A vanity table optimised for selfies was among the objects presented at Salone Satellite by Singaporean designer Olivia Lee. It formed part of a collection aiming to solve some of the problems created by the presence of new technologies in our homes.

Designer Britt Bonnesen paired pink with dark green for this long narrow rug for Danish brand Normann Copenhagen, although it also comes in other colour combinations. The rug is made from bamboo silk, which creates the glossy texture.
Pocket by Stone Designs for Blå Station
This chair created by Stone Designs for Swedish furniture company Blå Station features an extra compartment to keep restaurants, bars and hotel lobbies free of clutter. It features a scoop-shaped shell, sitting on four steel legs.
