At just a glance, the Elogio Sofa conjures a world of possibilities as connections construct themselves: lounging on a five-piece sectional with a large group; sitting quietly with a partner on a two-seater for intimate conversation; and gazing out a window from the chaise with a steamy mug in hand. Originally designed in 1974 by Afra and Tobia Scarpa as an evolution of their Erasmo sofa, this collection invites softness within the architectural structure, creating a sense of warmth in any configuration.

"We're no longer just designing workplaces, we're actually designing experiences," said Yuen, at the Fortune Brainstorm Design forum in Macau on Dec. 2. "You've really got to make the campus or the workplace more than work, and that's the fun part of it."

The PLA project is built around a simple but brilliant idea: what if you could customize your chair the same way you'd snap together building blocks? At the heart of each design is a spherical connector module that acts like a universal joint, letting you attach different seat backs, legs, and structural elements to create wildly different chair styles. It's furniture that refuses to be just one thing, and in our era of tiny apartments and ever-changing aesthetics, that flexibility feels genuinely exciting.

If you've been following Westman on Instagram (and you really should be), you've probably already fallen for his signature aesthetic: chunky, glossy objects in candy-bright colors that somehow manage to feel both nostalgic and completely modern. Think rounded edges, inflated geometry, and a sense of humor that most furniture seriously lacks. The Puzzle Shelf fits right into this universe while marking something new for the designer. It's his first venture into modular shelving, and it's exactly as delightful as you'd expect.

With Puzzle Shelf, Gustaf Westman continues expanding his soft-edged, hyper-saturated world, this time through a system that assembles like an exaggerated childhood toy. The stackable storage system is made up of glossy, bone-shaped blocks that lock into one another like a giant jigsaw, forming shelving, benches, tables, or sculptural stacks depending on how users configure them. The candy-pink, cherry-red, grass-green, icy-blue, and cream elements feel almost animated, compressing Westman's instantly recognizable visual language into a single, modular kit.

Eduba, developed by Roie Avni, is an adaptive classroom furniture system that challenges the static nature of traditional learning spaces. Designed to make classrooms more flexible, dynamic, and student-centered, it allows quick and intuitive changes in layout and posture, enabling a fluid learning experience that evolves throughout the day. The system includes a and a , both designed for versatility and ease of use. Each piece can be connected, detached, or flipped to create different configurations.

The Neptune 4-in-1 Ottoman is part of Cozey's modular Neptune line, designed to coordinate with the Neptune Sectional but just as handy on its own. It measures 39 inches wide, 39 inches deep, and 17 inches high. The ottoman is available in eight colors, including versatile neutrals like Latte, Snowdrift, Fog, Basalt, and Limestone, as well as bolder shades such as Slate, Mocha, and Leaf. You can also get select colors in a performance fabric or aquaforte, the brand's water- and stain-resistant option. It features a flip-top lid that opens to a hidden storage compartment, so it's just as functional as it is stylish.

What makes the Same Same twin chairs by A204 particularly compelling is how they challenge this limitation entirely. These minimalist wooden chairs function beautifully as standalone seating with built-in storage, but their real potential emerges when paired together, unlocking playful possibilities for interaction, configuration, and use that transform them from simple furniture into a creative toolkit. Designer: A204 The design language speaks to Scandinavian minimalism with its pale plywood construction and clean, geometric lines.

Same Same by design studio A204 consists of a pair of twin chairs conceived as both independent and combinable elements. Individually, each functions as a minimalist seat with an integrated storage space beneath the surface. This compartment can be used temporarily for magazines or small items, or fitted with a standard-sized Euro container for more permanent storage. When paired, the chairs can be reconfigured into alternative furniture forms such as a side with drawers or a tall shelving unit.

Inspired by the trusty applebox, the CMPT by Lichen distills the film set essential into a modular storage box system. Like its predecessor, it's designed for versatility. It seamlessly shifts from seat to side table to storage, making the most out of small spaces while taking up a small footprint itself. Lichen preserves the sense of utility but elevates it through craftsmanship and materiality, using beautifully milled pure chestnut wood.

The Amanta Sofa, now produced by HAY about 60 years later, marks the first Italian reissue for the brand - along with a materiality refresh, the colors are just right for 2025. "From the beginning, Mette and I insisted that HAY should be an international brand, not just Danish," says HAY cofounder Rolf Hay. "The Italian design of this period has had a huge impact on the way we look at design today."

The Neptune three-piece sectional is $1,795, but adding an ottoman is an extra $260. You can also add a headrest to each back piece at $105 each. Cozey also offers a full-size sleep kit, which includes a topper, fitted sheet, flat sheet, two pillows and pillowcases, and comforter for $270. My selection included a three-piece set with an ottoman and a sleep kit, totaling $2,325. You can finance this purchase with Affirm, which has an annual APR of 0-32%, subject to provincial limitations.

Each piece is made from premium Baltic birch, which brings that beautiful fine grain and rock-solid stability you can actually feel when you touch it. The natural knots and imperfections aren't hidden away either; they're celebrated as proof this stuff came from actual trees. Elements Studio crafts these pieces in small batches with regional artisans, which means every unit gets proper attention instead of rolling off some anonymous assembly line.

The genius of Atmus lies in its dual-function design. When closed, it blends seamlessly into the environment as a sleek, writable glassboard with a modern aesthetic.

The Tate modular seating system by Here Now is designed for wellness, offering flexibility, comfort, and added privacy to adapt to modern working and social environments.
