Florinda Stackable Chairs

Florinda Chair
design Monica Forster




Florinda chairs created for De Padova proved to be a crowd favorite when they were featured during Milan Design Week 2011.




The juxtaposition of antithetical materials like wood and plastic, in the name of aesthetics and practicality of use are the basis of the comfortable, colorful and stackable Florinda chairs.

Designed to erase the boundaries between zones, the Florinda lends itself to a wide range of different interpretations: from the dining area to the home studio. Its contemporary look and versatility enable it to adapt easilty for use in restaurants, cafes and public areas.

Florinda is available in solid beech finish, combined with colorful plastic seat and back. Stackable versions are available, with or without armrests.

Tozeur Floor Lamp

Tozeur



Tozeur means a non-place , and maybe a non-place is every place.

The Tozeur floor lamp is created from extruded polycarbonate and then transformed using an innovative proprietary technique. Inside the lamp are low-energy fluorescent lights, the twisting form camouflages the geometry of the piece rendering it almost impossible to define.



Tozeur: like a tower, an architectural monolith that is incredibly simple but at the same time indefinable. The combination of light and diffusion creates a unique duality: when turned off, it has an intriguing form; once turned on, it is a functional light sculpture for the sophisticated, minimalist interior.


Materials: polycarbonate
Colours: smoke, transparent
Dimensions: cylindrical: l.20 d.20 h.205 cm - elliptic: l.27,4 d.27,4 h.205 cm

The Tozeur floor lamp is currently on display at Functions.
