Scarabée,
Design Damien Langlois-Meurinne, Pouenat

One of France’s Living Heritage Companies, this wrought-iron workshop regularly invites young creatives to design its collections. This imaginative desk is all poetry, lightness and freedom of form. An original, well-balanced contemporary piece, superbly made, of course.

Gender
Design Patricia Urquiola, Cassina

This chair is named for the way it changes identity through different combinations of colours and materials and the association of two independent elements: a flexible, enveloping structure and a soft inner seat and back.
