Classic vase now in a new modern colour
April 30th, 2007
The classical Aalto Savoy vase now comes in a new sand colour. Released during spring 2007. Mouth-blown glass, blown into a cast-iron mould. Iittala objects are design essentials stripped to their core; the pure union of function, form and quality that demonstrates our core philosophy of lasting everyday design against throwawayism.

Brasilia Lounge Chair
April 30th, 2007
The Brasilia lounge chair, thunk up by designer Ross Lovegrove in 2003, won a selection prize at the Cdim Valencia a year later – and it’s little wonder. A sinuous polyurethane frame embossed with smooth matte paint, as well as a matching ottoman/stool make this piece positively hedonistic for poolside lounging. From Zanotta.

Arco chair
April 27th, 2007
Marco and Claudio Bellini’s Arco chair is the perfect seating choice for the 21st century. A glossy sculptural body that glimmers like crystal makes the chair lovely to look at – but (would you believe it) single-injection molding makes it as sturdy as it is comfy.

Twiggy
April 26th, 2007
We must admit, we’ve been closely following the creative partnership between the dashing Marc Sadler and Foscarini and now we’re loving the result: Twiggy, a thoroughly mod (and thoroughly adjustable) floor light that reeks of good taste and sophistication. The four chromatic color finishes include yellow, red, black, and white. You can alter the drop of the light thanks to an ingenious system of counterweights.

VUJJ
April 25th, 2007
Vujj is a new Swedish design company well versed in, but unshackled by, the traditions of Scandinavian design, that seek to add a little provocation to the story. Artur Moustafa and Jonas Nordgren, who design collectively under the title Artur & Jonas, joined forces with Grupo Selther in order to set up Vujj in early 2006. Vujj has its roots firmly linked with the Skåne region of southern Sweden where the pair grew up; it is close to the border of Denmark and has a notable history of furniture craftmanship.

OTO 100
April 24th, 2007
The storage system OTO100 is made for the modern nomad and inspired by the fact that we move more often in our lives than ever before. It can be separated and assembled very easily. It has a clear sculptural value and you can put it in the formations you like best. When it’s not used for books, magazines, clothes, etc., It can lay on the floor, each ring inside the bigger ring creating a beautiful pattern.

Usame Table
April 20th, 2007
It’s no secret that around here, we adore Patricia Urquiola for her minimalist sensibility, which is complemented by an unmistakable playfulness. Usame is simultaneously a side table and a magazine rack. The table, available in transparent or colored polycarbonate, is strewn with Art Deco floral designs that make it quite lovely—and of course, we love the fact that our sleek tabletop is accompanied by a compartment in which to stow our reading material and other clutter. Available from Kartell.
