Tacchini

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.

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.
