Beyond the shape: seating as a gesture of connection. In the world of design, every gesture carries meaning. The choice of a material, the intensity of a curve, the precision of a detail – all these elements help define a project that doesn’t merely fulfil a function but creates an experience. This is the approach that Sylvain Willenz has brought to his collaboration with Italian company Arrmet: a meeting point between formal research and the human side of design. The Cèpe collection takes shape through an organic modularity, capable of adapting to various spaces and design styles.

Originally developed in Copenhagen in 1974, Limit Lounge Chair quickly gained international recognition. With this reissue, Normann Copenhagen affirms the enduring strength of the original design’s material logic and restraint — acknowledging that some designs are simply right the first time. The name Limit reflects the conditions under which the chair was conceived — a moment defined by material scarcity and structural clarity — and speaks to a design shaped by conscious reduction rather than excess. Its ingenuity earned it a place in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Decades later, its relevance feels undiminished.

Some design gestures need no explanation. A continuous aluminium tube that curves, wraps, and supports. That draws in the air the precise boundary between structure and rest. That’s Gum. The Gum outdoor furniture collection is the latest collaboration between architect Ramón Esteve and Vondom. A collection where the tubular line isn’t just structure — it’s character. A continuous stroke that runs through every piece — sofa, lounge chair, dining chair, tables — with the fluidity of a hand-drawn gesture and the precision of decades spent thinking about how we inhabit spaces.

Retaining the original’s symmetrical design language, the Palissade Cantilever Dining Armchair by HAY, designed by Ronan Bouroullec, offers a lighter expression of the iconic outdoor range, bringing a fresh perspective while preserving its timeless appeal.

Outdoor design has become a natural extension of architecture and interior design, transforming terraces, patios and gardens into true living spaces. Today, outdoor furniture is no longer defined solely by function, but aims to deliver the same level of comfort and sophistication as interior environments. In this context, a key challenge emerges: creating pieces capable of withstanding climatic conditions without compromising aesthetics.

Blå Station was born from a designer’s desire to put into production furniture which he himself liked and which, to his mind, deserved a place in the market. We present the fascinating story of this famous Swedish company.

In the world of designer outdoor furniture, the finish is not merely an aesthetic detail, but a design element that influences perception, durability, and product identity. The Serralunga Moleskin finish represents a distinctive material-led approach: an artisanal surface treatment capable of transforming polyethylene into a visually and tactilely sophisticated surface.This guide explores what the Moleskin finish is, how it is created, the benefits it offers in indoor and outdoor settings, and which products in the collection interpret it most effectively.
