REISSUES

Updated design classics that

make us sit up and take notice

We were thrilled to see the return this year of Eero

Aarnio’s ‘Bubble’ chair, 50 years after it first launched.

Now made to order by Aarnio Originals, it’s the

ultimate escape pod. Cappellini has also reimagined

the iconic ‘Tube’ lounger, designed by Joe Colombo

in 1969, in a new edition using a variety of materials

and vibrant colours. Cassina offers a new take on Mario

Bellini’s 1960s ‘MB1 Quartet’ belted armchair, revising

its proportions and upholstery, while Poul Kjærholm’s

‘PK1’ woven dining chair, designed in 1955 and reissued

by Carl Hansen & Søn, has had its proportions

tweaked to cater for today’s taller body frames. ∂
