Take an instant staycation with the new additions to the CTR collection designed by Piergiorgio Cazzaniga. The latest pieces, including a meridienne, lounge bed, and barstool, were designed with the same contemporary nuances as the originals: flowing lines, rounded 90-degree angles and a seemingly floating, flexible back, and a weather-resistant Tricord weave.

As Mies van der Rohe once declared: “God is in the details.” Designed by Ramón Esteve, the Casilda outdoor collection was created by reimagining and redefining the lines, angles and elements of classical furniture. Its clean lines and simple canvas act as frames for special elements such as straps on the seats. Casilda collection by Ramón Esteve for Talenti. talentisrl.com
A fresh spin on the shell chair, designers GamFratesi sought inspiration from nature and geometry to create this contemporary treasure. Their first collection to incorporate injection-moulded seating, its vertical slits recall tall birch trees that filtering sunlight into a lush forest. Aiir chair by GamFratesi for Dedon. dedon.de
