Float sofa
This is the Float Sofa that was designed by Karim Rashid for
Spanish furniture manufacturer SANCAL. The piece was
presented at Salone del Mobile 2012. Its design is also simple but
far from ordinary, just like all the designers creations. The sofa is
composed of a series of rounded and colorful elements with soft
shapes and these elements intersect and create a harmonious
composition.
Unplanned Brutalism
Gehrys first significant brush with fame came with the 1978 construction of a
Santa Monica residence he designed for himself and his family. The project
wrapped an existing bungalow in angular volumes clad in a riot of everyday
suburban materials like plywood and chain link. As opinionated as it was
sculptural, the house earned both cheers and jeers in short order. In 2012 it
won the American Institute of Architects prestigious Twenty-Five Year
Award.

Sofa made up of different components assembled together using joints. Supporting frame
composed of plywood and beech wood frames equipped with belts. Padding in polyurethane foam
and polyester wadding. All covers are in a special fabric: a weaving technique is used to produce
14,000 warp and weft stitches, generating extremely high definition images. The threedimensional
nature of the designs is achieved thanks to a larger yarn, weaved together with the numerous
coloured yarns.

In celebration of the feeding the planet
theme of the Milan Worlds Fair Expo 2015,
George Beylerian curated the De Gustibus
Collection, an assortment of diningrelated objects by the best Italian
designers of the past 50 years. The
collections name is a nod toward the
Latin maxim De gustibus non est
disputandum, which means, In matters of
taste, there can be no disputes. If
something feels familiar about these
Squared Circle Bowls (1958), the reason is
probably that they were inspired by
streetlights Ettore Sottsass saw on his first
visit to New York. Dishwasher safe. Made in
China.
