April 15th, 2013

Tacchini
Had an intriguing, colourful stand, showing what you could do with a bit of creativity. Sheets of bright plastic dropped from the ceiling, and mirrors accentuated the sense of the maze.

Muuto
The Danes keep doing it, with their range of accessories. We’ve always loved their playfulness and they offer a consistently good-looking but simple range – these are the items that can be used in most living environments and provide a way for more people to engage with design.

Stacked Shelf System – Julien De Smedt for Muuto
Glas Italia
It seems pretty clear (get it?) that glass still has a place in our environments, even though timber, concrete and metal are more commonly the featured products these days. Glas Italia explore a range of textures, and techniques, in their designer range of products.
