Icon-Icon Opinion :
An iconic piece of Danish design- the Mayor Sofa distills the vision of Arne Jacobsen’’s first, perhaps more confidential, designs. This is a work of design based on the Danish tradition of mixing precious woods and functional solutions…
Name of the product : Mayor Sofa
Designer : Arne Jacobsen
Description : The Mayor sofa harks back to Arne Jacobsen’s early days, when he had not created his most famous works but was already experimenting with new forms. While the Egg or the Swan armchair mark the height of Scandinavian modernism in the 1950s, the Mayor sofa harks back to the Danish woodworking tradition and the early influences of German functionalism.

Probably the most famous and most produced tubular steel seat in the history of furniture! A chair that has become the figurehead of the Bauhaus aesthetic, now looks chic in every interior.
Name of the product : S 32Designer : Marcel Breuer
Description : The S 32 cantilever chair and the S 64 variant with armrests are undoubtedly the best-known tubular steel classics. Their popularity comes from the successful combination of new and old with, on the one hand, Thonet’s tradition as a manufacturer of bentwood furniture stretched with typical Viennese cane and, on the other, the revolutionary use of tubular steel.
