The armrests of these chairs by Swedish designers Claesson Koivisto Rune reach out as though asking for a hug.
The Hug range by Claesson Koivisto Rune for Italian brand Arflex features deep, thin arms that angle upwards and outwards.
“The friendly and welcoming gesture, seen most clearly in the ‘open-armed’ position of the armrests, is meant as a universal invitation, saying ‘come, sit with me a while and I’ll put you at ease,'” say the designers.
The upholstered seat, backrest and arms sit on a wooden plinth supported by legs in a contrasting colour.
The Hug collection includes a dining chair, a lower side chair and a high-backed club chair that’s more enclosed.
Arflex presented the pieces at Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan last month, where Claesson Koivisto Rune also showed top-heavy chairs inspired by the work of American minimalist artist Ellsworth Kelly for Italian furniture brand Tacchini. See more design by Claesson Koivisto Rune.
Meanwhile Spanish designer Jaime Hayón presented another chair with outstretched arms for Danish brand &tradition.

Twelve Outstanding Objects at Collective Design Fair
Posted in: Uncategorized

NYCxDESIGN is upon us, and among our favorite happenings so far is Collective, a new design fair that has brought 22 galleries from around the world to New York’s Pier 57. Spearheading the impressive initiative is Steven Learner, working with a supportive bunch of designers, curators, collectors, and dealers (hence “Collective”). “As an architect and collector, I have visited the greatest design fairs in the world and realized that it was essential to create an event of this caliber in New York,” says Learner, whose architecture and interior design firm managed to make the gritty, 70,000-square-foot hangar feel breezy and inviting. Here are a dozen of our favorite works from the fair.
J. Lohmann Gallery brought a stunning assortment of new works from five European artists. Here, a ceramic and PVC “Tied Up” piece by Steen Ipsen.
The gorilla in the room, shown by Southern Guild of South Africa, is Bronze Age’s “Welcome to My World” (2012), a bronze and timber primate that stands nearly seven feet tall. “Shadow of Time,” a 1989 floor clock by Ron Arad, is at the booth of Stockholm-based Modernity gallery.

Kenny by Raw Edges for Moroso
Posted in: Product newsProduct news: the seat of this chair by London design duo Raw Edges for Italian brand Moroso is made from a single loop of material.
The Kenny chair by Raw Edges for Moroso has a pocket-shaped seat fixed to a four-legged oak frame.
The seat is made from from a loop of metal mesh, a thin piece of upholstery foam and a “warp and weft” fabric from Danish textile manufacturer Kvadrat, which has two colours of yarn woven in different directions.
The designers pulled out individual threads to reveal more of the weft, creating a striped pattern across the fabric.
“Turning flat material into three-dimensional volumetric shapes can be done in many ways, from pattern-making in fashion to complex origami folding,” explained designers Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay. “This project is all about the effortlessness of its geometry.”
Raw Edges recently created a bookcase shaped like a loom to display novels by young British writers and a display of hundreds of fabric ribbons for Kvadrat – see all design by Raw Edges.
We’ve published several Moroso products lately, including Patricia Urquiola’s chairs that wrap around the sitter like a hood and Nendo’s chair inspired by stiletto heels – see all furniture by Moroso.
Other chairs we’ve featured recently include a reissue of a classic design by Dieter Rams and a curved wooden chair with a cut-out backs – see all chairs.

The Elixir Fold
Posted in: desk, Elixir, Nari HwangElixir is a high-quality OLED desk lamp that can fold in three directions and be tucked down along the edge of a desk when not in use. A power outlet is conveniently positioned on its arm so that you can charge your phone or any other gadget using it. The design is space saving and effective. Moreover it is simplistic and maybe this is why I have a soft spot for it.
- Elixir can be folded three ways (down, up, and over), it can be installed on any side of the desk using the clamp.
- The arm can rotate up and down, right and left, and back and forth by 120 degrees.
- The arm of the lamp features a touch-activated mood-light strip.

Product news: furniture brand Vitsœ has reissued a classic chair by German designer Dieter Rams, the former head of design at Braun.
The 620 Chair Programme, first designed in 1962, has been “comprehensively re-engineered” according to Vitsœ, which last year was granted an exclusive global licence to produce Rams’ furniture designs.
Like Rams’ 606 Universal Shelving System, which Rams designed for Vitsœ in the same year, the chair is an adaptable piece of furniture that can be joined with other chairs to form a multi-seat sofa. Its castors can also be swapped for a swivel base.
Dezeen previously recorded a podcast with Rams at London’s Design Museum, where he talked to Vitsœ managing director Mark Adams about an exhibition of his work at the museum – see more stories about Dieter Rams.
Photographs are by Vitsœ.
Here’s more information from Vitsœ:
New licence, new Vitsœ chair production
Following Dieter Rams granting Vitsœ the exclusive worldwide licence to his original furniture designs, Vitsœ is pleased to announce it has comprehensively re-engineered Rams’s 620 Chair Programme delivering exceptional improvements in both quality and price. The 620 Chair Programme – marking its 50th anniversary – will be available from 9 May.
Vitsœ’s new production of 620 shows characteristic rigour and attention to detail. The chair has been completely re-engineered, right down to the last purpose-designed stainless-steel bolt. In turn, the very best traditional upholstery skills have been revived to ensure a chair that will last for generations, a point reinforced by the choice of a sumptuous full-grain aniline-dyed leather that will only improve with age. All of this has been achieved while prices have been reduced.
Designed for Vitsœ in 1962, the 620 Chair Programme has won numerous prizes and is collected by, and exhibited in, museums and galleries worldwide. Notoriously, in 1968, the chair was copied. Vitsœ’s co-founder, Niels Vitsœ, fought a lengthy court case that culminated in the chair being granted rare copyright protection in 1973.
Like its sibling the 606 Universal Shelving System, which was designed by Dieter Rams in 1962, the 620 Chair Programme is a carefully-conceived kit of parts. For example, a single chair can become a multi-seat sofa when more chairs are added. Or a chair on castors can be transformed into a swivelling chair.

Product news: London designer Simon Pengelly has created these curved wooden chairs with cut-out backs for British furniture brand Modus.
Simon Pengelly used steam-bent wood to form the seats and backs of the chairs, which are attached to a curving wooden frame with gently splaying legs.
Called Norse, the chair is intended as a contemporary take on a traditional Scandinavian seat and is available in a range of colours.
The chair was presented at the Modus stand at Edit by Designjunction in Milan last month where Paris-based designer Arik Levy also unveiled a furniture range with wooden bases influenced by traditional Japanese footwear.
Simon Pengelly previously created an airline seat that converts into a 2.2-metre-long bed for Virgin Atlantic.
Other wooden chairs we’ve recently featured include lightweight chairs by Bertjan Pot with wooden edges curved tightly over aluminium frames and the November chair by Veryday, which won a Gold Award at the iF Design Awards in Munich earlier this year.
