Stacked like stone. Glowing like wax.

Hand-blown Murano glass, finished by hand with wax, stacked into a column of warm light. Wax, Stone, Light by Linde Freya Tangelder.

A central LED tube runs through the stack and lights the whole piece with a warm glow. It adds atmosphere to a living room, bedroom or office, and it holds its own as a sculpture when switched off.

Pierre Jeanneret created the Capitol Complex Office Chair for the administrative buildings of Chandigarh, the planned city he helped build with Le Corbusier. Solid teak and hand-woven cane, shaped for long days and built to last generations.

Cassina’s reissue (part of the I Maestri collection) keeps every proportion true to the original. A piece of modernist history that works just as well at a desk, a dining table, or in a quiet corner of your home.

Le Corbusier, reduced to its essentials.

The Applique de Marseille wall lamp by Nemo is a double-emission design: two opposing aluminium cones throw light both up and down. Le Corbusier originally designed it for his own Paris apartment, and it has been re-edited today in collaboration with the Le Corbusier Foundation.

It comes in matt black, matt grey or whitewash, each with a white internal diffuser. It suits a hallway, a bedside or a living room wall, and works as a sculptural object even when switched off.

A single line of steel, held in mid-air. ✦

The CH66 by Nicos Zographos was first drawn in 1966. It is back in 2026 as part of the Karakter x Cassina collection.

Zographos took the classic Bauhaus cantilever and gave it a double curve between seat and backrest. The result is a chair that looks almost suspended in space. Its slender tubular steel frame comes in chrome or black, and the saddle-leather seat and back are stretched over metal springs, so it has a little give and is comfortable to sit in.

It suits a dining table, a boardroom or a reading corner, or it can stand alone as a sculptural piece.

The Ficupala floor lamp by Cassina stands 138 cm tall. Its blown-glass body and diffuser glow softly, and the base is Marquinia marble, a dense black stone with natural veining. No two pieces are exactly alike.

Switched off, it works as a sculpture. Switched on, it fills the room with a warm, diffused light.

Available through True Design, the authorised South African distributor for Cassina. Come and see it in person at our De Waterkant showroom.

New from Cassina: Hotte by Philippe Starck. 🧺

Inspired by the gerla, the tall hand-woven basket carried on the shoulders of fruit harvesters, Hotte is a high-backed armchair with a matching pouf. Both are hand-woven in willow over a flexible rattan frame, with knotted details and vertical rattan inserts that show off the craftsmanship. Soft cushions in Voyage natural leather and contrast stitching add comfort and a touch of tailoring.

Rural tradition, made sculptural. Choose the armchair alone or pair it with the pouf for a lounge corner that feels both rooted and refined.

Discover at True Design, Cape Town or Johannesburg. Enquire for availability and lead times.

Not just a sofa. a seating ecosystem.

Gruuvelot by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso builds on the 1970s spirit of the gruuve sofa. Its organicvolumes and fuild forms seem to grow and adapt, as if the piece is still evoloving. Modular and endlessly configurable, it suits open -plan living as well as intimate lounge corners.

Designed by Garcia Cumini for Moroso, the Me-Time sofa is built around the idea of slow time and the quiet pleasure of staying. Soft, sculptural forms and generous, malleable upholstery turn it into an island of calm. it is almost bed-like, and entirely an invitation to switch off.

Modular and configurable, it adapts to way you lie, whether that's quiet corner or the centerpiece of the living space. Handcrafted in Italy by Moroso.

Rippled. Sculpted. Unapologetically bold.

The Peacock armchair by Dror (New York, 2009) is all sinuous folds of felt on an anthracite powder-coated metal frame. Its curves look like they're challenging gravity, and its attitude is spontaneous and irreverent. It's a statement piece for any space.

The new 2026 felt shades are red, indigo and pine green.

Mismatched legs. Perfectly balanced. 🌿

The Sengu table by Patricia Urquiola for Cassina draws on the layered materials of Japanese shrines. Marble, solid wood and sculptural supports come together in one almost architectural piece. It's made for conviviality, and the dining version can even come with a revolving ceramic Lazy Susan.

Round or oval tops, in marble or wood. Come and see it in person at True Design, De Waterkant.
