Among the year’s most curvaceous products were
Stéphane Parmentier’s ‘Scala’ tables and sideboard,
which used leather and lacquered wood to create a
ribbed effect with more than a touch of the Michelin
Man about it, and Venetian studio Zaven’s 3D tiles,
with convex and concave ribs inspired by legendary
Italian ceramicist Nino Caruso. Not to be out-ribbed,
textile maker Nya Nordiska has reinvented classic
corduroy in a range of cool contemporary colours. ∂
