Two steel plates are welded together and then expanded under high pressure, ensuring every Plopp chair is a unique creation. The black, yellow, gray or white stool/sculptures are either powder-coated or stainless steel.

The HAY-produced, moulded plywood Shanghay chair is composed of four small boards that fold around each other to form “the simplest chair imaginable.” Originally conceived for the Danish Pavillion for the Shanghai World Expo 2010, the chair was created to be a single segment of a long social bench that extends throughout both the inside and outside of the pavillion, in collaboration between BIG and Jeppe Hein. Multi-colored and easy to assemble, dissemble and reassemble, these pieces offer the versatility to create whatever hybrid design of the Shanghay you like.

A safe, stylish baby- travels as a Pli baby. The scandinavian designed Seed Pli pram is only available in the UK. The concept of a truly functional, pushchair (which we in the US call a “stroller”) that is not only contemporary, but extremely well thought out is brought to you here by Olivers Babycare. If you are strolling down paved streets, sipping a latte and pushing baby around, the smaller wheels are an ideal fit for the pushchair. If you find yourself walking across rough terrain or even snow- no problem, the bigger wheels do the trick, attachable skis available for this wheel size. It comes in three different colors, and is made to last from newborn up to three years-old, converting to an upright chair seat for when the time is right to transition. The Seed Pli pram has passed all applicable safety requirements, and comes with a number of attachments to suit your needs. Built with a durable, high grade aluminum frame and a range of flight industry plastics, the Seed Pli pram might incite more than a few admiring glances.

Wood and metal are furniture staples, but they have been classically rethought by Michael Young for their roles as components of the Lancaster chair. The cast aluminum seat and back are created to be indestructible, without compromising their chic, wearing either dark anodized or machine polished finishes. The wood legs are available in natural ash-wood and dark stain ash-wood. Emeco’s debut of the chair collection by the British designer will introduce the company’s first foray into component-based design. The Lancaster chair is brought together with materials meant to age richly, and maintain its stance as a good, sophisticated standard.

The craftsmanship of Murano’s master glass blowers inspired the design of this contemporary light created by Ronan & Erwin Bouroullec. Their idea to use traditional know-how from Venini, Italy gave birth to a lamp that balances the vulnerable nature of classically blown glass with the industrial look of hardware at the base, which is instead supported with a more delicate aluminum cylinder. The Murano glass color palette varies in function to the lamp, and ranges from pale pink to vibrant orange. Throw marble into the mix, and there shines a sophisticated display of light.
