STUA NUBE, design Jesús Gasca & Jon Gasca, 2007

With a bold, linear outer form and soft curves inside, the NUBE is a cosy curved nest, perfect for the human body. Instead of a solid block, the design of the NUBE allows us to see all of the chair's structure and interior form. You really must sit in the NUBE to understand what a comfortable design this is.

The frame of the NUBE is made of solid steel in a shiny chrome finish. The frame is lightweight and elegant; it also allows for easy cleaning as the base is open and accessible from all sides.   

The outer lines and inner curves are visually enhanced by the use of two colours in the upholstery. The removable seat pad is always upholstered in the same fabric as the curved seat. 

From bright and vibrant colour combinations. . . 

stylish greys and beige colour combinations. . .

to the new elegant leather colour options,

the NUBE is suitable for residential and commercial use. Style your lounge with two NUBEs next to your sofa or place an individual NUBE as an accent in your bedroom or entrance hall.

The NUBE has been used for commercial applications around the world; from shopping centres to hotel lobbies. The NUBE has been designed with a metallic linking system which attaches one chair to another. Given the square form of the NUBE, many combinations of shapes can be created making it ideal for reception areas.

We have just placed an order for our showroom NUBE in the stylish two tone grey option! It will be here in about 3 week’s time. So pop into the showroom, have a coffee and test it out!

Tom Dixon Etch

Etch launched as part of Flash Factory, at the Tom Dixon stand in Salone Del Mobile, Milan 2010. The digitally manufactured collection includes this pendant light etched from brass as well as a candle holder. 

Made by employing an industrial process used to produce electronic products, including circuit boards, the method allows for intricate detailed patterns to be cut directly onto the metal.

The geodesic structures are made up of sections of 0.4mm etched metal sheets inspired by the logic of pure mathematics. 

The detailed pattern cast a mass of intricate shadows when lit.

Batch produced, Etch demonstrates Future Industry, where small numbers of high-tech products can be produced in greatly reduced time scales.

Li Edelkoort

Li Edelkoort is well known through the Trend Union for the many trends and lifestyle seminars she gives to professionals in all industries all over the world. I was recently privileged enough to attend one such seminar at the Cape Town Convention Center.

There were many observations which stood out to me however I’d like to share the more visual ones. Firstly, which I found fun, yellow is the new pink, don’t forget it!

We will bring the outdoors in, making the connection more literal. Ceiling to floor wooden panelling is making a comeback, with very tactile surfaces being key.

 Think industrial metals. Not too shiny metallics. Rust!

Lace, embroidery and woven grasses lend themselves to the concept that furniture needs to be lightweight and easy to move around.
