Many of Emo's projects are ultra-modern and hewn predominantly from glossy plastics and metals. The Italian, industrial design consultancy often works in sports equipment, electronics and modern furnishings. Their recent design project, Hug, shown at the Salone del Mobile, finds an interesting middle ground—the form is smooth and modern but with a distinct sense of craftsmanship created through the uneven and hand-sawed surfaces.

As Molinelli Charly points out, relatively few individuals ever get to drive a Ferrari, even once. The Portland-based multidisciplinary creator and graphic designer says "That’s a fact. A worse fact is that some of the Ferraris on the market today are being crashed and destroyed. That’s hard to imagine for us normal people, but it seems that the ex-owners aren’t as impressed as we are."

The rev-->table was created by the MIT team Supermechanical to bring back some old traditions in a modern way. The solid oak top meets with sturdy, powder-coated steel legs to create a durable and high-quality piece of handiwork, manufactured in the US. And, with the addition of an etched aluminum barcode, the table gets a little smarter.

ContemporaryLab and Anthony Hartley teamed up to offer Anthony's colorful and modern edna 1 and 3. The UK-based furniture maker creates custom-made bespoke pieces, authenticated and registered to the owner, each with its own unique color sequence—its DNA.

Each oak cabinet includes multicolored laminated ply drawers, hand sprayed and lacquered to a high gloss finish.
