Furniture and fashion are an increasingly popular pairing, with cutting-edge designers delving into the interior design industry to great acclaim.

Argentinean fashion designer Martin Churba has come up with an enticing selection of home furnishings available through Anibou.

Based in Buenos Aires’ Recoleta district – and now boasting stores in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka – Churba produced a range of home accessories, amongst them cushions, place mats, slippers and vases.

In 2009 he presented his first design for Gervasoni at the Milan Furniture Fair.

The giant knitted ottoman covered in brightly coloured cotton that brings to mind an old-fashioned ‘bean bag’ presents a snug and yet stylish addition to any living area.

The Sweet 40 is available through Anibou – distributors of international and local furniture, with stores in Melbourne and Sydney.

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
