Stockholm Design Week

Here are a couple interesting furniture pieces from the 2009 Stockholm Design Week, via designboom

"Mushrooms ate my Furniture" by Shinwei Rhoda Yen.
The wood is embedded with mushroom spores, which given the correct humidity, etc will grow and eventually consume the bench.

"The Hiatus Chair" by Jo Hass Korneliussen
Cut from a single piece of plywood, it's as much about the empty space as the wood itself. Apparently it is intended for hallways, cloakrooms, and other areas where you might want to sit for just a minute or two. Good thing, because it doesn't look too comfy.
