Here are this month’s pieces that will evoke comfort and style in your living spaces
1. Wu chair by studioPANG for Artisan
Quietly elegant, the defining feature of this piece is its oval backrest – minimalist in dimensions yet ergonomically contoured to perfection. The backrest not only defines the chair’s visual identity but also ensures functional comfort, qualities that are mirrored by the similarly curved seat. Both elements are interconnected by vertical supports of spherical cross-section, reinforcing structural integrity while maintaining a sense of lightness. The design’s overarching principle is curvature, present in every detail. The curves soften the form, eliminating sharp edges and imbuing the chair with a gentle yet commanding presence. The nearly invisible joints enhance this effect, creating a seamless impression of unity and compactness. Crafted from solid wood, the chair also celebrates the raw beauty of natural materials, which are accentuated by a level of craftsmanship that transforms simplicity into an art form.

2. Object 2.0 by Dana Kharash
This sleek geometric shelf by Dana Kharash is a reimagination of a piece from his previous series, the Object 1.0 chair. By deconstructing the chair leg, the designer has transformed it into Object 2.0 – a sleek, geometric shelf. The shift in purpose highlights the versatility of design. What once held up a seat now holds your essentials, proving that minimalism isn’t just about simplicity, but also the ability to reinvent and redefine.

3. Tulpar rug from the Terra Incognita collection by Faberhama for NODUS
Inspired by the mythology of winged horses from Central Asia that were often depicted on top of yurts, each element of the Tulpar rug is able to express its dynamic nature through a unique shape, in contrast with the more widespread view of the carpet as a planar and static element. The rug is made up of a series of interlocking discs, similar to feathers in a large wing, while side-strings recall traditional harnesses and ornaments worn by Asian horses.

4. Rotunda drawer unit by Etro Home
The Rotunda drawer unit effortlessly blends vintage inspiration with contemporary refinement, creating a piece that feels both classic and modern. Its clean lines and thoughtful details evoke a sense of nostalgia, while the updated materials and finishes ensure its relevance in contemporary interiors. Crafted from curved multilayer poplar wood, the unit’s flowing silhouette is enhanced by a luxurious glossy lacquered finish in a rich wine colour.
