+ Frag's Lyo seat by Gordon Guillaumier is a hammock-like chair made from a single piece of leather with a slit in the backrest that allows the leather to provide a bowl for the seat.

+ Arik Levy's Hoop sofa for Living has the look of a daybed in a basket-like framework. A mass of colourful cushions is set upon a tubular metal structure that lends airiness to the piece, which can be used indoors or out.

+ The sleek Galets series by Ludovic Renson features a low roto-molded table and stools that are chrome-painted with a bamboo insert on the surface. Cool, with just enough warmth.

+ The Lui5 armchair, designed by Philippe Bestenheider for Fratelli Boffi's new collection, is based on the classic Thonet chair. The update makes use of multiple forms that give the chair a futuristic look.
