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.

Fritz Hansen’s New Lune Sofa, designed by Jaime Hayon, is a new modular sofa that does away with traditional modular conventions. Lune is based on curvy design philosophies, making it quite distinct from other modular sofas. The bold design looks and feels like a conventional sofa but offers the versatility of a modular construction.
