Cosy Curves
“My intention was to design a wooden chair so comfortable that it wouldn’t need upholstery,” says celebrated British designer Jasper Morrison of the solid wood Fufu chair he designed in 2020 for Maruni.
He expanded the collection to include a dining table last year. One of the highlights of this year’s Maruni presentation in Milan, it features an oval top and smooth rounded edges that feel good to the touch.
The Maruni Fugu dining table retails for $6,850 from Atomi, www.atomi.shop.
Quench That Thirst
Is it hot in here? Nespresso’s new summer campaign embraces the heat with a gorgeous limited edition tropical leaf print on its coffee mugs, a motif that pays tribute to Brazil’s vibrancy.
