FURNITURE PAIMIO ARMCHAIR Vitra Designed by world-renowned Finnish architect and designer, Alvar Aalto, this armchair dates back to 1932, and is now manufactured by Vitra, the suppliers of contemporary and classic furniture for homes, offices and public spaces. The armrests of the chair are made from natural lacquered birch while the seat boasts bent birch plywood. The chair can be personalised to suit its surroundings with two standard colour options — lacquered white and lacquered black.

APP iRHINO 3D Robert McNeel & Associates MATERIALS EUROLIGHT Egger The Egger Eurolight is a composite board made from extremely strong 8mm Eurospan chipboard, combined with a light, yet robust cardboard honeycomb core. Keeping sustainability in mind, Eurolight is made using quality residual wood from local sawmills as well as recycled wood. Another key feature is that the product is fully recyclable and can be reused at the end of its lifecycle. It can be used on a wide range of applications including kitchens, living rooms, offices and many other spaces. The product is supplied by 4K Building Materials.

Available on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, iRhino 3D allows one to see designs in three-dimensions. It includes features such as panning, zooming and rotating with a tap or drag of a finger. The handy navigator allows one to scroll through thumbnails, enabling fast jumps to the model of preference. You can even capture views for markup and emailing, which can be done directly from your device.
