Here are just some of the highlights to look out for:
No Early Birds/Per Soderberg
No Early Birds is a timeless design collection designed and produced by Per Söderberg.
The collection uses a limited set of parts to create a full range of products (pictured above). The powder coated metal cross-leg is the main feature of the No Early Birds collection - architectural in its appearance it almost carries the other structures on its shoulders.
Thoughtful detail and easy assembly have been applied to the collection. The metal joins are functional, visible and elegant. The collection is entirely made in Sweden using quality material and eco-friendly production. The full furniture collection will be exhibited in Milan alongside a new home accessories range including a candelabra and solid brass dishes.
