Wooden bench “Osaka”, Studioutte
The wooden bench “Osaka” by Italians Guglielmo Giagnotti and Patrizio Gola is made of solid oak. The authors decorated it with black painted metal. A laconic and thoughtful piece of furniture not only has a functional but also an aesthetic function: the concept refers to the sacred gate of the Japanese shrine Torii.

Aurum Cabinets, architects Carla Vazquez and Caterina Moretti Aurum Cabinets, architects Carla Vazquez and Caterina Moretti
Architects Carla Vázquez and Caterina Moretti created Aurum cabinets that look like sculptures. Each product is made using traditional artisan techniques. The main material is wood, covered with a thin layer of 23-carat gold leaf. The latter is considered a sacred symbol and represents the sun, freedom and immortality.
Chaise longue nº 2.2.25.23, Formafantasma
A chaise longue, oddly enough, can perfectly fit not only on the beach, but also in the interior. The architects of the Formafantasma studio resort to the canons of modernism in this piece of furniture: they advocate simplicity, authenticity and integrity, contrasting these qualities with sentimentality and ornamentation.

Shelving from the “High Sections” series, Linde Freya Tangelder Shelving from the “High Sections” series, Linde Freya Tangelder
When creating the High Sections series, artist and designer Linde Freya Tangelder was inspired by the chimneys of industrial buildings in Belgium. “There are a lot of chimneys in Belgium that are no longer useful,” says Tangelder. “Their conical shape is very dominant. I took this architectural element and gave it a new function.” The result is an ingenious yet practical piece of furniture.
Ciela Scone Wall Lamp, Modénature Ciela Scone Wall Lamp, Modénature
Designer Daria Slushaeva came up with the Ciela Scone lamp, which can be safely installed in any interior as a decorative element. The sconce consists of a cylindrical metal body and a frosted glass “helmet” that changes its position. By directing the beam of light, you can create a unique play of light.
Gummy Chair, Faye Toogood
What makes the Gummy chair special is its volumetric shape, which, as you can guess from the name, resembles a bear. This piece of furniture is made of natural materials such as plywood, springs, burlap and wool. By the way, all of the studio’s products are handmade using traditional artisan techniques.
