Description of Octopus Chair from the designer:
The material called natural mother-of-pearl has never a same color and pattern. In addition, the pattern, the color and the reflexibility of natural mother-of-pearl is changed by the angle throwing light and a situation. I would like to express the relationship between a man and a man and the one between a man and a thing by using natural mother-of-pearl.
The pieces of countless mother-of-pearl surround the whole body with organic shape on Octopus chair. The angle throwing light of mother-of-pearl is changed and they maintain one organic shape. That is, Octopus chair and the mother-of-pearls attached on it do not show us any same shape even at any place. Designed by Samwoong Lee.

Description of Dyneema Chair :
This chair was based upon the idea that textiles can be very effective when dealing with tensile forces since the forces can be uniformly dispersed over the whole fabric. This way little and light material can be used. A whole chair can be made out one strong textile, like dyneema. A woven dyneema will be used for the side-arches because this fabric shouldn’t stretch. For the comfort of the seating and backrest a elastic fabric is needed so here a knitted dyneema will be used. Finally a dyneema-composite is used to form the solid that takes compressive forces. Designed by Dutch designer Bram Geenen.
