Precious materials and craftsmanship are combined with refined aesthetics, resulting in exclusive pieces that combine style and personality.

MDW25: Via Mercato 3
The design of the BM0121 table (on cover) dates back to 1952 when Børge Mogensen presented it at the Arts and Crafts Spring Exhibition in Copenhagen as part of a series of furniture with a minimal aesthetic, specially designed for small homes, by Carl Hansen & Søn. Its extendability, together with its timeless aesthetic, has made it a classic.

Sahrai is a combination of the best traditional handmade Persian carpets. The hand-knotting requires a high level of skill and time, ensuring that no two rugs are ever completely identical. Elaheh showcases a splendid kaleidoscopic repetition of a traditional floral motif.

Noka by Ligne Roset, design Sebastiano Herkner

MDW25: MOHD Milano, Via Turati 3
The name Noka refers to the Japanese country house, whose floor is covered with tatami that provide an outdoor corridor connecting the home’s heart and exterior. The Noka sofa by Sebastiano Herkner for
Ligne Roset makes you feel at home and connects you with others. Like a stilt house, it emits stability while offering a new perspective. Inspired by this traditional architecture, the Noka sofa reflects a sense of balance and openness, much like the corridors that link different parts of a Japanese home. Its thoughtful design not only invites relaxation but also encourages social interaction, making it a perfect centerpiece for any living space. The modular nature of the Noka sofa allows you to create the “suspended space you need,” providing unparalleled versatility and adaptability to fit various lifestyles.
