“I was fascinated by this sofa from the first time I saw it in Tadao Ando’s building at Vitra. A new interpretation of the Chesterfield. Simple design, beautiful and very comfortable--unfortunately also for our cats.”

“A great variety of space situations and shelf contents, modular, simple and beautiful to look at. Good balance in proportions thanks to their rhythm, which allows regular or irregular division of compartments.”

“This was the first piece of furniture I acquired after a university lecture on Achille Castiglioni, who fascinated me with his approach to design. It’s an object made up of a tractor seat, a tubular steel support in the style of a bicycle and a beech stabiliser. Circular before its time.”

“Inspired by the simplicity and naturalness of plant forms, this is an object in its simplest and most basic form. If the spaces have a generous height, it matches modern as well as classic interiors.”

“A simple, reduced or even normal assortment of plates. A clear, unadorned formal language that works on any table and makes serving versatile. All by my favourite designer: Jasper Morrison.”
