Indesign was at Interieur to catch all the action with the latest in innovative design from around the world.

“The reactions were very positive. Guest of honour Jaime Hayon stole the hearts of so many visitors with his frivolous design and disarming charm,” says Interieur Project co-ordinator Dieter Van Den. “There was also a great deal of interest in the lectures and exhibitoins. Visitors don’t just want to look at beautiful objects; they want to learn things.”

Check out what we saw and stay tuned over the next week for more on the Interieur design fair and the Orgatec fair in Cologne.

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.
