The Bone Armchair, created in a limited edition of 12 and exhibited by New York gallery Friedman Benda, is moulded from a mixture of marble and porcelain mixed with resin.

    I can see this in the corner of the cave, next to the mammoth skin rug.

  2. Tony Says:

    uncomfortable piece.

  3. Mattia Says:

    Really beautiful. This mixture of marble, porcelain and resin suits the design much better than the earlier clear resin and cast aluminum. A stunning piece.

  4. D-MAN Says:

    NIce Form, however… too many notes!

  5. Zenza Says:

    I really think that this ‘kind of design’ is boring as hell.

    Rancid : )

    I really like this. I just wonder how cold it feels when sitting on it.

  11. K. Rimane Says:

    it’s nice. i bet it’s comfortable too.

  12. Fanky Says:

    too much Rhino for me
    ..but it looks good - at least from here.

  13. ambroise Says:

    What’s new ?
    I really don’t understand this kind of “design”

  14. Jesse Pietilä Says:

    Beautifully Bone armchair manifestates the strong decision making skills of a designer and the sense of ergonomics can be seen clearly!

    In love with bold rising armrests.

  15. ral Says:

    what is actually interesting about this chair?

    not a great deal

    next!

  16. yung Says:

    How do you know it’s Rhino?
    Rhino really saved a lot of designer though.

  17. Eric Says:

    this is another sad display of MAYA design, anyone with a knowhow of Maya can do it, I personally do not support this type of design, here’s why:

    no thought is put into how its going to be built or exploiting material properties (think Eames), its always…”oh we’ll build it out of concrete, or fiber glass”.

    is this what design should constitute? perhaps if he found a way to build it out of wood or some other type of material, then it would be stunning.

  18. pete Says:

    On the contrary I think it is exploring different materials very interesting. Its nice that the aluminum one is thinner than this. Its a new step, if you like it or not.

  19. Billy Says:

    Should be delicate - just looks clumsy and heavy.

  20. leandro locsin Says:

    too much excess, this can still be refined and reconfigured to reach elegance

  21. Dariusz Says:

    very interesting.. yet seems a bit too heavy.. legs could be more explored.. they kinda just hit the ground. Love to sit in it..
