1. Truffle Pouf by NaughtOne – A Playful Pouf with a Charming Form

The Truffle pouf brings a playful energy wherever it pops up. Intentionally organic in form, its curvaceous profile charms from all sides, while the seamless top offers a smooth, durable sit. 

Truffle’s clever one-piece upholstery creates a seamless waterfall edge that accentuates the pouf’s organic form, revealing curves on curves with the play of light, and creates surprising contrasts along the seams.

 2. Facet Cabinet by HAY – Combining visual appeal with distinct functionality

Designed by Stefan Scholten and named after faceted surfaces, the Facet Cabinet by HAY is a versatile, multifunctional storage solution that is easy to move around. It is post-consumer recycled ABS plastic made up of three compounds: acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene that is non-toxic, fully recyclable, durable and safe to use. It features a revolving integrated door and can come on wheels, making the Facet Cabinet versatile and playful.

3. Cyclade Table by Herman Miller – Sculpted Form, playful nature    

Each of the three set coffee tables in the Cyclade family is distinctive in their varied forms, with smooth organic curves, sculptural forms, playful nature and intriguing negative space that can stand on their own or be nested together.

Embrace the perfect fusion of function and beauty with these nesting tables and invite endless play and flexibility with their varying heights, openings, and purpose.

4. Percy by NaughtOne – A Bold, Versatile Lounge Chair
