Critical pieces.
An EarChair is a piece from an office furniture range designed by Makkink & Bey studio. It was developed in order to solve a problem of lack of privacy in crowded, public spaces. By rethinking the accepted concept of a chair, the designers come up with a solution that allows its users to experience absolute privacy within a bussy communal or work place environment.

Mark the last veil by Roos Kuipers. Critical Design is sometimes referred to as 'more human design'. This piece is a perfect example of this emerging turn in art, architecture and product design. It provokes the funeral industry by challenging and questioning the standardised box-coffin. It is more lyrical and sensitive response to grieving and mourning process.
