ESSENTIAL, IMMEDIATE, RESILIENT — 001 STOOL

The 001 Stool by Fredrik Paulsen is the smallest object in the 001 family — and it loses none of the bulk that characterises its siblings. Generous dimensions of timber are used to full effect, making a reliably sturdy object that is still light enough to move around with ease. Paulsen designed this stool with practical everyday seating in mind: archetypal in form, honest in material, and built to improve with age.

Made in Finland from sustainably sourced Finnish pine.

DESIGN. From Indurstrial Design.

The Plié Side Table is part of the 2019 German Design Awards-winning Plié shelving system that offers simple solutions for organising, displaying and storing your belongings.
Designed by Cesare Bizzotto and Tobias Nitsche, the square unit uses the least amount of powder-coated aluminium possible which, folded, results in a lightweight, yet highly robust structure. This means that any unit can be assembled with only a handful of components.
The square unit is a sculptural piece that finds its place in any room. This small storage unit can be used in a variety of ways such as a side or end table: a sleek frame to store and display your items.

DESIGN. Jeanne Mercier.

Designed by Jeanne Mercier, the starting point for the Shoe Rack was to build an object that could easily blend in urban flats with space restriction; something discreet enough, but also worthy of becoming a highlight in any space. The result is a stackable shoe rack that can be used as self-standing rack or wall-mounted, each in two different positions. By expanding its functionality, the Shoe Rack transformed from furniture born to be hidden away, into an object that can easily become the bold highlight of any space — or a subtle spotlight for prized shoes.

THE DINING CHAIR THAT PROVES ITS WORTH — THE DOSINA

NATURE’S STRENGTH, BEAUTIFULLY STACKED — THE FLAX STACKER

The Flax Stacker by Boris Berlin for Please Wait to Be Seated is a reinterpretation of the modern shell chair, created with a focus on organic materials. The result is an ultralight, super-strong, and stackable chair crafted primarily from flax fibres — one of the strongest natural cellulose materials available.

Flax gives the design a distinctive aesthetic beauty: a warm, tactile softness with a raw, authentic expression that makes each chair a statement piece in its own right. The seat and backrest are secured to a robust steel frame with rivets, making parts easy to replace and the chair fully recyclable at end of life.

• Flax Fibre Shell: Ultralight, super-strong, and naturally beautiful
• Sound-Absorbing: Flax absorbs more sound than moulded veneer or plastic
