Wingback chairs have sheltered their human occupants from chilly drafts, enveloping them in the warmth of crackling fireplaces since the 1600s. In Italian architect Giovanni Tommaso Garattoni‘s Gea collection for Adrenalina, he ditches the traditional chair’s stodgy looks for a sinuous shell accented by polychromed stiletto hind legs as a tribute to opera singer Gea della Garisenda. The chair sports a beechwood frame upholstered in high-resiliency polyurethane foam, while the beechwood feet are available lacquered or in RAL colors. Gea is offered in a wide fabric selection and 3 sizes: 78 cm w x 81 cm d x 94 cm h (30.7” w x 31.9” d x 37” h), 78 cm w x 90 cm d x 132 cm h (30.7” w x 35.4” d x 52” h), and 150 cm w x 90 cm d x 132 cm h (59” w x 35.4” d x 52” h).
Calling all Star Wars fans! This maelstrom of a coffee table by the late ‘Queen of Curves,’ Zaha Hadid, is loosely based on Princess Leia’s iconic braided side buns. According to Wookieepedia the distinctive hairstyle – known as Star Puffs – originated on Naboo, home planet of Princess Leia’s mother. Le-A’s sculptural central spiral is more than eye candy; it also stabilizes the table as the dynamic corkscrew design flattens out on both ends with dramatic flair.
Produced in collaboration with French atelier Leblon Delienne, the gleaming fiber-and-resin table measures 308 cm (121”) d x 79 cm (31.1”) w x 80 cm (31.5”) h, and comes in white, black, pearl white, or brass. At a limited run of 12 and €16,000 ($18,750) price tag, that’s some exclusive – but serious – fan merch!
This striking valet stand from Tuscan manufacturer Ceccotti is the brainchild of Roberto Lazzeroni. Inspired by Japanese characters, the spare, elegant form belies its true versatility. Interlocking elements transform the piece into a jacket hanger and a pants hanger, while delicately curved ends serve as belt or tie hooks. But wait – there’s more: the frame cleverly doubles as the back support of a lightweight chair weighing just 3 kg (6.6 lbs)!
Chambre Close is 19.7″ w x 18.5″ d x 41″ h and constructed of solid American walnut. It’s available in 4 finishes with optional shellac or oil topcoats. The plywood seat can be upholstered in a variety of fabrics and leathers.
Dive into Sergio Matos‘s whimsical Corals from Acaú armchair and you may feel like a juvenile yellowtail damselfish! The Brazilian product designer is known for working with local artisans using indigenous materials to honor his cultural heritage. Made from a mesh of varnished red cotton threads on a steel base, this striking seating echoes the Elk Horn Coral from the Acaú Reserve, whose branching structure is a haven for marine life. Measuring 90” (228.6 cm) w x 130” (330.2 cm) d x 140” (355.6 cm) h, it takes 3 months to fabricate due to the complex handiwork required.
Painstakingly hand cast and crafted in polyurethane by Chicago-based artist Ian Alistair Cochran, the Plump Console channels a ‘60s vibe while evoking childlike joy. Its colorful, transparent profile is reminiscent of Op Art – or a flat lollipop – and the piece invites interaction, as its components fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Held entirely through notches, the console can be assembled and disassembled as sheer entertainment – though at $25,000, it’s a decidedly luxe toy!
An intriguing aspect of resin furniture is its variability: pigments may shift in tone, hue, or saturation during fabrication, making each piece unique. The material’s reflective and refractive properties also respond to surrounding background and lighting and , dynamically changing the console’s color and vibrancy. Durable and low-maintenance, the furniture resists weathering, warping, or sun fading, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor use. The console’s dimensions are: 56-1/2” w x 15” d x 42” h. However, size and color can be customized. Color matching is possible and finishes come in High Polish or Matte.
