Call us warped, but we’ve always liked designs
that give the material world a bit of a twist, such
as Armani/Casa’s ‘Morfeo’ bed, which integrates
headboard, base and footboard in a continuous
form that appears to float. Upholstered in synthetic
chinchilla by the Massachusetts-based faux leather
manufacturer Majilite, it’s framed in a dark oak
veneer. An equally twisted imagination is at work
over at Molteni & C, where Israeli designer
Ron Gilad’s faceted ‘Teorema’ chest of drawers,
made from American walnut, can be stacked in
a linear or spiralling configuration. ∂
