L.Ercolani Reprise Designed by Danish studio Norm Architects, the Reprise chair draws on L.Ercolani’s longstanding legacy as craftsmen and purveyors of fine design, bringing together Lucian Ercolani’s traditional woodturning and steam-bending techniques. With roots dating back to 1944, the chair’s seamless silhouette is achieved by steam-bending a single piece of timber to create a sinuous, uninterrupted line that stretches all the way around the backrest. Offered in both walnut timber and solid ash – the latter variation is also available in nine bespoke finishes, including a soothing natural hue and the brand’s new Modern Tones series – the collection comes with either a webbed, hide or upholstered seat. www.lercolani.com

Chelsom Edition 27 Forming part of Chelsom’s Edition 27 collection – set to be presented for the very first time at HIX – the Hybrid range of wall, floor and table lamps centres around an overscaled cylindrical head, which creates ambient light through a top dome in matte opal glass and a directional task light below.
