Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec have a new chair design that will launch at Salone in Milan called Osso, created for Mattiazzi using equipment powered by solar energy and carefully sourced woods. From the designers: As designers, we feel involved in supporting such valiant microstructures that are always on the edge as they try to adjust to a constantly changing market. That said, the Osso chair had to be the illustration of what Mattiazzi is in its roots. We designed an object in plain wood but not in regular plain wood, the quality of the wood literally makes the object, like the best piece of meat would make the refinement of a dish

Zeitraum’s 2010 collection combines sculptural designs with contemporary refinement. In a departure from all-wood accents, ceramic is integrated beautifully with the new Apu designed by Hanna Ehlers. The Apu makes entertaining easy with its removable ceramic top and solid wood base (walnut, oak, or ash). Versatility is key and Apu may be utilized as a side table, serving tray, or vase
