Designer Spotlight: Philipp Beisheim

Philipp Beisheim is a German designer with an eye to the younger generation of modern interior fashionistas. He aims to challenge traditional individual-object interactions with alternative designs. Experimentation and manipulation are the tools he uses to create furniture that is counter-intuitive yet retains enduring properties that speak to the emotions and behavior. His latest project Inflate Table, pictured above, was created to inspire youth to avoid stores like Ikea and instead purchase furniture that is unique and innovative. It acts as a protest against the consumer society, and its inflatable element is inspired by the hippie movement of the 1960s.
