The Pacha Lounge Chair was created with comfort in mind, with an organic shape that serves the body. Honest and functional, this Pierre Paulin design looks as contemporary today as when it was first produced in 1975. The same can be said for the Grasshopper Floor Lamp, designed in 1947 by Greta Grossman with inspiration from European Modernism. Both pieces are now manufactured by Gubi.
Lassen, Grossman, Paulin, Panton...whether it was breaking away from the Bauhaus, bringing European Modernism to America, or developing the unique styles of the 1960s and 70s; we credit the likes of these designers with shaping the look of today's contemporary furniture and lighting. We're fortunate enough to work with a number of manufacturers who keep their legacies alive, producing these iconic pieces with modern material and technology.
The Flowerpot Pendant from &tradition is an original Verner Panton design inspired by the psychedelic and colorful "Flower Power" movement of the 1960s. This iconic light is a simple standout.
Another design by Pierre Paulin, the Ribbon Chair is timelessly futuristic - even now, some 50 years after its creation.
The Marenco Sofa by Mario Marenco was designed in 1970 from a revolutionary vision. Each cushion and armrest is singularly padded and upholstered, and attached at the base to a tubular metal frame, guaranteeing a strong and resilient design. Produced by Arflex.
Characterized by its marble construction, the M Dining Table embraces a rounded profile for a sculptural design of the most exemplary proportions. This piece was designed by Angelo Mangiarotti, a great Italian architect whose works are honored throughout the AgapeCasa collection.
Initially designed by Viggo Boesen in 1938, the Little Petra Chair was reintroduced by &tradition last year. Its softer and more organic aesthetic challenged the minimalistic approach of Bauhaus, in a style known as funkis.
Designer Børge Mogensen strived to create durable and usable furniture that would enrich the user's everyday life. He accomplished this in The Spanish Chair, which was first shown in 1958 and created in collaboration with Fredericia Furniture.
A modular system with organic lines, the Osaka Sofa was designed by Pierre Paulin for the 1970 Osaka Expo. Now manufactured by La Cividina, users can combine and align the simple curved elements to create infinite seating solutions.
