Sitting in the Clouds

Pacha Lounge Chair and Grashoppa Floor Lamp and Pendant by Gubi
The first sketches that French designer Pierre Paulin (1927–2009) drew for what was to become the Pacha Collection were simple pencil outlines that resembled illustrative clouds. One of those sketches went on to become the Pacha Lounge Chair, which pioneered low-level living and a new way to sit when it was launched in 1975. Without the constraint of legs, it attested to the comfort and coziness of low-level living, capturing the spirit of the decade.

Made in Melbourne. Made by Hand.

Now, more than ever, it's important to support local and to choose Australian made.

Jasper Morrison

Known for thinking outside the box, Jasper Morrison is one of the most successful industrial designers of the past few decades. Together with his colleague Naoto Fukasawa, he defined the term 'super normal', which in his opinion answers the question of what 'good design' should really be. In his work, he strives to create good examples of understated, useful and responsible design. Morrison has developed several projects in collaboration with Vitra, including the APC, the Soft Modular Sofa and the HAL chair family.

Behind the Scenes at Herman Miller's Test Lab
Herman Miller's products are pushed to the limit—and then some—in their Michigan Test Lab, where you’ll find weighted bags dropped into the seat of a chair, casters spun for days on end, and machines that wouldn’t feel out of place in a repair shop. Herman Miller test their products beyond what the industry expects—or requires—because they want them to stand the test of time. WHY? It’s all about the warranty. Many of the products tested feature a 12-year warranty: 12 years, yes, but also for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
