Colander, a table of 909 holes, is the latest project by Daniel Rohr, designed to delete space and material. Produced by way of a CNC milling process, the polished aluminium tabletop starts out at a weight of 408 kg. (899 lbs.). The space between the plate glass top and the metal bowl makes any object that is set upon the table seem to hover above it. It takes about four weeks for the production of one table, to be produced in an edition of ten.

The new modular outdoor-furniture concept “Linea” designed by Vienna-based product designer Rainer Mutsch for Eternit has won the international Red Dot Design Award 2009 in the category “Public Space”.
Inspired by the production process of Eternit, Rainer Mutsch developed “Linea”, a weather-proof lounge-chair also based on fibre-concrete panels. A new moulding technique allows maximum efficiency in using this material with almost no offcuts. “Linea” gets its high stability through its freeformed geometry and its environmentally friendly cellulose inforced concrete material. The basic lounge chair element can be upgraded by an asymmetrical bench element, a leg-rest and a low-table – allowing numerous variations for private and public spaces.
