"Maralunga" Set by Vico Magistretti for Cassina, 1973 Italy
“I could never imagine designing furniture or anything that wouldn’t last long – it’s just something I couldn’t do. I have never made cardboard furniture or anything else that was designed to deteriorate. I think a good design should not be finite, but go in and out of vogue over long time spans, retaining its potency even after a hundred years.” Vico Magistretti
The "Maralunga" sofa is the best selling sofa Designed by Vico Magistretti, from Italian producer Cassina. The sofa series won Italy's Compasso D'Oro award for industrial design, and selected for the permanent design collection of the MOMA.

Kentucky chairs by Carlo Scarpa, 1977
Set of six “Kentucky” chairs designed by the Master of Design; Carlo Scarpa for Bernini in 1977. Made from oak & walnut timer the chairs retain the original black leather seat and backrest with saddle stitching. Scarpa was inspired by the “shaker” movement and designed the chair to be slightly inclined at the front so as to allow one to swing backwards (until you lean on a wall) and still remain in balance. The high backrest and inclination of the whole chair are made to facilitate the oscillation

Massimo & Lella Vignelli "Saratoga" Collection, 1968
“We have designed this sofa because we really needed a sofa. And the sofa wanted was one with an architectural character rather that a soft, smooth object. A sofa that could be set out in the middle of the room. We didn’t want it to be pushed up against the walls; we wanted it to move around as needed.” _______________ Lella and Massimo Vignelli”
Lella and Massimo Vignelli
The Vignellis are famous for the creation of one of a kind pieces that are still considered today as milestones in the world of Design, and have been described as both “the first couple of modern design”. They designed corporate logos for American Airlines, Bloomingdales and Ford. The New York subway bears the Vignillis imprint, (and Mr Vignellis signature typeface -Helvetica). They designed dishes, office interiors, books, furniture, jewellery and many other products during the couples significant partnership. The Film by Kathy Brew and Roberto Guerra “Design Is One: Lella and Massimo Vignelli” is a tribute to Massimo and Lella and their legacy. – A must see for all Designers
