If you thought that flares were for people (decade not important), well I have news for you; Flares are for furniture too!

Designed by Marcel Wanders for Magis, Flare, is certainly appropriately named. Made from injection-moulded polycarbonate and polymeric covered MDF, the legs are actually fully customisable with either your own design or a choice of patterns by Marcel Wanders and Javier Mariscal.

Once again, the humble table has been given a new Flare of life by the magicians of Magis.

The Botanist series is the brainchild of Dario Antonioni and Brandon Lynne for Orange22, or perhaps more appropriately the brainchildren. Rarely is such a minimal design capable of producing so many offspring, each unique in their own right but working in harmony together, just like nature intended.
Each piece starts with a single piece of aluminum, which is precisely cut, bent, and faced with either a high impact powder coat or an epoxy coated real wood veneer.
With 3 basic shapes available, the End Table, Cocktail Table and Bench, and an array of colours, finishes and designs at your disposal, this simplistic  wonder  works alone or in unison with its peers, either indoors or out, whatever tickles your fancy. Phew, that’s versatility for you! Still not enough huh? Well why not shake your individuality stick more vigorously and submit your own design? Orange22 will etch out logos, patterns or type on to your Botanist piece(s).
So, individuality people, that’s what is says on the tin, or should that be what it says on the aluminium?

The Cell coffee table by Michael Malmborg takes its inspiration from the structure of the human cell. Apparently the thesis behind the design was so integral to the asthetics it was only sheer luck that the table had a functional aspect.

A combination of shiny steel and smooth wood, the Cell uses a unique cladding process that eliminates the need for any welding joints.

This is one cell that definitely isn’t in danger of turning malignant.
