Sarah Ellison Float sofa

Australian designer Sarah Ellison took inspiration from 1970s conversation pits to create a supremely lounge-y new sofa in the tradition of Patricia Urquiola and Pierre Paulin. It’s a contemporary update to an old concept that delivers extra-plush comfort thanks to its soft, deep seats and gently sloping armrests. Plus, Ellison specifically developed a homey and luxurious shade of chocolate brown just for this collection.

Hay Korpus shelf

Sheet aluminum is lightweight and strong, and can be punched and curved into a variety of shapes. The wall-mounted Korpus shelf by Hay cleverly uses all of the material’s attributes to its advantage, offering uniquely curved silhouettes in various sizes and colors.
