Polígono reinforcing steel furniture by Losgogo. Chilean design studio Losgogo used reinforcing steel and wood to build these items of furniture against the clock (+ slideshow).
Losgogo set themselves a three-week deadline and a restricted palette of materials to create their collection. "Polígono is a design project with three requirements: two materials, a method and a due date," Nico Aracena, one half of Losogo, told Dezeen. Steel more commonly used to reinforce concrete was welded into angular shapes and painted bright colours, before sections of wood were added to complete the items. "The chairs and benches that construction workers spontaneously build on their working sites became our approach," said Aracena. The result of the time trial was six mirrors and eleven pieces of furniture, including chairs, tables, shelves, a floor lamp and a coat stand.
Triangular, rhomboidal and hexagonal mirrors have simple wood frames stained with softer colours than the furniture. Shine outdoor furniture by Arik Levy for Emu.

Paul Loebach's PEG chair slots together (suggestively) New York designer Paul Loebach's flat-pack wooden chair slots together without glue, as demonstrated in a series of vaguely pornographic gifs (+ slideshow).
Paul Loebach showcased the prototype of his flat pack PEG chair in collaboration with Makers Anonymous during New York design week last month. The chair – which Loebach says is "charming and childlike in its purity" – comprises eight pieces of birch wood machined using Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) technology. These fit together using "peg and hole" joints, as the gifs graphically show. As the wood naturally expands and contracts over time the structure tightens, creating a sturdy and stable form.

Originally created by American designers Charles and Ray Eames in 1951, the Eames Wire Chair features a one-piece seat shell made from a grid of welded steel wire. 63 years on, Vitra has recreated the Wire Chair for al-fresco use by powder-coating the frame so it becomes resistant to corrosion. "The chair is a variation on the organically shaped one-piece seat shell design, combining transparent lightness with technological sophistication," said Vitra in a statement. Previously offered only in chrome, the design is now available in a choice of three smooth finishes: basic dark, dark grey and cream. The powder-coated Eames Wire Chair will be featured alongside the 2009 Bistro table by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec at Grow London, Hampstead Heath's Contemporary Garden Fair, from 20 to 22 June.

Chaise Cleo. Chaise "market" Chaise empilable "A" Chaise. Jr_040414_09. Arkwright offices by Haptic feature a slatted wooden staircase. London studio Haptic references eroded granite rock formations commonly found around the Norwegian coastline with the curving form of this layered timber staircase, created for an office interior in Oslo.
Strategy and corporate finance firm Arkwright asked Haptic to design the interior of its new offices, which are located in a converted harbour warehouse in Oslo's Aker Brygge area. Upon entering the offices on the upper floor, staff and visitors are confronted with a monolithic reception desk made from stained black timber slats.
Behind the desk, the wooden strips become more spaced out, creating curving walls that surround a back office and transition into the wall behind the staircase. "The design is inspired by svabergs - large granite stone formations that are typical for the area - rounded and polished by icebergs thousands of years ago," the architects described. The staircase descends to a lounge area and incorporates widened treads that offer spaces for casual seating. Jaime Hayon designs Analog table for use in home, office or restaurant.
