Piana by David Chipperfield for Alessi – Milan 2011 (05)
Another chair to be presented at Milan 2011 this month is Piana by British architect David Chipperfield for Italian design company Alessi. Alessi is well known for its innovative designs in mostly all things that can be labelled “accessories“, so a new product being a chair is a unique step for the company.
Piana is a folding and stackable seat that is manufactured from 100% recycled polypropylene and rotates around a single point held by two screws. Available in 6 kitchen-friendly (2 of which even sound yummy) colors: white, raspberry red, saffron yellow, patina green, traffic black and pebble grey.

Antibacterial chair by Giulio Iacchetti for Casamania
Bek chair by Giulio Iacchetti is created using special Polygiene technology that gives the chair its unique antibacterial properties (How’s that for a season of flues?). The rigid yet light folding chair comes in red, black, white and green, and a set of 8 chairs can be held by a trolley done in black painted metal.
Foldable Baby Car Seat: Tot-Pod by Aldo Barreto for Samsonite
Something to outdo Nestt’s baby car seat? Probably yes, if not in style than in functionality.
Samsonite is a luggage brand so it’s no wonder their chair had to be multifunctional: it’s foldable and it has a carry handle, making it an ideal baby chair to travel with, and it has wheels if you want to use it as a stroller.
Looking like a clam shell when not in use, this ultra-modern, foldable baby car seat has been designed by Canadian designer Aldo Barreto for a competition for luggage company Samsonite. It has an integrated child restraint system, carrying handle and a multi-purpose storage compartment in the back. The Tot-Pod baby car seat can also be converted to a stroller.
