Spanish architect and designer, Patricia Urquiola has done it again with her Frilly Chair for Kartell. Urquiola’s fans now watch her in her adopted home and workplace: Milan. The city is known for decades of shapely, colorful modern furniture. and the Frilly Chair is no exception. Urquiola’s indoor/outdoor line boasts eight bold colors with “crystal clear” promising to fit into any color palette! Stack them five high or line them up – the chairs’ asymmetrical lines will add depth, color and glowing shadows to any space.

Passage for Peace

Reach out and touch someone with gestural interconnectivity! San Francisco’s Knoend and Pocobor make this happen through a wireless sculpture called ‘Passage for Peace’ – yet another outstanding exhibit at Milan’s Salone Satellite 2009.

Placed in two cities, the glass and metal columns allow people to “physically see, hear, and feel someone else across the world,” says Ivy Chuang of Knoend.

Each column is set to play a specific octave and when harmonious chords play, light moves through all 12 columns – in both cities!

Giorgio Biscaro's Metamerick Table

Another gem from the Salone Satellite 2009 – the coveted space for young talent at the Milan Design Week. Giorgio Biscaro’s Metamerick Table is the ultimate customizable dining table.  The design’s bold geometry and color combinations make the table extraordinary. Its modularity takes it a step further. You choose: straight or bendy!  Rumor has it, we may find this trapezoidal masterpiece available soon in colorful, recycled finishes. See more of his work here.
