Indesign Media’s editors collaborated with the team at Stylecraft to get the most out of Milan for 2017’s Salone del Mobile!

Here, we chat with three of the biggest design houses in contemporary A+D: Tacchini, Arper and Karimoku New Standard, all represented by Stylecraft!

See our interview with leading design duo, Scholten & Baijings, as they chat about their Colour Wood timber chair, the latest addition to their collections with Karimoku New Standard.

Also catching up with Jeannette Alther, founding partner of duo Altherr Molina, Stylecraft found out about the studio’s longstanding collaboration with Arper and their release for 2017, Arcos.

Dynamic design duo, Luke Pearson and Tom Lloyd, have collaborated with Tacchini for over a decade. Their London based practice works across aviation, workplace, urban, healthcare and of course furniture. Stylecraft spoke with PearsonLloyd about their partnership with Tacchini, their new Ischia range and their thoughts on Salone del Mobile 2017.
