Brendan Magennis

I am always drawn towards simple joints and uncomplicated furniture and Magennis has done just that. using a Japanese woodworking technique called a hell joint he has managed to produce this collection of flat-packed furniture that has no screws or glue. Magennis designed the collection while studying contemporary furniture design at Bucks New University and was shortlisted for the New Designer of the Year Award at the graduate show in London last month.

Salvage

Reusing and recycling is all a bit overkill at the moment and has been for years, you can't go anywhere without seeing an ashtray made from a can or a chair made from Biro pens. Obviously these ideas have their merits but are often poorly executed. I have been following Rupert Blanchards blog, Styling and Salvage, for a while now and love this table and set of chairs made from wooden packaging crates, ireally love the the patchwork detail on the table surface.
