The Albero Collection
Unprecedented flexibility in sectional seating, plus
a compact size that solves the problem of how to include a sectional sofa in a
space-conscious home. Modular pieces like the Albero Single Seater, Corner,
Chaise and One-Arm Sofa (1999) further the collection's user-friendly appeal.
Use these pieces on their own or to expand the Albero Sectional (a locking
mechanism firmly holds the pieces together).
Contemporary Seating
If you ask Niels Bendtsen why his Neo Collection (1998) is just
as relevant today as when he first designed it, he'll point out its proportions,
which are something he's developed and perfected over time. An easy-to-live-with
and easy-to-clean seating collection.
Occasional Tables
Bottoni
When Marcel Wanders conceived of the idea to make a
modern sofa by the simplest, most economical method, he went to a master
upholsterer for direction. The result is the geometric but body-conscious
Bottoni Sofa (2002) which Wanders has likened to a quintessential designer suit
– stylish, sexy and fit for every occasion.
Sleeper Sofas and Modular Furniture

Havana Sofa |
Twilight Sleep Sofa - Black Frame |
| Offering the island-like sanctuary of a large chaise lounge, the
versatility of a sofa bed, and the storage of a cupboard, the Havana
Sofa readily adapts to the complex demands of modern living. Italy |
Designed in response to a furniture competition at the Arhus School
of Architecture in Denmark in 1999, the Twilight Sleep Sofa ingeniously
accomplishes what many conventional convertible sofas cannot do: It
functions as a single person daybed or easily unfolds for multiple
sleepers |

Vega Sofa |
Vega Chaise |
Freja Sofa |
| Should a sectional be in order, three or more pieces can be quickly
combined. For further flexibility, the arm of the sofa can be positioned
on either side and changed on a whim |
The Vega Collection (2005) provides a unique solution
for environments used for socializing, lounging and sleeping. Created by
designers Busk & Hertzog, Vega consists of a multifunctional Sofa,
Chaise and Ottoman. Denmark |
Aptly named after the Scandinavian goddess of love, fertility and
rain, the Freja Sofa (2004) by Swedish designer Annika Larsson is a
design of abundance and indulgence. |

Risom Lounge Chair |
Lady Chair - Houndstooth Fabric |
Hee Lounge |
Grissini Bench |
| The streamlined maple hardwood frame is expertly joined with mortise
and tenon construction. A deep seat pocket and tall backrest allow for
comfortable and supportive reclining. In the place of bulky cushions are
heavy-duty cotton straps, which are tightly basket-woven across the
frame for strength and resilience. |
A terrific example of sensual modern, the Lady Chair (1951) came
about when Arflex, a division of Pirelli, wanted to design seating with
foam rubber upholstery, and commissioned Marco Zanuso |
Inspiration can come from anywhere, and in the case of Hee Welling,
it was the interior of a refrigerator. More specifically, the shelves
inside the refrigerator caught the eye of this industrial designer. At
the time, Welling was fiddling with an idea for creating a chair that
uses only one material. |
Award-winning architect Giulio Lazzotti, working in the tradition of
classic Italian sculptors and craftsmen, creates objects of striking
elegance and sophisticated simplicity. |

Malena Sofa |
Malena Armchair |
Gisele Lounge Chair |
Bingo Pouf with Tray Table |
| Jon Gasca's Malena Collection (1997) has character and detail that
stand out from every angle. Two sweeping back legs frame a distinctive
ladder back, which lightens the normally heavy form of most 3-seat
upholstered sofas. |
The solid beech wood frame is available in an assortment of wood
stains or a white lacquer, and the graceful curve of the back slats
provides excellent lumbar support. The seat and back cushions follow the
contours of the chair and are tightly tailored. |
Intrigued by the puzzle of how to create a chair that provides both
comfort and ventilation, Aristeu Pires experimented with many types of
ropes and fibers before finding the right solution for his Gisele Lounge
Chair (2003). |
The Bingo Pouf (2002) is one of the most successful convertible
sleep solutions we've seen in compact form. When closed, it functions as
a spacious stool or as a side table with the included bent maple tray
