Carolien Laro's got more than Restless Legs

Dutch designer Carolien Laro has been on the blog rounds lately for her Restless Legs stool, seen above; but the rest of her book is also well worth a gander.

Laro's Memo-clip-bord stays with the idea of placing cuts in wood to give it a springiness:

Using similar techniques, her Boekenverzamelaar gets demonstrably fatter (but stays stable) as a bibliophile fills it up:

And we dig her personal toolbox, which doesn't use the wood-spring technique but has cool pivoting compartments to add some functional panache to the standard storage-rectangle.

Wow. Really terrific and inventive ways to manipulate wood. I cannot wait to see what she comes up with next. I love that stool and the toolbox is really beautiful.

I feel like the stool would occasionally pinch, especially if one was a bit heavy. Seems like some sort of cover/cushion would prevent that.
