1degOFF has heated up the design scene at this year SaloneSatellite in Milan after making its preview launch at IFFS/AFS in Singapore. With their range of quirky yet absurd furniture that draws inspiration from the Chinese mysticism, Bacus Boo from this design playgroup has offered new exciting takes on his 2-way usage wall-mounted bookholder available in various sizes to excite the user by creating a contemporary wall-art installation at home.

At this year's SaloneSatellite, Bacus Boo from 1degOFF design playgroup contributes to Tales of the Orient,a collection of ideas that steeped in Chinese mysticism.

[RE] booktable will be making its debut together with Planaroids at IMM Cologne 2009 at Hall 3.1 Stand Q-32a from 19-25 Jan 2009.This design shares the concept of continuity within a finite entity found in the works of MC Escher and a Möbius strip to take its form with two functions in mind – a low book rack and a coffee table.

This design draws inspiration from my poem about the life of a caterpillar - "Black and fiery, to hunt in hurry. Take a walk up the shady stalk. When prey comes by, it spins or dies. Till death imply to reborn as a butterfly. Caterpillar will never take its flight," by Bacus Boo. They are available in table, pendant and floor lamps

Besides being an online gaming fanatic, Boomerang has been one of my favorite game in reality. I am always fascinated by its orbital and returning flight capability. Despite of its simple appearance, the unique orbiting characteristic of its returning flight is actually guided by a complex combination of physics and aero-dynamics. This piece of furniture will be making it debut at IMM Cologne 2009 in Hall 3.1 Stand Q-32a from 19-25 Jan 2009.
