Paris-based designer Pierre-François Dubois created Marius side table. The curves of the new design recall the shape of a ship’s hull while the pattern of the doors alludes to it’s sails. Marius is available in 3 colors: natural oak, light grey and petrol blue. Its body comes MDF and oak veneer with matt finish while the legs are in solid oak.

Whether you need a sideboard, a large or a small bookcase, Edgar will be your man. Created by Mark Braun, the stackable modular shelf unit features distinctively coloured dividers. “They guarantee stability, serve as a bookend or highlight special books or magazines displayed in front of it. Yet best of all: you can also hide your private objects behind it” suggests the German designer.

Monsieur and Madame Noyer by French designer Florence Watine are modular storage units with painted drawers. Gaston Noyer wall desk secretary hangs on the wall and can be used as a shelf, a console or a secretary desk.
