Simple rectangular cushions slot into grid-like tubular metal frames. The collection comes in seven colours and the cushions are available in leather and a number of fabrics by textile company Kvadrat.
“The correlation between the three-dimensional line drawing of the metal rod and the geometric volumes of the cushions marks a significant shift from the common connotation of wire furniture,” Grcic said.
Magis president and founder Eugenio Perazza described the collection as “a set of various elements conceived as simple rod cages in which the cushions for the seat, backrest and armrests are easily accommodated”.

Called Amass, the modular system comprises three different components that can be configured in several orientations.
“The branched form of Amass was inspired by the controlled randomness found in nature and the building blocks of life,” said Benjamin Hubert.
For 100% Design, 46,000 pieces were hung in curtains around the stage and seating area to create a permeable visual barrier defining the space.
“The brief called for a visually iconic space that would create a reference point within 100% Design,” Hubert explained.
“Based on observations from previous years, the auditorium needed to accommodate an audience for the seminar programme without excluding passers-by.”
Although other modular plastic partitions already exist on the market – Algue by the Bouroullec Brothers perhaps being the best-known example – Hubert points out that his system can be used to create structural compositions like walls and corners as well as simple curtains.
“Amass was created to build architectural structure as apposed to other modular plastic products, which only act as simple curtains or dividers,” he said.
“The Amass geometry allows for walls of varying thickness and corners to be created, forming three-dimensional structures.”
The parts are made of injection-moulded polypropylene, which can be recycled, but they are also reusable.
“Each year, trade shows reportedly generate more than 600,000 tonnes of waste, much of which comes from the exhibition design and structure,” Hubert noted.
After an event using his system, the whole installation can be taken apart and reassembled elsewhere.
Following its debut hosting the talks programme at 100% Design, the product will be made available for space division in commercial and contract interiors. It has applications ranging in scale from one square metre to over 100 square metres.

News: car brand Bentley has become the latest luxury brand to develop its own furniture line with the launch of the Bentley Home range of sofas, chairs and tables.
British auto brand Bentley’s collection of luxury designs for the home and office will be produced by Italian furniture brand Club House Italia, which also distributes the home ranges by fashion houses Fendi and Kenzo.

The Bentley Home collection includes a range of seating, tables in various sizes, a pair of cabinets and a bed, which are all designed in neutral colours with wood finishes.
Quilted diamond patterns on the leather interiors of Bentley cars have been adapted for upholstery and the same veneers used for panelling in the vehicles are also used.
The brand will display the products at the Maison & Objet Paris trade fair in January.

The new Bentley Home collection is inspired by the renowned craftsmanship and exquisite materials that characterise the interiors of all Bentley models. Designed to furnish luxury homes and offices, the collection combines Bentley’s inherent qualities of craftsmanship, heritage and tradition, exclusivity and style, with the exacting design of one of Europe’s leading furniture makers.
Sherbourne & Kingsbridge cabinet
This exclusive collection blends the finest elements of traditional and modern design, an exercise in subtlety rather than showmanship, incorporating functional performance with comfort and luxurious, sensuous quality. It captures the elan of the Bentley driver, through items that mirror the impeccable quality and attention to detail which is a landmark of the Bentley brand.
The bodies of the new Richmond pieces are created with an embracing double shell and can be covered in either leather or a fine veneer of burr walnut. The same wide selection of veneers which is available for Bentley car customers is also available for most pieces in the collection. The wood is then carefully matched to a padded structure covered in a sophisticated light cashmere. The seating reflects the level of comfort and luxury found in the Crewe-based marque, which makes it unique in its class.
The colour palette is composed of varying neutral tones of ivory and taupe matched with shades of beige and cream. Intricate details such as the leather braid around the contours highlight the soft and sinuous lines. The iconic quilted diamond pattern embossed in the leather interiors of a Bentley has also been interpreted into the unique designs of the furniture.

The new collection consists of the following new pieces:
Richmond
An elegant and sophisticated line of seating which includes sofas, chaise longues and armchairs. The enveloping external structure can have a veneer finish or leather cover. In contrast, the inner structure is covered in leather or linen or in fine cashmere velvet. The profile is embellished by a leather braid.
Madeley & Kendal
A large oval or round meeting table with refined Kendal chairs embellished with leather and the Bentley logo which can be embroidered on the back, on request. A trapezoidal structured table made of curved wood panels with edges embellished in hand-made leather coating. The feet are made of steel with a gun-metal finish.
Sherbourne & Kingsbridge
Tall and short leather-coated cabinets with veneered fronts; these are also available in smooth or quilted leather. Tone-on-tone lacquered interiors with external coatings and shelves of crystal represent the luxury and quality of both Bentley and Club House Italia, part of the Luxury Living Group. The handles and feet are also made from steel with a complementing gun-metal grey finish.
Harlow
A modern coffee table with metal steel structure and a complimentary gun-metal grey finish. The surface is made from onyx or leather coated.
Canterbury
The bed is characterised by an imposing headboard, embracing coated structure available in leather or fabric. The shapes are soft and convoluted, working in harmony with the contemporary and informal line. An innovative duvet cover, Fibra di Legno, is a high-quality fabric made from wood pulp that gives the yarn softness and smoothness, adding to the luxurious feel of this piece.
