A sinuously shaped sofa
All Curves.

This sofa’s name, Soft Machine, is attributed to the title of a book by US novelist William Burroughs as well as the eponymous 60’s UK jazz rock band. Its avant-garde styling is the brainchild of architect Giovanni Tommaso Garattoni, one of the founders of Bolidismo that succeeded Italian Futurism of the early 20th century.

This new movement celebrates speed and motion, showcasing bold curves and aerodynamic lines. Bolidismo exudes a raw, poetic vibe that’s poised between grace and tension—like something caught in mid-flight.

From Italian furniture brand Adrenalina, the seating’s overall dimensions are 125.98” w x 47.24” d x 37.01” h, and available in an array of colors and materials. To create the sculptural form, the sofa’s sensuous shape is supported by a skeleton of tubular metal covered with high resilience poly-density foam wrapped in dacron.

Modular cloud-shaped bookcase
Cloud Nine.

Created by French designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Italian furniture manufacturer Cappellini the modular Cloud bookcase is as versatile as it is practical. The double-sided storage system can be installed either horizontally or vertically on its side as shown. Joined together with nothing more than 2 white metal pressure clips, the white polyethylene units can easily be expanded to match growing needs. The storage modules are robust enough to be used outdoors and measures 73.75″ w x 17.25″ d x 41″ h with 13.25″ dia. Holes.

Oak dining chairs upholstered in white boucle
A Seat at the Table.

The Lana dinging chair is one of fashion designer Christian Siriano‘s offerings as he forays into the interior furnishings world. The quirky, chunky chair is made of red oak upholstered in ivory bouclé, and is 18” w x 17.5” d x 38” h. These custom chairs require patience (just like couture fashion) as they take 8-11 weeks from production to delivery!

Rattan office furniture capsule shaped like an elephant
Elephant in the Room.

Acclaimed Filipino industrial designer Kenneth Cobonpue is a master at incorporating natural materials into lighting and furniture. For those pining for exotic adventures while working from home, Barbar is the perfect antidote:  made from natural rattan, wood, cork, and steel, this ‘Office in an Elephant’ will bring the safari to you! Special rattan weaving simulates the elephant’s crinkled skin, but the openness of the work capsule is offset by the large cork bulletin board ‘ears’. The side of the elephant opens up to a work surface, center drawer and bookshelves on the two ends. More storage shelves are stashed in the legs for additional functionality. With ear flaps open, the gentle giant will take up some room – it comes out to 28″ w x 68″ l x 61″ h.

Aside from being a statement furniture piece in your home office, Barbar also provides valuable biophilic design health benefits. Incorporating elements of the natural world into indoor environments have been shown to reduce stress, improve cognitive function, and enhance productivity – a perfect setup for remote workers!!

High bar table and stools in complimentary curved forms
Celebrating in Style.

To commemorate 10 years of partnership with award winning  designer Karim Rashid, Italian furniture manufacturer Slide released Jet, a high table to complement the Rashid-designed Koncord bar stool. Jet’s ribbon silhouette mirrors the stool’s flowing lines and ends in a contrasting button-like tabletop. At 24.41″ dia x 39.38″ h, the table is available in a mind boggling 13 standard and 8 lacquered colors. But Wait, there’s MORE!! ‘Next’ is a special edition finish of Purple and Grey lacquers in Metallic Chrome and it’s available for both Jet and Koncord – in case you want a co-ordinated set of bar furniture.

Coffee table in solid maple inspired by the artist's palette
Color me Maple.

Vancouver, Canada based MSJ Furniture Studio is a woodcraft atelier that produces artisanal furniture. The Palette Coffee Table is a riff off the artist’s palette. The whitewashed maple slab of the table top stands in contrast to the monumental clear finished solid maple hand turned legs. It is available in All white maple, All white beech, Walnut, and White Oak. The table height options are 12”, 14” and 15”. Being totally bespoke, the furniture’s size, wood species, and finish can all be customized.
