February 21, 2006 _fairs

More from the fairground. Magis presented the new aluminium stool Deja-Vu designed by japanese star designer Naoto Fukasawa. New entry is also the Table_One that completes the famous seating system Chair_One designed by Konstantin Grcic.
Italian company Plank presented for the second time the Miura stool by Konstantin Grcic, awarded with the Interior Innovation Award Imm Cologne 2006 in the Best Item category. In the picture also the Paper chair designed by Raul Barbieri in bent wood. I believe Plank's colour palette expresses at best the latest trends: black, red, dark brown, orange and acid green.
Fasem presented a new chair that combines both modern and classic design styles, a trend launched by Marcel Wanders last april at Milano that is slowly spreading around.
La Palma featured the Cox chair designed by Ostwald and Nolting along the rest of their collection. Although italian presence in the fair was numerous (all previous mentioned companies are italian) it was evident that big news will be showcased at Milan's Salone del Mobile next april.
Thonet presented the S 333 sleigh designed by Holger Lange. Even if it was completely curious to me it seems that the company has a long history in producing sleighs.
