These new OLLE dining chairs from IKEA certainly pay a passing resemblance to the classic Ercol, same look for the fraction of the price! I personally would use one on its own, possibly in the bedroom or bathroom to add that touch of colour.

Ecosystems BADA Table Transforms Into a Love-Seat
The real show stopper, and the piece that secured EcoSystems’ Best In Show status at the recent BKLYN Designs Show, is the brilliant transforming table they debuted.
Made from reclaimed walnut, the table transforms into a bench with a few quick swipes of a credit card. How, you ask? Well, you simply insert the card into a thin slot in the table to engage and disengage the locking mechanism. Depending upon the position of the pins (locked or unlocked) the piece is either upright and fully flat, in table formation, or folded down into a bench. Genius.
