Fossa Sofa by Aurélien Barbry for COR

For Aurélien Barbry designing is an existential exercise. “An exercise where you think about the most simple things in you daily life and ask yourself why you do like you do or how it could be done differently.” The Fossa Sofa changes roles when cushions are added to or removed from the slots in the seat.

Exhibition: 606 Universal Shelving System by Dieter Rams

Designed back in 1960 by a 28-year-old Dieter Rams, the 606 Universal Shelving System has achieved an important milestone: 50 years of continuous production by Vitsœ. A significant exhibition showing examples of the earliest production of the shelving system, which is being hosted with the support of The Geffrye Museum, includes rare and previously unseen in public examples of the shelving system of impeccable provenance. In turn, they are juxtaposed with the shelving system of today to show differences of detail but also that it is very much the same species, still able to breed with itself.
