Holiday is a new concept for sofa design by Ferruccio Laviani. Laviani explores an evocative and decorative design, inspired by emotional, as well as physical, comfort. Holiday sofa has a light frame and a wrap-around backrest, against which the cushions can be arranged. Available in a host of different fabrics and leathers, this is a chic and comfortable sofa, with beautiful detailing. The innovative design abandons formal constraints and reveals a new aesthetic perspective. Thanks to its modular design, not one, but many sofa options are available, in both linear and angular compositions.

Following the success of the award-winning Arc table, Foster+Partners have joined forces with Molteni&C in another collaboration, designing the Teso table. Both designs share a similarly experimental approach to materials and production methods. The table’s base has been built by a robotic arm, which presses and twists a perforated disc of steel into a tough, tapered cylinder. The design team tested different perforation techniques in order to give strength to the base, while creating a distinctive geometric patterned mesh. The result is a complex form where lightness and solidity are seamlessly brought together. Teso table is available in a brushed stainless steel, brushed brass or bronze painted finish. An extra light transparent glass top (Ø 120) reveals the complexityof the structural form from whichever angle you observe the table.
