The furniture details showcased in this collection glorify and celebrate that attention to detail and what gives furniture design its character, making it a must-have in your life!

Lozi Design used a supersized wave joint made from light solid ash and a variety of surface finishes to create the Wave Table.

Eco-friendly with a side of furniture details!

The Nabb chair By Studio Mattias Stenberg for Nola Industrier emphasizes its use of neutral colors with its powder-coated triangular ends that form the frame of the chair.

Dieter Rams says “Good design is thorough down to the last detail.” The BM0865 daybed by Børge Mogensen for Carl Hansen & Son is the perfect example of that!

Simple in its design, the beauty of this daybed lies in its attention to detail, with the curved edge sitting just inside the mattress, ensuring you never get accidental bumps while lounging on it!
