The storage units (with door, flap opening door, drawers, or open) are simply resting inside the structure and can be easily moved.

Lightwing

Controlling light to adapt to momentary requirements is at the heart of the new project by Jean Marie Massaud, Lightwing. This new floor lamp is appealing both for its strong technical qualities and poetic language. A bold shape with soft silhouettes, which stands out in space and recalls the world of architecture, Lightwing is a shape controlling light to adapt to momentary requirements is at the heart of the new project by Jean Marie Massaud, Lightwing. This new floor lamp is appealing both for its strong technical qualities and poetic language. A bold shape with soft silhouettes, which stands out in space and recalls the world of architecture, Lightwing is a shape that is continuously evolving, much like the type of light it produces.

Tuareg

Tuareg’s carrying frame is defined by three principal tubular elements that branch off. Each houses an LED light source that is independently switched on and off and is adjustable 320 degrees. “Going beyond traditional geometric shapes, Tuareg stages an unexpected ‘orderly chaos’ due to the extreme stability and harmonious balance of its shape.”

Flip

The shape of the flip diffuser, made of injection molded poly carbonate is no coincidence, curving where the central pins are situated, folding back like a pair of wings to allow the adjustment of the lamp efficiently as well as elegantly. Flip can thus produce an effect where the luminosity is reflected towards the ceiling, diffusing the light throughout the room like a wall lamp, or lighting a specific limited area downwards. 

Yoko

A delicate and abstract bubble, which moves through space, fills the environment with a Northern white light: this is the image that immediately springs to mind with YOKO, the new table lamp by Norwegian designers Anderssen & Voll. Conceptual and ethereal, and simple yet sophisticated, YOKO is a table lamp with a bold and modern aesthetic that challenges the archetypal form of a traditional table lamp. YOKO features a transparent piece, which rests on an illuminating body. The lamp is the perfect balance of simplicity and lightness, in that it draws its inspiration from the image of a bubble about to burst resting on the light source.

Hara Sofa

This sofa utilizes technological innovation and minimal design. A mechanism of the latest generation allows for a highly precise electronic adjustment for both the backrest and the seat, independent of each other. It is filled with a varnished metal supporting structure, sled base in aluminium: die-casting in polished finish or painted in matt white or matt anthracite grey and a loose cover.

Pilotis Sofa

The structure of this sofa, designed by Philippe Nigro, is made with five legs that gravitate around the upholstered seat. Sloping supports made of strong, stable, solid wood form a contrast with the soft heart of the sofa, creating a dialogue between support and what is supported, between the inside and the outside. With its unique design, this sofa becomes the protagonist of the living area, to create a cozy corner in a large layout or to form a special space of its own, set aside for relaxation.

Railway Tables

Railways are made of ties that were once of wood, and tracks: long metal sections on which trains can safely move. Railways are solid and stand up to the elements, offering a comfortable, peaceful journey.” This was the idea behind Railway: an outdoor 

table that stands out for its solidity, clean forms and functional rigor. In round and rectangular versions, the latter in two sizes, the structure in painted white or anthracite gray steel is made by starting with an angle iron that runs along the edge of the top. The legs are attached to the iron, which supports the natural-finish teak boards. A synthesis of extreme elegance and rigor, the Railway tables are destined to become timeless, universally appreciated outdoor classics, thanks to their minimal style and refined detailing.

Yuva Sofa

The sofa, with soft, rounded lines, is based on the desire to reduce, to simplify, and to get to the essential product while starting, in design terms, with observation of a cushion. It is a cushion fastened to a base, forming the back and armrests. The same cushion becomes the seat, simply placed on the structure.” A principle that is developed and takes form through the use of cushions with different forms and sizes, and the particular long stitching is done with threads of contrasting or ton-sur-ton color, to underline the fresh, young look of the new sofa. The rounded corners enhance the soft, comfortable forms, making the product ideal for informal contemporary decors. The sturdy, yet soft, padding guarantees comfort. The irregular sizing of the seat and back also helps to give this object unique character.

S-Table By Xavier Lust

If you liked the Elica table by Prospero Rasulo you are going to fall in love with the S-Table by Xavier Lust for MDF.

S-Table at Functions

The S-Table's sinuous base is a visually sweeping counter point to a variety of glass or solid surface tops that rest on it.

You will simply not be satisfied with a single passing glance as it gracefully winds its way in a double S-curve to masterfully balance the top.

At once the S-Table serves as a functional table and a brilliant sculpture.

Set it up as a focal point in a room to afford yourself and your guests the maximum number of perspectives.

Look for the S-Table in February 2011 at Functions new Los Angeles/West Hollywood showrooom.

Urban Bookcase by Claudio Bellini

The Urban bookcase/library system is a series of elements that started with a very simple idea: to create a single module to function as a library that can multiply indefinitely without repetition. The Urban can be used with no constraints and hooks, which allows you to create walls, dividers, verticals, and horizontal angles, small benches, TV consoles, hi-fi storage...or anything else you can imagine.

The infinite combinations offered in a wide range of colors, can also be used to create amazing decorative landscapes.

The apparent simplicity of the Urban library actually conceals a great technological challenge: to deliver an item in a plastic material (polyethylene) with large planar surfaces in rotational molding. The Urban is everything you might come to expect from Claudio Bellini, the son of iconic designer Mario Bellini.
