Italian furniture manufacturer Miniforms celebrates colourful and vibrant design, pushing boundaries in avant-garde production techniques. The brand’s elegance is as relevant today as when it was first established in 1970; pieces like the Ozz Lamp speak to a shapely rhythm and evoke a dynamical play between form and function. Designed by Paolo Cappello, the Miniforms Caruso cabinet – with its HI-FI system, Bluetooth connection and high-quality sound system – redefines traditional structure. Its iconic detailing can be produced in a number of finishes.

The Miniforms Manero Table and the Briscola Table draw inspiration from past eras. The Briscola Table is a reinterpretation of the card-playing bistro tables, igniting a feeling of nostalgia and warmth through an undeniable intimacy. The Manero Table, available in three wood finishes of oak 700, Canaletto walnut and vintage oak, speaks to a more traditional character in its sturdy structure.

The Frisbee Chair by Cizeta channels both dramatic flair and contemporary innovation. The Italian brand Cizeta understands the importance of innovation, skilful tailoring and the history of woodworking. Designed by Studio Balutto Associati with budget in mind, the Frisbee Chair is a durable design available in a selection of high-quality finishes. Also pioneering in modernity is Tribeca 3665, a contemporary reinterpretation of an iconic 60s patio chair, crafted from steel and woven materials. Designed by Mandelli Pagliarulo for Pedrali – a brand established in 1963 – Tribeca 3665 is stackable and designed for outdoor use.
