Not quite furniture, so we (and Furniture Free Friday is safe, for another week at least).  Pattern designed by Karim Rashid?  Yes please! Rashid, one of our favourite (and the worlds) designers, together with Sancal has brought to us a series of patterns named Cairo, inspired in Egypt - Karim's native land.  With a strong contemporary approach, the patterns unite...

We've brought to you Sancal's latest products launched at Salone del Mobile Milano 2013.  One of the most exciting products coming from their Tierra collection is Elephant.  The colourful and whimsical ottoman/stool - the perfect accompaniment to the home sofa or public space. Here, capturing the fun essence and versatility of Elephant in video form, Nadadora introduces her new piece...

One of the most exciting companies doing the rounds these days is the Melbourne born Aesop range of skin care and accessories.  Utilising natural and organic products and spinning them into delicious (albeit inedible) products destined to make you feel better about being you. Their international sales now outweigh their domestic sales, and their name has become synonymous with good...

Turning away from the dreary neutral tones of hotels of times past, the East Hotel drowns itself in contemporary styling, artfully pieced by Sydney’s Sally Hieatt (Sally Hieatt Interiors). The East Hotel is a dense...

We love our furniture.  Pretty obviously, we live and breathe it here at KE-ZU. The distinction between tables available on the current market can be astonishing.  Responding to designs changing needs in materiality, sustainability, size and adaptability lends itself to creating a diverse range of table components. Designers the world over are working with different methods, utilising different materials in exciting...

We are never surprised by our friends at SANCAL.  Ever.  Known for their forward-thinking, the SANCAL motto is clear: Our premise is to design products which go forward with us, which convey value and allow us to create singular, yet defining spaces. ... and define spaces they do.  The quirky SANCAL catalogue stretches far and wide, all pieces bearing the...

Sancal present the FLASH collection at Salone Mobile this year with Karim Rashid, Luis Eslava Studio and others producing some of the most playful and comfortable designs we've seen in years!
