Furniture design
Furnishing the modern home, we believe that nothing should become... well, just part of the furniture. We’re in the business of the stuff that refines you and believe every decision on the homefront matters. Our team scours exhibitions, design weeks, ateliers and stores to find the gamechangers that are defining the contemporary design scene, from industry leaders and global brands to emerging talent. Browse to discover that perfect minimalist table, modular storage system or sofa, reissued modernist chair, Memphis mirror and more. Explore our favourite furniture innovations from cutting-edge manufacturing techniques to new sustainable materials and keep checking back to stay visually inspired.
Each year, our team heads over to Europe’s first fair of the year, IMM Cologne, to view the latest product and brand launches. Here we unveil our edit of Germany’s finest new contemporary pieces, from textured wall modules and stacking containers, to smart serving trolleys and monochrome lights, all brought together and delivered as a refined visual feast that featured in the April issue (W*229).
