In 2009, Douwe Jacobs and Tom Schouten from Rotterdam wanted to create a chair that was compact, mobile and had a small carbon footprint. With some inspiration from paper sculpture and a single sheet of polypropylene plastic, they made the Flux Chair. The chair, which has won several awards in Europe, including the Philips Innovation Award, and which was featured in Dwell Magazine, has now unfolded in Bangkok at the Crystal Design Center. It's available in eight colors, from pure white and ice blue to bright orange and true red. B6,000 at Design Hive, Crystal Design Center, Praditmanutham Rd., 02-102-2075/-8. www.fluxchairs.com.
