mæg INTERVIEWS WING ARMCHAIR Setsu Ito is a Japanese designer with an extensive work experience in architecture, interior, product and industrial design and packaging. After moving to Italy, he opened his design studio in 1995. Since 1997 he has been co-operating with Shinobu Ito, offering his skills and advice to international clients. The Japanese designers created for Zalf the new Dabliu-in, a bookcase that changes its appearance according to the position from which you look at it: frontally or sideways. For Désirée they designed the Wing armchair, which seems to be flying off thanks to its very high backrest. Furthermore they expanded the Dabliu range adding the new Dabliu-In tables. Finally, they created for Désirée the Shellon bed, featuring a soft headboard upholstered with a vertical quilt. INTERVIEW TO SETSU ITO The co-operation with Marc Sadler is still up and running. Marc is one of the most renowned architects and designers on the international scene, a true master with a longlasting, fruitful experience. This year he designed for Désirée the Savoye sofa, light and sober, featuring a type of padding that perfectly interacts with the aluminium structure and feet. For Zalf he created the new LZ bookcase, modern and versatile thanks to its modular components. WATCH THE VIDEO 13
