pierre paulin concorde armchair Design Pierre Paulin, 1960. Steel frame, aluminum, upholstery. Made in Holland by Artifort. Unfortunately, Pierre Paulin will never produce any more new designs, but his legacy contains many beautiful things, such as these armless lounge chairs, originally designed for the waiting room of the French Concorde aircraft after which they were named. They represent perfect seating for waiting situations, but in the past they have demonstrated their suitability for use in living rooms as well. Although the Concorde eventually disappeared from the Artifort collection, the lounge chair is still very popular among Artifort fans. This popularity, together with its characteristic appearance - without armrests - and the fact that it is so comfortable, is reason enough to bring this ‘oldtimer’ back into the collection. low back: 31.5” h | 23.6” w | 31.5” d | seat: 15.3” h | 18” d high back: 38” h | 23.6” w | 32.6” d | seat: 15.3” h | 18” d low back: $2,531 + free shipping in the continental U.S.

It can be positioned and used freely, in whichever way you please: as a table lamp, a suspension or a floor lamp, stand-alone or in multiple compositions on a single tubular metal stem, in the most diverse settings. Its materials originate from the world of technical clothing: linen treated to become highly reflective, yet also warm and suggestive owing to its folds, teamed with non-tear super lightweight nylon, with heat sealed seams as on deepsea divers’ wetsuits. Drumbox is a suspension lamp with a fabric-covered wire frame structure. There are two variants available: white for a diffused luminosity, customized by a fluorescent yellow sign, or grey for a more marked contrast between the weft of the fabric and the beam of light. 17.75” dia. | 14.4” h | requires 1x25W compact fluorescent bulb $860 + free shipping in the continental U.S. 10 | 1 866 663 4483

When designing for Established & Sons and Venini, Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec’s idea was to light up a voluminous round glass structure that would be balanced on a delicate aluminum support.

verner panton
living tower Design Verner Panton, 1968. Wooden frame, upholstery over foam. Made in Germany by Vitra. “Living landscapes” was a major theme in 1960’s design. Verner Panton, who was constantly searching for new ideas for the home, made a variety of especially interesting and original contributions to this theme, championing “more comfort, more of an experience, and more color”. His Living Tower uses all three dimensions of a room. The organically shaped sculptural piece can be used at four different levels. Panton believed that it is important to seek harmony between people and their surroundings... the living tower fosters communication and interaction. Vitra originally produced this piece in very limited numbers in 1969, and in an amazing display of inspiration, does so once again. 78.75” L | 26.5” d | 78.75” h $15,230 + free shipping in the continental U.S.
“ Most people spend their lives living in dreary, beige conformity, mortally afraid of using colors. The main purpose of my work is to provoke people into using their imagination and make their surroundings more exciting.” -Verner Panton

prouvé raw The “Prouvé RAW” collection presents a series of Jean Prouvé furniture pieces interpreted by denim specialist G-Star in collaboration with Swiss furniture manufacturer Vitra and the Prouvé family. Born out of a mutual passion for this French Modernist’s iconic designs, the G-Star and Vitra creative teams have worked together to give some of Jean Prouvé‘s best known designs a fresh and contemporary look and feel, while re-discovering the charm of some of his lesser known pieces. “Prouvé RAW” is a collection of design classics, which embrace the essence of Jean Prouvé’s work - a contemporary reinterpretation for today’s generation. Jean Prouvé‘s designs use a language linked to necessity and construction while simultaneously giving technically innovative objects a poetic playfulness. Generally described as one of the greatest French designers of the 20th century, Jean Prouvé (1901-1984) was an architect, an engineer and a passionate teacher, a prolific inventor, a visionary manufacturer and the founder of the Ateliers Prouvé, which was for thirty years the factory as well as a laboratory for his experimental architecture projects and innovative furniture designs. But above all Jean Prouvé was a hands-on “constructer”, who never stopped experimenting with his designs, and was always adapting them to the spirit of the times. Starting in fall 2011, the objects in the collection will be available for ordering for one year. The Prouvé RAW Special Edition comprises nine designs by Jean Prouvé, the products are numbered and feature a Prouvé RAW label. fauteuil direction chair: 25.6” w | 32.5” h | 24.4” d $2,960 + free shipping in the continental U.S. compas direction table: 49.2” w | 28.7” h | 26.8” d $3,345 + free shipping in the continental U.S. rayonnage mural: 76.8” L | 27.5” h | 9.8” d $5,070 + free shipping in the continental U.S. cité lounge: 26.75” w | 37.5” d | 33” h $4,940 + free shipping in the continental U.S.

bertjan pot | non random light Design Bertjan Pot, 2007. Fiberglass, epoxy resin, powder-coated aluminum. Made in The Netherlands by Moooi.

thomas heatherwick | spun chair Design Thomas Heatherwick, 2010. Rotational molded polyethylene. Made by Magis. Spun came out of research into the geometric simplification of a familiar object type. Could a completely rotationally symmetrical form make a comfortable chair? The result is not immediately apparent as a chair and when upright looks more like a sculptural vessel. When lent on its side however, Spun forms a comfortable and functional chair that the sitter can rock from side to side, or even spin around in a complete circle. 36” w | 36” d | 26” h $599 + free shipping in the continental U.S.

joe colombo | 4801 armchair Design Joe Colombo. Transparent or batch-dyed PMMA. Made in Italy by Kartell. For the first time in its 60-year history, Kartell will pay homage to one of the most iconic – and perhaps uncharacteristic – pieces in its archive with the reissue of Joe Colombo’s 4801 Armchair. Originally designed by the Italian master in 1965, the 4801 chair is famous for being the only Kartell piece ever to be made entirely of wood. Now, nearly fifty years later, Kartell has developed the complex and technically challenging engineering methods necessary to produce the design as originally envisioned, in its signature plastic. An authentic symbol of design in the ‘60s, the highly sought-after 4801 chair is revered by private collectors and institutions alike, and has been displayed internationally at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and the Centre Pompidou in Paris. The second generation of the 4801 chair is to be available in a numbered series beginning in February 2012, captures the curving sinuous lines and exact proportions of Colombo’s design, now in sleek transparent or white and black plastic (PMMA). 24.4” w | 25.2” d | 27.2” h | seat: 9.8” h $2,730 + $82 shipping in the continental U.S.
amanda levete | drift bench Design Future Systems/Amanda Levete, 2006. Painted glass reinforced polyester. Made by Established & Sons. A piece of found driftwood initiated the design for the Drift bench. The naturally formed fluid lines of that found object provided inspiration for Amanda Levete’s exercises in complex curves, angles and subtracted spaces. The Drift bench is an extremely sculptural design whose function, as a seating object, is clear although the primary concern for Levete has been translating her organic, highly sensual architectural language into a condensed form. The remarkable bench acts as a freestanding feature piece and works equally well on its own, mirrored as a pair or positioned in sequence. Offered in your choice of four colors. 113.4” L | 34.2” d | 16.5” h | seat: 16.5” d $13,400 + free shipping in the continental U.S.

changedesign | planet suspension lamp Design Changedesign, 2011. Embroidered fabric. Made in Italy by Foscarini. The initial challenge was to create a fabric lamp that was completely empty and without an inner frame. Inspiration came from a system devised for the “smart clothing” used by astronauts, where external embroidery stitched with a special yarn allows the suit to adhere to the body, retaining total flexibility and freedom of movement, even in zero gravity. By reinterpreting this technology Foscarini reinvented a familiar spherical object called Planet. A special yarn has been sewn onto the fabric surface which, when exposed to high temperatures, changes its molecular structure, stiffening it into a support. small: 21.6” dia. | max drop: 200” | ceiling plate: 6.25” dia. large: 31.5” dia. | max drop: 200” | ceiling plate: 6.25” dia. requires 1x150W halogen or 1x42W fluorescent small: $1,209 + free shipping in the continental U.S.

richard woods & sebastian wrong | wrongwoods credenza Design Richard Woods & Sebastian Wrong, 2007. Plywood, timber, paint, lacquer. Made by Established & Sons. Designer Sebastian Wrong teamed up with Woods in the first design for Established & Sons’ programme of ‘Collaborations’ where individuals from two creative fields work together. Woods’ block printed motifs were applied to Wrong’s utilitarian cabinets. These are reminiscent of 1950s furniture – a fitting vehicle because much of Woods’ work is based on a nostalgia for midcentury domestic interiors. The result is a family of storage cabinets: a small night table with a spring-touch drawer, a chest of drawers and a long low credenza. The WrongWoods series is currently available in four of Woods’ signature color-ways.

edward barber & jay osgerby tip ton chair Design Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby, 2011. Polypropylene. Made in Germany by Vitra. Tip Ton defines a whole new chair typology: the solid plastic chair with forward-tilt action. Its name refers to the two types of sitting experiences that characterize the chair – from a normal position, Tip Ton can be tilted a few degrees forward where it then stays in place. The innovation behind this seemingly simple feature lies in the skids, which rise at a nine-degree angle. The forward-tilt sitting position straightens the pelvis and spine and thus improves circulation to the abdominal and back muscles. Thanks to its striking appearance, Tip Ton is an outstanding dining table or home-office solution; it is also ideal for use in restaurants, conference and meeting spaces and educational institutions. Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby studied architecture together at the Royal College of Art in London. Since that time they have worked on projects where industrial design, furniture design and architecture intersect. Tip Ton is their first design in collaboration with Vitra. Tip Ton is available in eight colors and stacks four high. It is extremely durable and up to 100% recyclable. 31” h | 20” w | 21.75” d | seat: 18.5” h $345 + free shipping in the continental U.S.
