Peg Chair by Nendo for Cappellini

We recently got the Peg chairs by Nendo in from Cappellini onto the showroom floor. They are comfortable and generous without taking up too much space. Here is what Nendo has to say about the chairs.

A chair with back legs like wooden stakes that pierce the sides of the backrest. The stakes give the backrest a nipped-in curve which provides firm lower back support and comfortable seating despite its compact size. A sweetly-sized lounge chair inspired by "supermini" cars like the Fiat 500 and smart cars that easily navigate Milan's streets.

More from Milan! Nendo!

Allison is back from Milan and we will be posting more pictures all week! And be sure to see more on our Facebook page as well!

If you haven't heard of Nendo, well, then here is your introduction. Nendo is a Japanese design company run by Oki Sato. Their work is absolutely stunning and always produces some of the best coming out of Milan during iSaloni. This year, Nendo did not disappoint. I love their work but also how they display and explain their pieces. They are really thoughtful in all that they do. Gorgeous work!

Holiday Gift Ideas: Maruni Shoe Horn

When you lift the top part of the cone, the shoehorn comes away like a conic section. As the name suggests, shoehorns were first made by carving animal horns; the shearing motion of the shoe-horn pays homage to its origins. The shoehorn and stand, connected by an embedded neodymium magnet, are carved from a single block of wood for complete continuity of the wood grain.
