Otherworldly, Moon System is designed by Zaha Hadid, world-famous architect, whose work has been exploring the complexity of curved geometry for several years. Moon System is a single shape which contains the back, the seating, and the armrests as if sculpted from a single block. It is best placed at the center of a room from where its fluid, expressive curves can be fully appreciated. The system is complete with footrest, whose shape perfectly integrates with the form of the sofa.

A lighthearted riff on flatpack furniture and architecture. The Avva Felt Breadbasket was designed exclusively for Teroforma by Josh Jakus a rising star in felt accessories for fashion and home. This clever container ships flat; then,
when two tabs are tucked into slots, easily transforms into a gracefully curved bread server. The thickness and friction of the felt surfaces keep the assembled version upright, even when the front is opened for access to the contents. It will hold four bagels or equivalent size breads. It can store flat or remain assembled and displayed as a decorative object. It is
made of 100% wool feltand available for Spring in soft white, spring green, deep brown and quiet grey, with an Autumn
palette to be offered later in the year.

This custom cremone housing was designed and developed exclusively for a renovation project in the northside of Chicago. The client required the period look of a traditional
cremone to operate a multi-point door. The custom patina finish was formulated to create a sense of aged brass. The product was developed and custom-made exclusively through Chicago Brass. Builders, Designers and Architects have the option to work with Chicago Brass staff to custom design hardware for their clients at a relatively reasonable cost.
