Bad Posture Chair by Mara Bragagnolo
A collection of chairs designed to accommodate postures commonly considered “incorrect” or non-conforming. Many people, especially neurodivergent individuals, naturally adopt spontaneous positions that traditional seating often fails to support, resulting in discomfort and restriction. Each piece in the collection proposes a structure capable of adapting to these postures rather than correcting them.

Storet by Nanda Vigo x Acerbis
Playful and vibrant, the Storet chest of drawers embodies the magical and visionary touch of Nanda Vigo’s creations. Storet was selected as part of the installation “The Curated Core”, a project that interpreted design as a shared language and came to life within Plan C Framework, the concept store in the heart of Via Manzoni in Milan, where a selection of iconic Acerbis pieces entered into dialogue with the space and the project’s curatorial vision.

Elvira & Fortunato by Roberto Cicchinè x RIPA
The collection stems from the observation of two essential presences within the domestic space — the table and the chair of popular origin — and from the gestures that made them necessary: shuffling cards, peeling an apple, reading the newspaper, sitting, waiting, resting objects. The two furnishings condense this continuity of use into primary, essential forms free from decoration. Their proportions have been updated for today’s visual and technical comfort. The use of aluminum lightens the “weight” of tradition, resulting in agile, versatile, durable objects suited for both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Mother Dweller by Fenna Kosfeld
The Dwellers are mystical creatures that glow within their habitat. They move when spotted. They dance when energy flows. These specific Dwellers are luminous sculptures made from steel, charred cow bones, cotton, biopolymers, and charcoal. The name Dweller derives from the ecological concept of dwelling and suggests that every organism exists within some form of home — a network of relationships that provides both shelter and connection. It is not a static house, but a living environment.

Parata by Antoine Seguin
The Parata shelving system was designed to highlight Corsica’s woodworking industry. Initially intended to be made from chestnut wood — the most historically significant tree in Corsica — the lack of a dedicated industry led Antoine Seguin to choose local maritime pine instead, whose processing tradition is far more established. To ensure entirely local production, the hand-carved legs were crafted by the talented Cristiani carpentry workshop in Ajaccio.

Bienvenue by Campeggi
Bienvenue is a compact, portable box that opens with a simple gesture to reveal an inflatable mattress and a self-supporting foldable headboard. A temporary micro-architecture, a true room within a box, defining an intimate space and transforming hospitality into an act of care.

LE LABO 1.0 by Baguette Studio
The project rethinks the consumption of goods by making industrial processes transparent, local, and adaptable. At its core is a fully reshapeable lighting system made entirely from natural wax. The wax blend developed by Baguette Studio withstands temperatures up to 80°C before deforming, is biodegradable, and comes from renewable sources. Designed to be reshaped through local micro-production points, the lamp becomes an ever-evolving product, encouraging a more sustainable relationship with objects.

Brutalist Pink Vinyl Listening Station by Yont Studio
Originally conceived for a Berlin space somewhere between a record store and an immersive installation, this project completely shifts its design language. The listening station appears as a monolithic and compact volume with a strong sculptural presence, entirely rendered in pink. The turntable and audio system are integrated into a single element, conceived more as an autonomous presence than a simple piece of furniture. The object recalls the severe and massive aesthetic of brutalism while reinterpreting it through an intense, almost pop-inspired palette.

CREASE by Toogood x Meritalia
CREASE originates from a reflection on the relationship between form, upholstery, and structure, reinterpreting the language of upholstered furniture through soft, sculptural volumes marked by deep folds. Instead of beginning with a rigid structure to be upholstered, Faye Toogood developed the project through an inverted process: the upholstery itself generates the object’s form. The collection draws inspiration from two-dimensional nets, flat-pack furniture, and the simple act of folding paper. Sofas, armchairs, and chaise longues feature intentionally irregular fold lines emphasized by contrasting stitching, defining soft and undulating surfaces that feel almost spontaneous.

Marte by StudioNotte
Marte is a stainless steel floor candelabra presented by StudioNotte during Retreat. Part of a broader collection, the project reflects on the transition from day to night and the role of light within domestic spaces. Its essential geometries and the rigidity of steel contrast with the warm, flickering light of candles, creating an intimate and contemplative atmosphere. Subtle and sensual details soften the severity of the material, transforming the object into a sculptural presence capable of defining space through light and shadow.
