With the 2017 Salone Del Mobile Milan Design Week in our rear view mirror, we take time to chat with Cult about their highlights from the event. Here, we share their top ten products from the fair.
From Lightyears comes the Suspence Pendant in Copper: Designed by GamFratesi, the Suspence lamp series is all about translating movement into physical shapes. In copper, the pulling shape of the lamp is given a eye catching and warm aesthetic.

The YUH Collection from GamFratesi: For the first time in eight years, Louis Poulsen returned to Salone del Mobile with the launch of the YUH collection. A flexible lamp – which comes in floor, wall and table styles – the most essential feature of the light is that it is personal, being able to rotate, rise and lower.

The bold design looks and feels like a conventional sofa but offers the versatility of a modular construction.
