HAY’s 13Eighty chair designed by Dutch designers Scholten & Baijings is aptly named after the number of tiny holes in the moulded polypropylene shell. These perforations create a characteristic aesthetic, where transparency and a play of light and shadows add to the chair’s expression, while the variations in the sizes of the holes bring a sense of movement to the visual appearance. They also have a functional use in draining rainwater off when the chairs are used outdoors. Available with or without armrests in a stackable design that features steel legs with a weather-resistant coating to make it suitable for outdoor use.

14 is an articulated, cast glass sphere with a frosted cylindrical void that houses either a low-voltage xenon or LED lamp. Individual pendants are visually subtle, but gain an atmospheric quality when multiplied and clustered in groups.
16 is formed by sequentially pouring three separate layers of molten glass – in varying opacities – on a horizontal plane. Each layer responds to the indeterminate shape of the previous pour to create a uniquely layered whole. Two of these pieces are then attached and illuminated with an internal LED lamp. A modular stainless steel armature system connects the glass pieces to a series of branches and stems.
The 1965 Pendant was originally designed by Paavo Tynell in 1948. Like many of his best- known designs, the pendant was designed for the Finland House in New York – one of the most ambitious and successful projects of all time to showcase Finnish design.
Perfecting the techniques of metal finishes, Tynell developed the 1965 Pendant with his exceptional ability to capture and translate a
grace and exuberant lightness into his brass creations. Characterized by its triangular perforation pattern, an artistic detail utilised by Tynell in several of his lighting objects, the 1965 Pendant reflects the distinguished craftsmanship of the Finnish designer. With a frosted glass diffuser that softens the light, the pendant contributes to a subtle and tranquil environment.
Since 1958, this iconic Gino Sarfatti design has served as an ultra-modern representation of the traditional mid-century chandelier. Every detail of this state-of-the-art ceiling light is exceptional, from the mirror-polish finish of its main steel structure to the way each bulb is fitted with its own horizontal arm and the graceful wiring meanders down the stem.
The 2097 Chandelier holds 30 to 50 incandescent bulbs, emitting indirect light. It features a ceiling fitting and includes a suspension cable.
28 results from an innovative fabrication process that manipulates both the temperature and the direction of air flow into blown glass. The result is a slightly distorted sphere with an interior landscape of satellite shapes, including an opaque milk glass diffuser that houses either a low-voltage xenon or LED lamp. This single sphere is used to create endless configurations, or can just be hung as a single pendant or wall light. Bocci is all about customized installations

28s is a surface mounted light fixture with a 3.2″ (83mm) diameter mounting plate designed to be mounted on walls and ceilings. Please note, the 28s does not attach directly to a junction box and the transformers must be remote mounted.

38 pushes the fabrication technique originally developed for 28 to its technical and material limits. A large glass sphere is blown with a multitude of haphazard interior cavities, which intersect and collide with each other in unpredictable ways. Several of these satellite cavities are deep enough to hold earth and succulent or cacti plantings, while others house lighting elements. Each 38 contains two or three lighting elements per large sphere, housing either a 10-watt xenon or a 1.8-watt LED lamp, and one or two planters.
38V is a variant of the original 38 series where a large glass sphere is blown with a multitude of haphazard interior cavities, which intersect and collide in unpredictable ways. 38V is smaller, lighter and suspended with coaxial cables. The interior cavities can be filled with plants or left empty.
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.
Paavo Tynell’s fanciful take on nature is gracefully echoed in the 5321 Table Lamp, designed by the Finnish designer in 1941. Under the distinctive shell-inspired brass shade, the bulb subtly appears from beneath; a picturesque detail resembling the desirable sea shell pearl and making the 5321 Table Lamp a perfect example on how Tynell brought a playful nature and romance to the
simplified style of mid-century modernism. Blending timeless aesthetic with a unique sense of form, the 5321 Table Lamp adds an exquisite character to complement any modern space. Both decorative and functional, the lamp is a balance of elegance and curiosity, providing a design that is at once subtle and surprising.
57 results from a fabrication process whereby air voids of different sizes and configurations are composed within a larger mass of dark grey or white opaline glass. These air pockets are invisible when the piece is unlit, and come alive to reveal an interior universe when 57 is illuminated. By virtue of the method of making, each 57 is completely unique.
Designed in 1952 by Greta M. Grossman, but named the 62 Desk as it was deemed to be ten years ahead of its time. The 62 Desk appears characteristically light in weight and appears to defy gravity with its quirky asymmetric line and slender metal legs balancing on small wooden feet, a characteristic trait of its designer.
Its exceptional shape is emphasized with the elegant pairing of materials. The desk is made in American walnut and provided with a deep, black full gloss finish on table top and cabinet door. The desk features one left cabinet comprising of two low drawers and one high drawer.

The slender metal legs with ball shaped feet, a characteristic trait of Grossman, contrasts the sharp rectangular shape in luxurious American walnut, giving the furniture a characteristic appearance of lightness and almost seeming to defy gravity. Adding to its elegancy, the drawer is provided with a deep, black full gloss finish on table top and small solid wooden spheres.

The 70/70 table’s design is minimalistic, with a light expression that creates a striking profile. A closer look at the table reveals careful detailing that adds greatly to its special character. The almost reduced design is balanced with fine details in the plywood layered table top and form of the angular frame. 70/70 comes in three different sizes and is ideal for use in the home, office or other public setting.
73 results from blowing liquid glass into a folded and highly heat-resistant ceramic fabric vessel. The resulting shape has a formal and textural expression intuitively associated with fabric, which becomes permanent and rigid as it cools. A flat LED is positioned to fill the resulting volume with diffuse light, accentuating the volumetric perception of the piece.
A vacuum is introduced to a strata made up of of hot white and clear glass with copper mesh between; the vacuum causes the white layer to pull away through the embedded mesh, leaving numerous tendrils of white glass suspended within an interstitial space as it goes. The 76 from Bocci is a hand blown glass pendant also available either as a surface (wall or ceiling) light. As with many of Bocci’s products, they are often arranged in a series of multiple pieces hanging at varying heights, please enquire for details

A white glass moil is captured inside a fine copper mesh basket and then plunged into hot clear glass. Air is blown into the matrix to gently push the white glass through the mesh, creating a delicate pillowed form that is suspended inside the thick outer layer of clear glass. Sometimes the copper mesh basket folds and crinkles, adding specificity to each piece. Undulations in the exterior shape are a natural consequence of the fabrication process and accentuate the gentle white pillowing below. A low-voltage xenon or LED light source is introduced into the piece, casting a warm coppery hue.

Soda water is used to trap air in a super heated glass matrix, which is vertically stretched and folded back onto itself between pegs numerous times. As the glass cools, the folding motion along the grain of the loop turns the entrapped air into microfilaments that give the piece a pearlescent optical quality. A low-voltage xenon or LED light source is introduced at one end of the loop casting light through the microfilaments and registering a gentle gradient.
The 9464 Wall Lamp, designed in the early 1950’s by Paavo Tynell, is a great example on how the Finnish designer elevated illumination into an art form. The clean, sculptured brass shade lends an air of elegance with Tynell’s distinctive traits of twin dot perforation pattern combined with notched edges, making the wall
lamp appealing and admirable in all its simplicity. Equally relevant today as when first introduced, the 9464 Wall Lamp fits perfectly into contemporary interiors, adding a sculptural effect to the wall whilst simultaneously creating a relaxed yet very re ned indirect lighting.
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 designer’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 Leroy Collection features two unique and very sculptural designs: the Aoyama Table and the A3 stool. Aoyama, a district in Tokyo famous for its fashion houses, restaurants and interesting shops, is where Paul Leroy found his inspiration for the Aoyama table. The inspiration for the stool frame is the letter “A” whilst the seat dimensions match a sheet of A3 paper.

The high-backed version of About a Lounge Chair has a more formal expression, although the visual point of gravity appears to have shifted slightly. The body of the chair dominates the design without seeming out of proportion __ in fact, the effect is rather the opposite: It makes About a Lounge Chair seem more welcoming.

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 Lounge Sofa is the most recent addition to the About series, but the design has such a natural family likeness that it seems as if it had always been a part of the series. About a Lounge Sofa is simply two lounge chairs that have been fused together and proportioned to form a harmonious whole. The sofa seats two, and even though About a Lounge Sofa has an open and welcoming structure it also invites close and intimate meetings with its curvy lines and organic expression.

About an Ottoman is designed as a companion for both versions of About a Lounge Chair, but the footstool has such a strong visual expression that it can easily stand alone as an extra seat. About an Ottoman is reinterpreted late modernism, and like the rest of the About series it is able to blend into a relevant present or future, depending on your choice of upholstery, colours and materials.
Abstract is the name we are giving a pair of cushions made using techniques from the rug and carpet industries. Thick, woolly, harder wearing and generally more substantial than most cushions these are hand tufted by extraordinarily skilled craftsmen.
Kerstin H. Holmquist created this unique collection of upholstered pieces. She was employed at a furniture workshop and architect studio where she created this collection for one of her many exhibitions. She named her pieces inspired by Paradiset (Swedish for Eden or Paradise). The first piece in the collection was the feminine lounge chair – Eva and later followed its masculine counterpart, Adam. To compliment the two she later also created a sofa.
Jacques Adnet is a furniture designer best known for his Art Deco Modernist designs and an icon of French Modernism. Known for his avant-garde designs, Adnet was one of the first to integrate metal and glass in the structure and decoration of furniture. His style is the epitome of luxury. In 1950, Adnet formed a partnership with the French fashion house, Hermes, where he developed a collection of leather-covered furniture and interior accessories. Accordingly, he made a round leather mirror with brass hinges. Besides the remarkable leather and brass details, the mirror is also unique as the strap that holds the mirror is in direct proportion to the dimension of the mirror.
The Adnet Coffee Table was originally designed by French Modernist Jacques Adnet (1901 – 1981) in the 1950’s. Adnet was always ahead of contemporary trends and became famous for his avant-garde designs and unusual combination of leather, metal and glass. The iconic Adnet Coffee Table exemplifies everything the French architect and interior designer stands for and perfectly merges his Art Deco style with his strong commitment to functionalist principles
The Adnet Rectangulaire Mirror originates from the partnership of the designer Jaques Adnet and a famous French fashion house in 1950’s. By applying the fashion house’s knowledge and high quality of leather to Jacques Andet’s innovative thinking and design vision, the two parts created a series of remarkable interior designs. Among them were the Adnet Rectangulaire leather mirror studded with burnished brass rivets on the edges, a characteristic detailing of Adnet’s work.
With its simplicity of design combined with the warmth of leather and finest detailing, the Adnet Rectangulaire Mirror in three sizes serves equally well in a hallway, bathroom and dressing room, either horizontal, vertical, mounted to the wall or spontaneously leaned against it. It adds depth, reflect light, expand horizons and add a magical allure.
This rug collection came about as a result of an accidental encounter between Shakespeare, Africa and Nani Marquina. Glaser believes that ultimately all things are connected and that the role of the artist is to discover the inevitable relationship that exists between everything. Sometimes this is difficult and other times it’s a piece of cake.
“The general idea underpinning this project is to offer a lamp which can be infinitely adjusted to satisfy all lighting needs. We have developed a new type of lamp that is naturally positioned in space – like a plant – with long cables providing maximum freedom to adjust the direction and height of the light source. This object is the industrial version of the ‘Liane’ lamp presented at the Kreo gallery in Paris in 2010.” R. & E. Bouroullec. Suspended light fitting. Body in varnished aluminium sheet, shade in photo-etched optical polycarbonate. Internal reflector in photo-etched ABS. Directionable body. Powered directly from mains. The cable has a useful length of 9 metres and thus the lamp can be suspended 3 metres from the ceiling. Wall plug version and dimmer/switch on cable.
The idea behind AIRY was to create a coffee table that did not scream but still was not afraid to speak. The result is a table series that masters the fine balance between being light and airy, and at the same time having plenty of personality and individuality. Due to this combination Airy gets a multi-functionality that makes the side tables suitable for every kind of interior.
The central idea behind the Alcove Sofa is that a sofa can be much more than just a piece of furniture. This is especially true of the Alcove Highback Sofa, whose side and back panels reach an exceptional height. When someone sits down on the Alcove Highback, they find themselves in a secluded space. Thanks to the outstanding acoustic qualities of the Alcove Highback Sofa and its function as a visual screen, it creates a peaceful oasis especially in spacious living areas. This effect is even more pronounced when two sofas are positioned face to face, thereby defining a room within a room.
With its unusually soft seat and backrest upholstery, as well as the high, flexible side and back panels, Alcove Sofa creates the frame for such a comfy, safe and secure world, a place for relaxed withdrawal from the hustle and bustle of life: Two people can stretch out and sit opposite each other, leaning leisurely back against the side walls, and if required the sofa also provides sufficient space for a third person. Alcove Sofa combines the contrasting qualities of a comfortable secluded relaxation area with an open invitation to enter and sit down.
Algues are at one and the same time interior design components and decorative elements. Reminiscent of plants, the plastic elements can be linked together to form weblike structures – from light curtains to thick, opaque partitions. 25 Algues are required for one square metre of light mesh.

Dynamism and Lightness – Alya in Arabic – characterize this pendant lamp. Three slender luminous arms recall a gesture, or a drawing in the air, rather than a material object. In fact, Alya’s fluid shapes are the result of a natural bend in the aluminium that houses the LED lights and give it an extremely delicate aspect. Comes with a dimmer function.
Embodying the values of Scandinavian design, the Ambit Pendant Lamp is as timeless as it is contemporary. Made of hand-spun aluminum that has been hand-painted, the Ambit Pendant Lamp has a white interior to heighten contrasts of its outside shade and enhance the light omitted in any room of a home, office or commercial space.
AMBIT is a timeless and versatile pendant with a strong character. The lamp shade is made from old brazier traditions, press spun by hand, polished and finally hand-painted. The AMBIT pendant comes in 5 different colours and has a white-painted inside which adds a delicate contrast while also ensuring that maximum light is emitted from the lamp.
