Pinch: “Our aim is to design fantastic quality products; simple, elegant and approachable, for real people’s lives.

During the Milan Furniture Frair French designer Constance Guisset presented the Dancing Chair, which is a rocking chair and a footrest ensemble. Gorgeous!

Table Islande is Atelier R. Bernier’s latest design. This coffee table with ‘pyrographed’ motives is made from oak. The pyrogravure is an electrically heated needle which is used to engrave or enhance patterns on a surface. Atelier R. Bernier is a French design workshop creating home and fashion accessories, for which they draw inspiration from nature.

Patricia Urquiola has launched her new sofa at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan this week. The Spanish designer created Fergana, a modular sofa for Moroso upholstered in fabrics inspired by traditional patterns from Uzbekistan.

Moroso: “The Fergana collection displays the results of a careful study of textiles, which combine ancient weaving techniques from Uzbekistan with European industrial-manufacturing techniques. The collection is made up of an exceptionally comfortable, large-sized modular sofa which can become a monobloc.”
