The whimsical Slice armchair was originally designed in 1998 and relaunched in 2016 with re-evaluated comfort. From armchair, to lounge, to tête–à–tête, the ability to vary the shape and dimensions through the addition of ottomans, or ‘slices’, paired with a variety of upholstery and color options, allows for extreme customization.

The Desa table lamp features a mouth-blown opal glass cylinder that is both sculptural, and functional in its purpose of providing a soft glow.
