Here it is the ultimate pleasure of drawing and the power of provocation: the leather full dress, that reaches the floor, strongly opposes to the only polished metal shark finned back leg. Ed Archer is undoubtedly a scenographic protagonist.

Successful completion to the generous shapes of the famous Lord Yo armchair, Lord Yi table is surprising for its simplicity and the clear composition of the parties, deliberately signaled in his tripartite division of base, shaft and top.
A chair that incorporates the rounded 50’s style, however, ergonomically correct and more suitable for outdoor use. This is accomplished through the side slots, so fundamental to the flow of rainwater and to its stackability. Soft egg offers an organic image that can melt, so amazingly, with the organic unity of nature.
Neoz sofas, bed and day-bed emphasize the formal charateristics of the collection they belong to, by building a sort of living nest marked by the hem-stitched tissue whiteness, like past laundry, and the cushions’ softness. Large wheels, though, suggest it as an only termporary luxe.
Even a classical image, as a railed chair, in the hands of Philippe Starck acquires a particular connotation. In Pip-e, the sequence of horizontal elements, which create the seat and back definetly, takes on a strong chiaroscuro and goes, unexpectedly, to accompany the bending of the knees.
This chair highlights the traditional shapes which give a very fine and elegant impression.
The chair, inspired by a model from 1930 by Josef Hoffmann, blends his interest in Art Nouveau and simple shapes with manufacturing processes applied in Bystrice pod Hostynem since 1861. The armchair is therefore more geometrical, but bears the clear features of the manual bending technique of TON.
