FLEXIBLE FRIEND

Small but packed with personality, the new ‘Allié’ by Luca Nichetto for French brand La Manufacture is a handy piece to have around. Both a stool and a side table, its expressive handles make for a shapely statement and allow it to be easily moved, plus it can be used in outdoor areas as well as inside – so you’re covered whatever the summer brings. Approx £552 (lamanufactureparis.fr).
