LessLess is a complete range of tables, rectangular and square, painted in different colors. An aluminum table the strength of which lies in a play on corners and folds. The external outline of the horizontal table top is very thin and stiffness and it is obtained by bending the aluminum sheet along inclined planes. Designed by Jean Nouvel, originally for the Fondation Cartier in Paris, the LessLess tables is a result from his approach to design which comes from a need to create objects for his own architectures. Molteni & C

Lounge Seating designed by Charles Pollock for Bernhardt Design. Charles Pollock's designs were governed by two principles. Creatively, he favored a continuous curved line when sketching ideas and creating forms. The second principle was that any product must be visually attractive, functional, and affordable. In 2012, the 82-year-old Pollock introduced his first new product in America since the debut of his iconic Pollock Chair forty-seven years earlier. Pollock’s new collection CP Lounge was commissioned by Bernhardt Design.  Bernhard Design

The sofa provides comfort, privacy and flexibility but still keeps the simple aesthetic values that are well-known from the Danish Design tradition. All products are handcrafted and produced in Denmark. Aggestrup

Commissioned by Canteen for their group of restaurants. This design can be seen as an evolution of the once ubiquitous post-war Utility Chair, still a familiar sight in the UK today. Klaus & Carpenter managed to reduce the chair to three main components. The powder-coated frame is made from one continuous piece of bent tube. Hidden fixings join it neatly to the plywood seat and back. Along the way they subtly updated the look of the classic archetype. The result is light weight, stackable and versatile: the Canteen Utility Chair. 2009. VG&P

Certain things become so strongly associated with an era that they become timeless. This is certainly true of Nils Strinning’s shelf system, string®, which was designed in 1949. It may seem strange that something as simple and humble as this little dainty light shelf with its thin side panels has become one of the twentieth century’s foremost design icons.  String.

Wegner designed the Wishbone chair for Carl Hansen & Søn in 1949 and it has been in continuous production since 1950. Despite the chair's straightforward appearance it takes more than 100 steps to make one and the hand woven seat consists of more than 120 meters of paper cord. Carl Hansen opened his furniture workshop in Odense, Denmark in 1908 and still manufacture in a modern factory just outside Odense. Carl Hansen

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe was selected to design the German Pavilion for the 1929 International Exposition in Barcelona. Inside, Mies included chairs and stools for the King and Queen of Spain.
