Play inspired furniture

Continuing research into play in everyday situations, I was very happy to stumble upon the Play! range from BCXSY (cooperative between designers Boaz Cohen and Sayaka Yamamoto).

“PLAY! consists of a collection of products that was conceived out of a desire to bring a sense of nostalgia and playfulness into the grown-up environment. Recognizable childhood motifs and patterns are reborn and remolded into new designs for furniture, lighting, and home ware”.

BCXSY Book shelf
Every book tells its own story. Every book has its own weight. By playing with balance, the See-Saw bookshelf visualizes the breadth of our home libraries.

Swing Lamp
Never again feel alone in the dark! The Swing Lamp creates a comforting ambiance through lighting and movement. Materials: Acryl-glass, rope, SMD LED lighting with press-switch mechanism.

Coffee Table
The PLAY! Coffee Table has a slide-puzzle top. With each arrangement, the missing piece reveals one of sixteen storage boxes.
