At Milan Design Week 2015, British designer Max Lamb was the subject of a retrospective featuring 40 of his chairs from over the last 10 years entitled Exercises in Seating. A catalogue of the event has been released profiling not only the chairs themselves but also their construction, as well as a miscellany of other imagery – all clad in a DIY-looking newsprint and plastic package.

This stackable stool made by UK-based furniture designer Max Lamb for Discipline in Italy is spun from one piece of metal. The simple shape, ribbed hand grip, and manageable weight mean it's easy to move around, for use indoors and out. Available in polished copper or enamelled steel, the durable materials make it a piece of furniture that will last for years to come, growing in character along the way.

People Watching: Max Lamb

—01. Living space.

Words

Leslie Williamson's excellent People Watching series continues with a visit to the home and studio of London based designer Max Lamb. "Lamb and his girlfriend, the artist Gemma Holt, share a live-work space in a former shoe factory in North East London. Entering the front door of No. 11, you pass through Lamb’s workshop first before entering the living area. The workshop is packed: polystyrene is stacked to the rafters, and European oak dowels of every size imaginable line the walls."

—01. China Granite Project II, by Max Lamb.

Words

Apartamento recently expanded their printed matter offering to include the first in a planned series of book releases: China Granite Project II, by the British designer Max Lamb. The book documents a collection of furniture produced by Lamb in 2010 using an igneous granite known as Sesame Black, which is native to the Fujian Province in China. The book itself is both beautifully fabricated and interestingly designed, and I'm sure will be as eagerly anticipated as each new issue of Apartamento.
