Disposable products are widely used in mainland China, especially in hotels. Statistics indicate that about 25 billion pieces of disposal products are used every year in China’s registered hotels.

Marcel Wanders sent us this statement regarding his Personal Editions Series showing in Milan this week.
In this installation, I wanted to go beyond the sentiments and needs of daily life to create a sense of wonder and find a new space for design. I wanted to create intimate personal objects, close to my heart, close to my hands; from my studio, straight to you.

PLAY! consists of a collection of products that was conceived out of a desire to bring a sense of nostalgia and playfulness into the grown-up environment.

Drift was established in the summer of 2006, and has since then been the collective name for the designs by Linneke Gordijin and Ralph Nauta.

After more than a year, however, they decided to join forces under the name Drift.

This set counterbalances the narcissistic characteristic of a mirror by superposing them with wooden frames. When we take our keys and gloves just before going out, our reflection is melting partially into a still nature in constant evolution. Between presence and image, a multi functional set whose minimalist plasticity contrasts with the dynamism of the life which it reflects.
Designer: Marina Bautier
This chair originates from a workshop with the Campana brothers in 2003. The theme was “containment” and “constructing from deconstruction”. Furniture often take new shapes when they are being used. The user can, for example, alter the appearance of a chair by laying his/her coat over the seat and there by quietly stating “taken”.
Designer: Broberg Ridderstrale
The Origami table is a unique patented system. You’ll find other glass top tripod tables on the market, but none with an efficient flat-packed frame which works without fixing. The structure is so clever and simple that the manufacturing only needs two steps; stamp and bend. And that’s the secret behind why the Origami tables are such good value.
