Alki – Zuzulu Space Layout System

Basque-made furniture manufacturer, Alki, has launched a new space layout system in collaboration with design studio Iratozoki & Lizaso.

Gumpo – pony

A combination of a seat and table, pony is an intuitive product designed to be used in both public and private spaces. There are many possibilities of seating arrangements – the round plate can be rotated to allow for more space, and it is easily movable thanks to its castors. Made almost entirely of wood, pony is available in 6 colourways – the fabrics of which are made from 100% recycled plastic waste.

Spectrum is made from sustainably-sourced Japanese oak and is available in a natural and black finish.

NowyStyl – WithME Task Chair

WithME is a fully ergonomic task chair with a unique, non-conventional adjustment mechanism – the patented arm-bar acts as a torsion spring to control the height. Designed by Martin Ballendat, the chair is made of only three components and is easy to assemble and take apart for the seat covers to be washed or refreshed.

Johanson Design – DICE

DICE combines two functions – a stool and a table – in a fun, practical piece of furniture by the designer duo Bottcher & Kayser. With one padded side and one flat surface, DICE can be rolled to alternate between the two functions.

Miniforms - Bice

The Bice chair, designed by Italian studio E-ggs for Miniforms, consists of a simple wooden structure with an eccentric, extended backrest.

Prooff - A Simple Machine

Combining ergonomics and engineering to encourage physical activity in the workplace, A Simple Machine uses various mechanisms powered by human energy to create a more active working day. Designed by HeijltjesAkkaya for Prooff, a cylindrical counterweight balances the mass of the tabletop and its frame, resulting in a floating surface which can be fixed at any desired height.
