Harry by Eric Jourdan for Ligne Roset
French designer Eric Jourdan has designed a range of seating for French design brand Ligne Roset. Called Harry, the collection includes a sofa and armchair with deep seats and high rounded backrests. The designs are available with either straight metal legs or a bent tubular metal base. This design creation is a surprise coming as it does from Eric Jourdan and from Ligne Roset : ‘Harry’ is the most hybrid and bold piece of the new Roset collection. It is contemporary and classic, as switched-on as it is old-hat and yet beautiful – so much so that you don’t know what to think about its origins. Starting from an archetype of à la française style furniture reassessed by Jourdan’s eye, the French maker has produced a range that is authentically undatable, somewhere between 1940 and 2010, as offbeat as vodka & tonic served in Limoges porcelain.

Avalon by Michael Young for Swedese
Hong Kong designer Michael Young will launch a swivelling tub chair for Swedish design brand Swedese at the Stockholm Furniture Fair. Called Avalon, the upholstered chair is meant for use in contract furnishing and also comes in a static version. “Avalon was created as nod towards the man that first inspired me to become a designer, Vernor Panton,” says Michael Young. “I felt that there had not been a great deal of evolution in the big soft upholstered tub chair sector recently, certainly non that swivel and as ever I like to design things that I could have in my own home. It’s a serious contract piece suitable for airports and hotels alike. It is also the only one-piece injection chair produced in Sweden in the last 25 years and a serious commitment to the vision of longevity.”

My Life in 80m² by Poliform
A house of small surfaces with resonable costs, targeted to an audience searching for concrete and innovative solutions. The quality of a space does not depend on the dimensions and design furniture does not necessarily imply a budget for a few. The Poliform house is based on a simple architectural project, in which kitchen, bedroom and bathroom become a whole with the living area that overlooks the terrace. The fulcrum of the project is represented by the completeness of the furnishing project: day zone, kitchen, bed and elements for the night zone were carefully selected from Poliform and Varenna collections. Each choise, each detail is the result of a deep functional analysis. But our private world also needs some beauty. That is why the stylistic aspect has not been missed out: the Poliform house has been created with the contribution of designers like Marcel Wanders, Paola Navone, Roberto Barbieri and Carlo Colombo. This initiative reverses common preconceives and becomes an example of a responsible and accessible conception of interior design.
