It isn’t a peg meant to fit in a triangular block of wood. But it is made of spun small striped pine and lacquer wood. It is not an umbrella to float atop your summer cocktail. But its surface will safely steady your summer cocktail, while its stem is sturdily planted in the grass-adorned soil, or wherever. Andreas Engesvik’s first solo project for Wallpaper* in Italy is a delightfully whimsical lawn table, available in three colors.

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.
