Here are some actual images fro the Sergio Rossi temporary store featuring their mens’ collections in the Brera District.

A Salone del Mobile visit would not be complete without seeing the new products from major companies like Kartell. The first of the products is the Masters Chair. This piece was originally shown at last year’s show; however, the actual product is now ready for sale around the end of the month. If you haven’t seen it before, it is a true fusion of styles between three pieces of furniture from Eero Saarinen (Tulip), Arne Jacobsen (Series 7) and Charles Eames (Eiffel), all icons of contemporary design. The outlines of each piece is then taken and meshed into this chair that you see below.

Moving on… the Audrey Chairs by Piero Lissoni is actually made from aluminum, which is a first for Kartell. The piece is versatile in that customers may choose various finishes and color.

Here’s an “updated” version of the classic Windsor Chair called the Comback Chair. With this updated version you can select from a range colors. So your grandmother’s chair no longer has to look “old”…

These Magic Hole Chairs are outdoor pieces with two armchairs and a sofa (sofa not shown below). What’s interesting about this is that this is all done with a single mold — even with the pocket “holes” that are on either side of the chair or armrest. This is still in prototype stage, so there are still changes pending. When we know more we will keep you updated. Stay tuned.

As I was saying in one of the earlier entries, sustainable design is everywhere. This 111 Navy Chair is another perfect example. Modeled after the original Emeco Navy Chair, the all-aluminum chair made by Emeco for the Navy, the 111 Navy Chair comprises of around 60 percent rPET plastic and a special combination of other materials including pigment and glass fiber for strength. It is estimated approximately 3 million 20-ounce plastic bottles will be recycled annually for the production of these chairs. The chairs will be available in six colors: Coca-Cola Red, Snow, Flint, Grass, Persimmon and Charcoal.

In the US, you can find them at Design Within Reach.
