The “Furni Meet BigChief” is a freely downloadable cardboard cutout that you can “glue, cut and paste” into a 3-D little toy guaranteed to make you the freshest kid in the office/world. Conceived as a way for two emerging design companies to give a little back to the community that supports them, this collaboration between Milan design company Bigchief Design and Montreal-based Furni is definitely going to help you kill some time in your cubicle. Launched a few short days ago and limited to 5,000 downloads, the BigChief has already been sighted around the internet so stop chatting around the water cooler and go get yours here.

On the last day of the fair, I doubled back to the Zona Tortona to see “reCollections,” an exhibition...
The Pyramids of Makkum
For years, Royal Tichelaar Makkum, the Netherlands' longest extant company, has quietly mounted the most impressive displays of ceramic ware during the Milan Furniture Fair and this year is no exception. Two years ago, they released a hugely successful collection of biscuit ware with Studio Job; last year they launched a unique office collection with Dick van Hoff, which turned the ornamental into the...
