POCKET ARMCHAIR by DING3000
T
aking its name from the clever pouches that slip over the legs, the Pocket chair is the creation of German designers DING3000. Contrasting beautifully with the solid oak frame, the Italian leather seat is both washable and durable, and the innovative method of attachment means it sits suspended in mid-air. Available in various colours, Pocket works well alone or as part of a set of two or three. DING3000 is the studio of the designers Carsten Schelling, Ralf Webermann and Sven Rudolph. After working for different studios such as Vogt&Weizenegger and Marcel Wanders they have started to work together in 2005 designing consumer goods like furniture, luminaires and residential accessories. They became known with various drafts characterized by profound and charming ideas. In the meanwhile DING3000 also has proven its versatility by working e.g. on projects for progressive surgery equipment or in creating strong and innovative concepts like the critically acclaimed Concept 1865 bike for german chemical company BASF.
Products by DING3000 are part of the permanent collection of assorted museums and were shown on various design festivals and exhibitions, for instance within the German pavilion during the EXPO 2010 in Shanghai. Pocket Armchair is available at Hem.com
