lizzie garrett (the author of our la guide- stay tuned for sf soon!) sent along a link to her friend mary alexis williams, a risd student who produced these gorgeous little side table/stools. i was taken with them right away- “cut-out” is made from two pieces of laser-cut birch ply and can be flat-packed for easy storage. this is still in project form but hopefully she’ll find someone to produce it in the near future- i think it would be a big hit. click here for more info. [thanks, lizzie!]

such a smart design and a beautiful way to design with very little waste. it’s great to see students taking these things into consideration. i hope soon that one thing we all factor into what we see as ‘good’ design will be it’s low impact on the environment.

Right, that’s what I really admire about the design as well, it’s smart as well as thoughtful.

They’re pleasing to look at and very smartly designed without looking too busy.
