Alessi - Croce, cross By Mario Trimarchi. Cross in 18/10 stainless steel mat. PVD coated inside. This Cross - very, very simple, although bicoloured - should not be understood as an invitation to religious commitment, but rather is much more modestly intended as a symbol of peace. Designed by Mario Trimarchi, Croce (Cross) is an attempt to impart a contemporary look to an object that seems to have almost vanished from our homes. Croce is an iconic symbol and immediately recognisable, proposed here in a state of dynamic tension thanks to being inclined with respect to the wall and to the presence of its black shadow.

Kartell - Audrey Chair by Piero Lissoni
New Kartell chair coming in June.... Audrey Chair by Piero Lissoni. Audrey is not just a simple chair. It belongs to an eclectic, multifunctional “contaminating” family that can go everywhere: indoor and outdoor, office, home and contract. All sharing the same DNA but with slight differences to adapt to various uses. Audrey is a versatile contemporary chair with clean and simple lines thanks to the lightness and resistance of its wholly die-cast aluminium frame. This is the first time a single piece, with or without armrests, has been thus cast. This version with the seat and back of plastic in various colours and the aluminium structure available in four versions of either shiny aluminium, painted aluminium, painted white or painted black.
