December 14 in the capital's salon Roche Bobois on the street. Smolensk, d. 7, there was a presentation of the Speed ​​Up collection, which was presented by the author designer Sasha LakikSasha Lakik (Sasha Lakic) became famous by creating motorcycles for YAMAHA and KAWASAKI. This was followed by avant-garde bikes for the company MBK INDUSTRIE, and later - concept cars, developed by order of the company VENTURI. For a French furniture company ROCHE BOBOIS in 1996, he invented the Onda furniture collection, and in 2005 he introduced a new Speed ​​Up collection. “I have long paid attention to the fact that a car that stands still and a car in motion look different. I wanted to convey this feeling of speed in furniture design,” says the designer. Table from the Speed ​​Up collection Sasha Lakik created the same way as a car: first molded a plastic model, then scanned this object and made it a virtual model. The base of the table, more precisely, its most acute part, which accounts for the greatest weight, is made of carbon fiber - a very lightweight and durable material used in the automotive industry. "The next step in the design of furniture will be made when a new technology appears. For example, I would like to create a chair without legs - a seat made of leather that would float in the air" - dreams Sasha Lakik.
