Above: 1.3 STOOL by Kihyun Kim for Zeitraum
1 | Butter Stools by Sarah Gibson & Nicholas Karlovasitis for DesignByThem
The Butter Stool and Butter Bar Stool are part of the range of recycled furniture by DesignByThem – consisting of 80% recycled content. The designers believe that there is a large difference between designing products that can be recycled and products that are made from recycled materials. Many products can be recycled however the majority use virgin plastic, essentially adding more plastic to a saturated recycling system.
Aside from the sustainable attributes of the Butter Bar Stool and Butter Stool, they remain extremely robust, being UV stable and water resistant – maintaining the designers’ beliefs that sustainable products should not be compromised. Perfect for the environmentally conscious specifier.
The stools can be sent flat packed and are cleverly designed from a single piece of material which folds together to become rigid. They are available in 8 colours, with the option to customise.
2 | 1.3 STOOL by Kihyun Kim for Zeitraum
The most outstanding feature of this delicate, light 1.3 STOOL is the wafer-thin impression made by the fine contours of seat. It looks if it is floating on air. Space-saving shape and stable construction give this ensemble big city flair – in small restaurants, snack bars, bars and bistros. Made with solid ash, oak or American walnut.
3 | Enzo Table by Krost Business Furniture
Designed to add a touch of brilliance to any space the eye-catching and contemporary Enzo tables are the latest addition to Krost’s collection. Characterised by beech wood legs and distinctly edged tops, Enzo tables ooze with a Scandinavian appeal and are right on trend.
Available in both side table and full height versions Enzo tables are the perfect way to extend a consistent look throughout a café landscape, or an office space. Table tops are available in black, white and wood grain and feature a uniquely shaped edge profile that lends to Enzo’s refined and sophisticated aesthetic.

To honour Chef James Won’s appointment as Gaggenau’s first Malaysian Culinary Partner, we asked the gastronomic luminaire about parallels between Gaggenau’s ethos and his own practice, his multidimensional vision of Modern Malaysian – and how his early experiences of KFC’s accessible, bold flavours influenced his concept of fine dining.
Elevate any space with statement lighting to illuminate and inspire.
In design, the concept of absence is particularly powerful – it’s the abundant potential of deliberate non-presence that amplifies the impact of what is. And it is this realm of sophisticated subtraction that Gaggenau’s Dishwasher 400 Series so generously – and quietly – occupies.
Within the intimate confines of compact living, where space is at a premium, efficiency is critical and dining out often trumps home cooking, Gaggenau’s 400 Series Culinary Drawer proves that limited space can, in fact, unlock unlimited culinary possibilities.
