Travertine buffet table

SolidNature shoulder-tapped Sabine Marcelis as one of their collaborators for this year’s Milan Design Week installation (the second time the brand has worked with the designer at the fair, although the relationship extends back to 2019). Here, Marcelis wanted to create an object visitors could interact with so she designed a buffet table and bar made from travertine and glass, where the tops of the travertine base blocks extended up as serving platters. To complete the effect, she called on culinary artist Laila Gohar to load the table with a visually-arresting feast.

Collection A table and chairs

Collection A, designed by Naoto Fukasawa⁠ for Kettal, consists of a stackable armchair with upholstered seat and backrest, and tables in three sizes: Home Deck, Meeting Table and Workstation, in natural and dark oak wood. The collection was born from the concept that chairs and desks made of solid wood are not very common in the office environment, but that they should be, given the way that solid wood can ground us and keep us connected to nature.

Rows sideboard

With linear forms and clear-cut symmetries, the Rows collection by Patricia Urquiola is a refined, artistic concept — geometrical and minimalist. Doors, side panels and table bases are both formal and decorative. The curved milled edge running the length of the surface is inspired by the nature morte of Amédée Ozenfant, a French writer and painter who founded the Purism movement.
