It's tough not to be impressed with Netherlands-based designer Robert van Embricqs' "Rising" series of furniture, comprised of a stool, chair and table:
The Rising Chair was the first of the series. Van Embricqs explains how he went from sheet to seat:
The foundation of any chair is the flat surface you'll eventually sit down on. Using this notion as a starting point, I made several cuts in the flat surface and pulled up the different beam-like strands of cut surface. This created the preliminary but already distinct features of any chair: back, seat and legs. The rhythm of the wooden beams gives the chair an organic shape. The cuts are most visible when the chair is still down. But at that stage of the construction, I still didn't know what shape the chair would take in the end. This was determined by the various arches of the wooden beams the chair is made of. Folding the chair into its definitive form, as a creator, I felt a special connection to the material I was working with.
The Rising Table came afterwards, and with this piece, van Embricqs faced the challenge of trickily incorporating a flat, supportive surface into the design. "I
Balanced collaboration between design and material by Robert van Embricqs
The aesthetically pleasing, yet intricate complexity of the natural form fascinates Amsterdam-based designer Robert van Embricqs. While he found inspiration for his designs in bone structure, plant life, and movement, one question persisted: ‘To what extent is an object capable of dictating its own design?’
This question inspired him to create a minimalistic design approach that he describes as a balanced collaboration between the designer and his material. With the help of the creator as a conductor, the material is given the opportunity to blossom in the designated way, shape, or form in this relationship.
Flow Wall Desk
The Flow Wall Desk recognizes the possibility of combining functionality and art. As a result, a desk is created within one’s indoor environment. With just one twist, having a separate working area when needed becomes a true joy. It can be subscribed to as a piece of functional art that builds on the design track record of space transformations. This one, on the other hand, provides a part of the interior that changes over time: a cozy workspace during the day becomes a c

Architect Description:
Inspiration | The Rising Table concept is part of the Rising…furniture formula that finds its roots in the Rising Chair. This means that once again, the origins of this design can be traced back to the rather simple idea of starting with a flat surface that is capable of transforming into a piece of stylishly designed furniture. In designing the Rising Table, I felt it was of paramount importance that the source materials both dictated and guided the ultimate design, while ensuring practical appliance and usability.
During the design process, I made a point of sticking as close to nature as possible. Using natural design concepts for inspiration, I studied the various ways in which transformations take place in nature
