The new catalogues for the 2009 B&B Italia – Pab/Athos and Flat C. systems have just printed but you can see them now and save a tree or two by visiting their site.

We have new examples of the Flat C. on the way and our Pab units look fantastic in the 97 Water showroom.
My favourite feature – the large sliding glass doors, they move seamlessly across the wall
Earlier this week, we received our first set of the 360° Stools from MAGIS and I instantly fell in love with the piece.
When images of this product first emerged, I was unclear as to its functionality and aesthetics (it took a minute to understand how to sit in it). After I unpacked it and tried it out, it was apparent that great thought was put into how people move in and around work surfaces. The simple block seat keeps you upright and focussed which allows you to perch, ponder, sit and work. The single arm provides the perfect amount of extra support which can be positioned on either side. The user is then free to move with out being locked into a specific position.
The ideas behind this chair are reminiscent of a discussion I had with an RMT friend of mine. “What is the best position for your body while working?” His response “Your body does not want to be in any position for a long time, the best thing you can do for it is to move and use it”. With the 360° Stool you will be all over your work and your body will be much happier too.
Come in and try out the 360° Series for yourself and see if it is the working system that you have been looking for.

It has been a long time coming but the Herman Miller Eames Dowel Base is finally here!
Originally constructed of fibreglass and one of the most popular chairs of all time, Herman Miller introduced a selection of these chairs in 2001 and increased the selection in 2005 as part of their ‘Get Real’ campaign. The first chairs were designed for the International Competition for Low-Cost Furniture organized by the New York Museum of Modern Art in 1948. Beautifully finished and elegantly formed, these chairs are available in 5 colours.
Italian manufcacturer POLIFORM has put together a beautiful concept space based around the idea of small living. With more and more people in the world and less space to accommodate them, designers are having to come up with a number of creative ways to utilize space efficiently.
All the furniture, wall systems, and closets in the apartment are produced by Poliform.
I especially like the SKETCH hanging bookcase by Roberto Barbieri, feels a bit like organized chaos.

Inform Interiors showcases many products by Poliform (with a fantastic display of their walk in closets), visit us in store to learn more and work with our staff to design a unit that is perfect for your space.

I was browsing the internet the other day for some images for a project we are working on at the store and came across a post on Highsnobiety.com.
This project was brought together by a former Inform Interiors employee. The artist SheOne painted his work onto the Plate table by Bensen and Anna chairs by Crassevig. We displayed the works at Inform along with a few other pieces by the artist to great review.
I wonder where these are now? Update!!
These pieces are currently available at the AYDEN GALLERY in Vancouver.
