The Papilio soft seating collection continues to accentuate the balance and fluidity of form for which Naoto Fukasawa is renowned, with its latest addition of the Love Papilio.

With solid structures and purposefully positioned curves, the sofa succeeds in offering maximum comfort, relaxation and strength while retaining its organic and statuesque aesthetic.

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.
