The Design Story
As nothing in the market integrated with her modern ad contemporary interiors, Australian architect Sally Dominguez set out to design baby furniture that did not compromise the aesthetics of living space.
Sally designed NEST® to incorporate a pedestal base which in compliments the organic shape of the seat and tray, adding up to a minimalist design. The scooped chair and sloped back gently restricts movement by cupping the child into a “racing car position”.
In practical terms it was important that NEST® was compact and stable to meet safety standards. Only durable materials were considered for the production of the chair. The base is made of heavy duty powder coated steel and the seat is made of UV stabilised polyethylene. The form and materials of NEST® make the chair simple to wipe clean.
An important consideration was that NEST® would last children beyond their toddler years. As such NEST® can be easily converted to NESTER a cool low lounging chair that will suit children up to 6 years of age.
NEST® was awarded the prestigious Australian Design Mark for innovative and safe design and has been featured in The Times, The Daily Telegraph, Sunday Times, Evening Standard, South China Morning Post, Junior Magazine, Dwell, Metropolitan Home, Living etc and continues to be featured in leading publications worldwide.

by Ariston Anderson You'll be sure to make a splash of a dinner party when guests sit down on one of Amy Lau's limited edition Dexter dining room chairs. Inspired by the Showtime serial killer show, the chairs are made from white lacquered wood and upholstered in white ultraleather (i.e. vinyl). But what makes these chairs truly unusual are the hand-embroidered blood designs by Leah...
Known for their superior quality leather goods and elegant designs, luxury handbag pioneer Delvaux reached another level of sophistication by asking Belgian industrial designer Stefan Schöning to recreate his "Folder Chair" using Delvaux's black Taurillon leather.

For a chair prototype called the Conolounge, Chilean designers Onceneto tapped La Tercera newspaper for leftover paper printer rolls. A steel support provides structure and adds a fetching bright green accent.
