UK furniture maker Benchmark, founded by Terrance Conran and Sean Sutcliffe, has unveiled the AYA collection of furniture. The range includes a Dining Table, a Conference Table, a High Collaboration Table and Stools, all designed by Foster + Partners Industrial Design Team. The AYA collection is made from FSC British-grown ash, which is currently being felled and discarded due to ash die-back. The pieces have been designed such that they can be disassembled for repair and finished with oil for ease of maintenance. Photo of AYA High Collaboration Table and Stools by Petr Krejci. Benchmark

Foster + Partners has launched XYZ, a flexible office system, in collaboration with Italian furniture manufacturer UniFor. The modular system comprises a shelving unit X, a lightweight conference table Y and a sit/stand desk Z, of which X and Y are on display at Salon del Mobile in Milan. The X-shaped timber or aluminium posts, with spring loaded ceiling supports, form the primary structure of the shelving unit X. The Y-shaped legs of the Y table can be used to link table tops and the Z desk has a patented mechanism that allows intuitive adjustment by pulling the table up or pushing it down. Photo © Unifor.
