Steven Haulenbeek

Here are two interesting projects from Chicago-based designer Steven Haulenbeek. 'Object Frames' are a clever combination of shelf and frame, perfect for displaying your most treasured knick-knacks.

Haulenbeek's 'Paraseat' is another smart design based on the simple observation that the places where people most often wait, (bus stops, subways etc.) are located next to poles. The solution: a portable little seat that slips onto a pole and self-supports your weight. No more questionable subway seats or city benches for you! (via Core 77)
