‘NARINARI’ CHAIR

by Tiziano Guardini and Luigi Ciuffreda, for B&B Italia

Upholstered in raw-cut felt, this unusual armchair comes with a winged backrest inspired by the shape of a spotted eagle ray gliding through the sea and jumping out of the water. Its young Milan-based designers, Tiziano Guardini and Luigi Ciuffreda, have merged their experience in fashion and architectural design to create this origami-like seat with meticulous detailing and contrasting curves.

Cane and Able- Fusing traditional craftsmanship with contemporary vision, design studio Ibuku demonstrates the versatility of bamboo at a serene Bali villa

Over the last decade, Bali-based studio Ibuku, headed up by designer Elora Hardy, has become a leading expert in bamboo architecture, its output encompassing everything from a traditional Sumbanese house and a yoga and meditation space to playful treehouses and a riverside café at an eco-friendly jungle retreat in Ubud. In 2021, the studio completed The Arc sports hall at the Green School in Bali (founded by Elora's father, designer John Hardy). Made from a series of arches spanning an impressive 19m, it was a pioneering feat of bamboo engineering.
