One of GUBI’s most innovative products, the GUBI Lounge Chair, is designed by Boris Berlin and Poul Christiansen of Komplot Design. The GUBI Lounge Chair is an evolution of the GUBI Chair which was the first furniture design to be based on the innovative technique of moulding three-dimensional veneer. The 3D design gives the chair a comfortable seat and sense of lightness – with all edges pointing away from the user. Due to this ground breaking technology, the thickness of the veneer is allowed to be reduced to half than normally used. Today, the GUBI Chair design is exhibited at Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and has won several prestigious design awards.
Designed by the creative partnership of Komplot Design, the GUBI Lounge Chair is the first furniture design to be based on the innovative technique of moulding three-dimensional veneer. The 3D design gives the lounge chair a comfortable seat and sense of lightness as all edges are pointing away from the user. The simple and clean chair design offers an uncluttered look that with its possibility for fully upholstery in any fabric or leather, is perfectly suited for the private home or commercial space where individuality and unique pieces of furniture are sought for. The GUBI Chair design has won several prestigious design awards and is included in the permanent exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
The 9602 Floor Lamp, also known as “Chinese Hat” was designed by Paavo Tynell in 1938 for the Hotel Aulanko. Characterised by its elegant and airy lampshade and rattan-covered stem, the 9602 Floor Lamp shows the design- er’s limitless imagination and unparalleled
ability to create designs of enduring beauty. Adding a playful, exuberant quality to the top, balanced by the more static form of the base, the 9602 Floor Lamp is perfectly suited for creating a gentle ambient light in the domestic living room.
Unveiled in 1948 at the Finland House in New York, the A1965 Pendant was an instant success for Paavo Tynell and one of the lighting fixtures considered to define his mid-century peak. It delicately holds some of his most distinctive design traits; the perforated and polished brass material combined with a unique lift mechanism, raising and lowering the lamp to different heights. The A1965 Pendant gracefully di uses the light down- wards through frosted glass, omitting glare whilst gently illuminating the room.
The hanging counterweighted A1965 Pendant was Tynell’s attempt to add lighting mobility to the ceiling fixture and comb- ing the advantages of the portable and the installed lamp. The impeccable construction of the A1965 Pendant fully reveals Paavo Tynell’s knack for elevating ordinary light fixtures into functional art and this remark- able style played a significant role in shaping the aesthetic of mid-century lighting.
The About series is HAY’s most versatile furniture series. It began with a chair and blossomed into a series with virtually unlimited potential. With the About series, Hee Welling has proven that a single strong idea can hold a wealth of development options. Today, the series includes dining and conference chairs, office chairs, bar stools, lounge chairs, tables, a foot stool and, as the latest addition, a sofa, and it is equally perfect for private and public settings. The About series is a true pragmatist, able to blend in or stand out, depending on the task it is assigned. Dramatize the silhouette with heavier upholstery, or opt for more subtle materials and colours. The many colour, upholstery and frame options are a particularly strong feature that allows you to tweak the design without compromising the basic concept.
About a Lounge Chair has a compact body combined with legs made of round wooden poles. About a Lounge Char has a strong signature and a keen sense of proportions with its late-modern references and contemporary textural qualities. It is available in a low-backed or high-backed version. In this high-backed version, the construction is made of straps, which makes the seat softer and eliminates the need for a cushion. About a Lounge Chair has a sculptural appearance, and the stitching in the back contributes to a graphic line that appears subtle or striking, depending on your choice of upholstery. The high-backed About a Lounge Chair is designed to form a whole with About an Ottoman, but even though having a place to put up your feet does hold obvious appeal, About a Lounge Chair also works fine in its own right, without the foot stool.
About a Table shares the general versatility of the series and speaks the same language as the rest of the family. The table has the same powder-coated frame as most of the chairs in the series, and the organic curves and the feet that raise the table off the floor give it a light expression. The tables are available with round or rectangular tabletops. The round tabletop rests on a centred frame, while the rectangular version has legs placed at both ends and a cross-bar construction that creates graphic and structural harmony. About a Table is available in two heights and a wide range of dimensions, which lets you create a unique solution to match your needs.

An extension to the AMBIT series, Stockholm-based TAF Architects have developed a new interpretation of the quintessential billiard table lamp. AMBIT RAIL is constructed out of three shades mounted onto a tube; a well-known yet charming typology which showcases what seems like a reformed, modernised chandelier. The AMBIT RAIL leaves a minimal yet striking impression which compliments a diverse set of surroundings. A key focus in the design process was the fluidity of the lamp. All joints and cables are hidden, and the supporting wires are remarkably thin, causing the lamp to seamlessly float in mid-air.

The Aplomb project explores the technological and expressive possibilities of concrete, a rough yet at the same time appealing material, achieving a leap of scale and genre: from large contemporary architectural buildings to a small designer lamp. In its shape and use, Aplomb recalls a burning torch, to be grabbed and moved easily to where it is needed. Its light beam is an intense up-light, but it creates no glare because it is completely screened from view by the shape that encloses the light source.
A collection of simple yet timeless lamps based on a transparent, nearly invisible balloon with a hovering reflector to serve as an elegant and stately source of light in any setting.

GamFratesi’s design takes its creative drive from a fusion of tradition and renewal and in an experimental approach to their chosen materials and techniques. With their dual traditional background, Stine Gam (born 1975) and Enrico Fratesi (born 1978) draw on the classic Danish furniture and craft tradition as well as the classic Italian intellectual and conceptual approach. Understanding a tradition and addressing it actively in the workshop makes it possible to expand on it. From this cross-cultural substrate they create furniture that respectfully reflects tradition while also featuring unique embedded stories, symbols and associations, often expressed in a minimalist idiom.

In the new LED version, affording high energy efficiency levels and durability, Foscarini wanted to retain all the emotion of the original model. For this reason, after a lengthy lighting technology design project developed by Foscarini, the new version with LED light retains the unmistakable effect of this lamp, in which every sphere recreates the image of the light source inside it and of its surroundings.The four LED circuit boards are installed on the aluminium plate that acts as a dissipator, and covered by translucent polycarbonate screens.
Faced with the challenge of blank paper, some authors capture its very essence on designer rugs. A graphic and industrial designer, a painter, a fashion designer and a writer and art gallery director create each of these four exclusive designs, in which four very personal visions of the rug as contemporary object are made clear. All have something in common: choosing the absence of colour, black and white in monochrome, to intensify its identity. A dichotomy. A horizontal canvas. A work of art underfoot.
In the 1990s, Rodolfo Dordoni designed a collection of table, floor and suspension lamps for Foscarini in brightly coloured blown glass, named after the nstural elements: Fruits, Blossom and Buds. Today, Buds has been restyled again, interpreting contemporary taste with a sophisticated wealth and focus on materials. The star of the design remains blown-glass, with a five-layer hand-crafted process, which is immediately evident thanks to the larger cut of the diffuser. With the new rangfe of colours – cold brown, cold grey, bamboo green and white, with a straw-yellow internal finish – Buds takes on a dual value: it is warm when the lamp is on and cold when off.
The Cage Pendent collection is inspired by the lamps of miners and workers, protected by a metal cage which in Cage becomes a decorative element, thanks to its artisan craftsmanship, which can be seen in its irregular structure, and to the colours that characterise it.

The In Between chair was the first chair to be added to the &tradition stable of furniture and Kallio has reinterpreted certain aspects of the chair in the creation of the table. The curvature of the circular table is for example reminiscent of the negative space in the form of the chairÍs back rest. Similarly the angles of the legs of the table reflect the angles of the chair legs. The table legs were created using woodturning, a traditional technique that uses a lathe to shape wood.
Jesus Gasca, the founder of STUA, has created this new design: Lau, a wooden table with the aim to become a timeless design.

Jesús Gasca, the founder of STUA, and his son Jon Gasca, have created the new STUA design: Libera armchair. The visual character of Libera comes from its wooden frame, where the legs are connected with the arms in a fluid way. The designers have worked the wood material with liberty, as if it was a liquid. Using contemporary technology the wooden surfaces are now tactile and organic. Libera has also a surprising comfort achieved by the use of new elastic materials. Following the quote of Mies Van Der Rohe “God is in the details” the frame of Libera has a classic shape, with details enhanced thought the use of state-of-the-art technology. The result is an armchair with a resounding silhouette and a great ergonomy. Another new classic in the STUA collection.

Resulting from the marriage between the centuries-old tradition of blown glass and the industrial appeal of metal, Metal Glass recalls an alchemist’s still or a lantern from a Gothic setting. It is distinguished by a dense and almost opaque transparency, which is achieved by pouring soda powder into the still-incandescent vitreous paste. The ensuing chemical reaction creates a myriad of bubbles which are transformed into luminous particles, when the lamp is on. The borosilicate glass cylinder inside spreads the light while being part of the design.

Many architects and furniture designers of the Bauhaus era were intent on providing well-designed homes and impeccably manufactured furnishings for the “common man”. in 1955, Barba Corsini, a leading functionalist architect, realised his contemporary vision through his renovation of the loft space and the furnishings he custom designed for “La Pedrera”. Corsini was a great admirer of Finnish architecture, which he believed to be the finest in Europe on account of the powerful simplicity of the designs. ‘Powerful simplicity’ is indeed an apt description of Corsini’s personal design style, as represented by the Pedrera series. The Pedrera coffee table is both modern and classic.

Originally created by Wim Rietveld while working at Ahrend in the 1950s, the collection has been relaunched by HAY together with Ahrend. When initially launched in the ‘50s, it was regarded as a triumph in its innovative use of sheet steel, giving new direction for use in organically shaped products. Today, both as individual pieces and as a collection, it is notable for its sparing use of materials, simplistic construction and for being light enough to move around. These lasting designs manifest functional excellence and aesthetical lightness that have been proved in real environments over several generations.
