take a seat
Another day, another sleek new addition
to the Carl Hansen & Søn collection, this
time somewhat softer and more sculptural
than you might expect from the Danish
powerhouse. A relaunched Børge
Mogensen piece from 1949, you’ve got
form-pressed veneer to thank for the
curved backrest and sloping seat on the
aptly named Contour chair. Contour in
oak, from £1,518 (carlhansen.com/en)CRUSHING ON
Reform
This Danish brand had us at hello when it burst onto
the scene in 2014, launching design-led, price-conscious
cupboard fronts for Ikea kitchen units. Five years on and
the Ikea ‘hack’ has never looked so good: check out new
lines by David Thulstrup, Note Design Studio and Muller
Van Severen, whose Technicolor-style fronts (pictured) can
be mixed and matched to suit. From €106 for a 29x40cm
cover panel (reformcph.com/en)
THE HIGH-STREET HERO
factory setting
Swoon’s Engle range goes industrial, taking its cue
from urban construction and featuring sleek steel
frameworks. Yet it has a touch of luxe, too – clock
the slab of marble on the coffee table that can be
positioned here, there or somewhere in-between.
