Stua Stories by Ami Kealoha
Stua drafted the video artist Javier Guerrero to create a series of short film installations that evoke the mood and tone of Stua's designs. The six stories, designed to run on four screens simultaneously, are open narratives that range from a diver's decision ("The Choice," pictured) to the suspenseful roadside burial of a corpse, aptly titled "Hitchcock revisited." Premiering at last year's Milan furniture fair, the collection is one of many collaborations with artists that Stua's undertaken in recent years, an approach that's in keeping with their commitment to high level aesthetics.

Herman Makkink's Rocking Machine
Dutch sculptor Herman Makkink's works entered popular consciousness after his phallic "rocking machine" was featured in Stanley Kubrick's brilliant and controversial 1971 film A Clockwork Orange. For the first time since 1969, the sculptor's sexually charged Rocking Machine has been reproduced in limited quantities and is for sale through a private auction conducted by the artist himself. Cast in fiberglass from the original mold,...

Active Furniture
Active Furniture, a project by Spanish designers Virginia Pol, Ferran Lajara and Cristina Guardiola, uses counter-intuitive design as an antidote to our increasingly sedentary lives. The three objects—a floor lamp, a desk and a wall hanger—each require a level of exertion on the user's part to function. The floor lamp must be held upright, both to illuminate the bulb and keep the lamp vertical....

The Palindrome Series by Peter Marigold
Now on view as a part of "The Harder They Fall" exhibit at Moss Gallery in NYC, artist/designer Peter Marigold created a new series of works cleverly entitled The Palindrome Series. Using wood, acrylic, gypsum composite and fiberglass, Marigold plays with symmetry by creating pieces of furniture that are half mold and half cast resulting in mirrored textures and details. Marigold explains the process...

Christopher Chiappa
Christopher Chiappa produces artwork both visceral and subversive. In his studio, an ever-growing blob of solidified expanding foam consumes a Weber grill. The mass is riddled with a fury of knives fashioned from masonite, as if to kill off the uncontrollable beast. The piece has taken on a life of its own. Indeed, one of Chiappa's greatest strengths as an artist lies in his...

Brad Teasdale Mosaics
Brooklyn-based artist, Brad Teasdale, blends contemporary concrete and glass design with classical mosaic craftsmanship. Teasdale's aesthetic stems from a juxtaposition of the materials themselves. He combines glass, concrete, wood, and steel to articulate natural contrasts of "light and dark," "grit and beauty" and "permanence and change." His latest project, "Leela" (which means "god's play in Sanskrit), is a custom installation. To create it, Teasdale...

TokyoLife: Art and Design
Tokyo demands your attention. Both the city's appearance and its visual output are impossible to summarize, though they always grab the eye. "TokyoLife: Art and Design" attempts to get a handle on the amorphous style of the megalopolis by looking at the actual players behind it. The book highlights the work of more than 80 creative minds— including painters, architects, fashion designers, filmmakers and...
