Milton Moon 'A Potter's Pilgrimage' Book Launch
New from Normann Copenhagen
'Plane' is a gorgeous, adventurous product fresh from Denmark. Designed by Ole Sondergaard, the plane can satisfy the sense of adventure from all ages. Made from lacquered wood with non-toxic black, red or blue paint and available in 3 sizes. This little product is a fantastic way to lift the energy in the room.
This beautiful cooking product designed by Mario Bellini and brought over from Italy is a design icon in itself. With a mirror-like 12/ 15 mm cooking plate made from top grade S355 steel and coating of hard chromium, the Onfalos cooks to perfection and looks stunning.
The Onfalos is equipped with two thermostatic controls that can maintain the ideal cooking temperature and control the heat-regulated burners. There are no naked flames and very little heat emissions as the burners are located inside and under the plate.
The plate is incredibly smooth and so the food does not burn or smoke. No added fats or oils are necessary. It is also extremely easy to clean which enhances the safety and hygiene of the product.

New Release for Fritz Hansen
Fritz Hansen has just released a new chair by Japanese designer Hiromicho Konno. The RIN chair was designed in 2008 for dining, conferences and private homes and is Hiromicho Konno's first collaboration with Fritz Hansen. The idea was to create a chair that was in harmony with Japanese and Danish design traditions, with RIN in Japanese meaning 'an appearance that is stunning, elegant and courageous'.
"I wanted to make a beautiful chair that can stimulate and awaken emotions in people. It must appeal visually, but also make us feel a form of elegance when we sit in it". Hiromicho Konno
The RIN chair is manufactured from a moulded polypropylene seat shell in black or white with a polished steel pedestal and 4 star polished aluminium base. Injected moulded, black, TPE glides are mounted to the underside of the 4 star base and a polyurethane seat cushion can be upholstered in either fabric or leather.
