'Ribbon’ has been produced in collaboration with British designer and creative entrepreneur Nick Rawcliffe whose company Rawstudio, worked alongside the established ‘Protomax Plastics’ in Gowerton, Wales. Ribbon is being launched at Design Junction during London Design Festival 2011.

This beautiful little stool, whose form represents the distinct identity of a charity awareness ribbon, is as much a sculpture as it is a functional and inspiring piece of furniture. Rawstudio have utilised a cutting edge
rotational moulding process to create a product with a distinct personality that is manufactured out of 100% recyclable plastics. The original aluminium cast of the stool was painstakingly sculpted by hand over many months to create this emotive and thought provoking piece of contemporary design that also aims to give a little something back to those who need it most.

We will make a £14.99 donation from each sale of the Pink Ribbon Stool to Breast Cancer Care (Registered charity in England and Wales 1017658, and Scotland SCO38104) via Breast Cancer Care Trading Limited (CRN 2681072).

“The design really works because the process and the materials perfectly fit the form and the use. They’re single material, easily recyclable, single production process and made right here in the UK. On top of this they can be easily made in any colour for any worthy cause and they also look dead good!” Nick Rawcliffe, Rawstudio Director.

Taking the Rofan cableway from Maurach am Achensee into the beautiful world of the Rofan mountains, in the vicinity of the mountain station there is the sky glider “Air Rofan”.

It pulls daring people, secured by a rope, from the plateau up to the peak of the Gschöllkopf mountain (2,040 m asl), where there is the panoramic platform “Adlerhorst” (eyrie), an impressive structural steelwork. From this point you can return at a speed of 85 km/h, overcoming a course of 200 metres. A feeling of free flight!
