Dunder by Stefan Borselius for Blå Station

A section sofa and easy chair range born from an idea that all we need are pillows! One big to sit on, or perhaps two. One pillow to lean your back against. Perhaps a pillow to rest your arm. It would be nice if that was all, because pillows have nice shapes, squared but still rounded. Dunder are pillows. Pillows to provide comfort in every environment. All you need to add, is yourself, and perhaps even more pillows.

Jalis by Jehs+Laub for COR

Jalis is the magical word from the Orient for hospitality and relaxed communication with family members or friends. In any circumstances, for any living area. Cushions side by side, stories one after another. This is how oases of well-being–and favourite sofas–come about. Special upholstery provides support and fabulous comfort. Another secret? The Patio cover fabric with ornaments woven into it. Only becoming visible when the incidence of light changes, its patterns assume the appearance of fine embroidery. Jalis can float, rest on pedestals, integrate or highlight tables, change levels, and incorporate niches and floor recesses.

Big Table by Alain Gilles for Bonaldo

“As if it were walking, each foot stretches to reach further away. Whatever the angles, it always looks strikingly different from one point of view to another, as if you could never really grab it.”
- Alain Gilles

The legs of the Big Table are made of steel plates that have been laser cut and folded. All the legs have a different width, and have been cut and bent in order to reveal the different tonalities of their own colors.
