CHRISTOPHE<br />
MACHET<br />
Paris-based, London Royal College of Art<br />
graduate Christophe Machet received plaudits<br />
for The Pipeline Project furniture he showed<br />
at the Alcova exhibition in Milan Design Week.<br />
Against the backdrop of an old panettone<br />
factory, he presented a range of chairs he’d<br />
made from PVC sewage pipes. Designed to be<br />
versatile, cheap and pragmatic, these stylish PVC<br />
and wood chairs should last for decades.<br />

is to create minimalist natural wood designs, often<br />
mixed with metal as shown here, with recurring<br />
touches of black colour.<br />

STUDIOFAUBEL<br />
Gregor Faubel presented<br />
his first piece of furniture in<br />
collaboration with the Italian<br />
plastics manufacturer Serralunga<br />
in 2008, founded StudioFaubel<br />
in Munich in 2010, and this year<br />
debuted his first metal lounge chair<br />
design, manufactured by Müller<br />
Möbelfabriktion, at IMM Cologne.<br />
The Martini Lounge Chair features<br />
a folded aluminium shell, inspired<br />
by the characteristic shape of a<br />
Zeppelin airship. It’s reportedly<br />
super comfortable too!<br />
