Nautica chair – Expormim
Family-owned furniture company Expormim, headquartered in Valencia, places as much value on its contemporary designs as it does on its sustainability practices.

Blow sofa – Vondom
Architect and designer Stefano Giovannoni’s collection for Vondom, Blow, makes use of a recyclable polyethylene resin by rotational moulding to create inflated-looking furniture that bears resemblance to a blown-up cushion.
