Cats love climbing through cozy spaces. That’s why the CATable, a beautifully functional work surface with built in tunnels for burrowing, is so appealing to them. In the words of designer Ruan Hao, "It is a table for us, and a paradise for cats."
You might not have the sun beating down on you, the smell of fresh grass, or the sounds of kids having fun, but Valerio Berruti’s Summertime couch is not only comfier than a real park bench since it’s made out of foam—you also never have to worry about it being bombed by pigeons.
Co-working can be tough: regular users of a space have their natural sprawl, while those spending just a few hours at a desk would prefer a minimum of clutter. This desk has hidden depths to cater for all.
Every April around this time, Milan welcomes creative types from all across the globe for the Salone Internazionale del Mobile—pretty much the wildest week in the design world.
