TOP 5: Everyday essentials – the most inspiring new products of the month

New Works’ Tana desk table is a compact, wall-mounted workstation that brings an airy sense of harmony to any interior.

As summer fades and regular routines sneak back onto the calendar, who says daily life has to be dull? Our latest arrivals make day-to-day chores a little more cheerful, adding just the right dose of style and joy to your everyday life.

Space to focus

Daily life comes with its fair share of to-dos, from endless meetings and work projects to essays and homework. Luckily, New Works' new Tana desk turns daily tasks into something you might actually look forward to!

The wall-mounted desk frees up floor space while giving you just the right amount of room to focus. Made from wood veneer, it features a handy drawer for all your essentials and a tabletop roomy enough for a lamp, a pile of books, or that one decorative object that always makes you smile.

Ishinomaki Laboratory’s AA stool is a versatile and adaptable seat for all kinds of sitting.

Endless options for sitting

The AA stool by Ishinomaki Laboratory is a small seat with big ideas. Each wooden stool is built from two A-shaped pieces that can stand alone, lock together to form a wider seat, or line up neatly as a slim bench or a pared-down side table.

Designed to adapt to whatever life brings, the AA stool is a natural fit for small spaces or as an extra seat when unexpected guests drop by. The stool is crafted from Japanese hardwood with distinctive grain patterns and finished with a protective laminate surface that resists stains and knocks.

This floor lamp also keeps your bags, hats, and coats neatly in place.

This darling does it all

Our new brand, Swedish Ninja, brings a clever companion to darkening evenings: the Big Darling floor lamp that delights in more ways than just one. Not only does the luminaire cast a warm glow, but it also doubles as a handy coat rack for bags, hats, coats, scarves, and other accessories. With its colorful design and playful silhouette inspired by classic streetlights, Big Darling adds a cheerful touch of style to any room.

The Colour Crates are characterized by functional design, industrial aesthetics, and a wide range of delicious colors.
