last as long as you need, the Triplex stool comes with a three-part design that uses identical pieces that are screwed together. The identical pieces make the Triplex’s manufacturing footprint relatively small, while their stackable design means the stool can be shipped in a smaller box, and can be assembled at home. While moving (or when not in use), the stool can easily be disassembled and stacked/stored efficiently.

The Triplex stool (which is currently on the shortlist for an Inde Award) is made with flax fibre and bio-resin, which are both biological. Similar to the physical properties of carbon fiber, flax fiber has high tensile strength, while the stool’s own geometry utilizes curvature to attain structural performance. The stool weighs a mere 1.8 kilograms too, allowing it to easily be moved while shifting apartments, and when the stool’s life is finally over, it can naturally biodegrade without causing any pollution or residue.

Social-Distancing At Work: These cubicle designs make segregated workspaces safe and stylish

No one can really tell when workspaces will open with full capacity, but we all can agree that there will be some incredibly lasting changes to offices moving forward. Automatic doors so you don’t need to touch the handle, people operating lifts so you don’t have to press buttons, and probably even ditching away with the communal coffee machine for some other contact-less alternative. Workspaces will become more safety conscious, and more impersonal, with employees having dedicated agile and versatile cubicles to suit all their needs. Keith Melbourne Studio’s envisioned how design intervention can create a new sort of stylish-yet-safe workplace with the Avion.

Currently on the shortlist for an Inde Award, the Avion is a modular workspace setup that comes with a contemporary design with soft curves, chic furniture, and a modern color palette to help make the workspace look friendly and appealing. Designed to create visual comfort so you’re more focused and relaxed at work, the cubicle systems isolate you and provide enough space to work out of, while still giving you enough of a window to step out and socialize from time to time… from a distance of course!
