Aluminium group management chair The Eameses most famous foray into
office furniture came out of a suite of
lightweight designs created for Eero
Saarinen and Alexander Girard to use in a
home for J. Irwin Miller in 1958. Over 60
years later it is still used in offices around
the world.

Malawi chair
The tradition of wicker weaving has
a long history in Malawi. Artisans who
make these chairs today have learned the
technique from generations before them.
A trend that has thrived during the
pandemic is rounded edge furniture,
bringing a more feminine, softer, modern
touch to an interior, while being forgiving
against more angular décor choices. This
trend is extending past C-shaped sofas
into anything with a softer rounded
edge such as circular dining tables and
reimaged contemporary chairs. dw
