Designer Dima Loginoff of Moscow has a creative approach to modern seating as well as several areas of interior design. The young designer won a Design Debut Award for the Bone Lounge shown here, which is actually a compilation of many slightly different panels that when attached make a two sided modern bench style lounge.

This is a great example of the bold and unusual furniture design by Dima Loginoff that I am sure will be expounded upon in years to come. See the entire collection here.
