055 PREVIOUS PAGE_ Eames Plastic Armchair L AR

Instantly recognisable as the work of designers Charles and Ray
Eames, this low-slung seat was created in 1950, but finally has a
Vitra reissue. The Lounge Height Armchair Rod Base (LAR) chair,
shown here in Sea Blue, has a cat’s cradle-style stainless-steel
base for maximum support with minimal materials. £435 vitra.com

HOODIE HIDEAWAY_ Deep Sleep Cocoon by Vollebak

Designed to help people sleep in the most inhospitable places – namely, any
long-haul fight – the Deep Sleep Cocoon is a duvet-soft jacket that shuts
out the world with a lined hood that folds over on itself. Its almost pitch-
black chamber blocks light and softens noise – while also providing the
ultimate visual shorthand for “do not disturb”. £800 vollebak.com
