WEYLANDTS
Full of vintage, East-meets-West appeal, the ‘Wing Chair’ embodies Weylandts’ commitment to quality. Handcrafted and woven with natural fibres in Cebu in the Philippines, the chair is as much a practical piece as it is a unique work of art. Visit weylandts.com.au.
VOLA
This ‘060’ showerhead looks a bit like a 1950s-style sun or starburst motif… then the ‘rain’ falls down on you in perfect, powerful streams.

ANGELUCCI 20THCENTURY
Based on an iconic 1930s design, the Angelucci 20th Century butterf ly chair is a thing of beauty and sigh-releasing comfort.

FANULI
Conceived by the renowned French designer Patrick Norguet, Fanuli’s ‘Colander’ dining chair is summer-furniture perfection. Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the stackable chair has a polypropylene plastic seat and back supported by a die-cast aluminium frame, making it easy to lift. And if it’s out in the rain, its colander-inspired pattern of holes lets water drain from the seat. Find out more at fanuli.com.au.
