E01 by Giba

Motoki Yoshio of Giba designed these sets of drawers from Paulownia, the furniture company that bears the name of the wood it uses. Paulownia wood has been used to make Japanese furniture, especially chests, for over 200 years. Of particular note is E01, a set of individual drawer boxes that can be configured umpteen ways. Stockholm-based Smånsk, however, uses textiles to create a soft space that can be put into use as a private meeting area when needed, the Never Ending Office. And on a completely different note, the Tazi sofa from Ding3000 brings the Afghan hound into the living room.
