A true cult item in the field of lighting: the Arco floor lamp designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for Flos in 1962. Its frame is meant to hint to the shape of a lamppost, a slender element, with a marble base, that illuminates the area underneath it with its beam of light. A lamp with this design is perfect to light up the lounge or reading area in the living room \u2013 a sofa, an armchair \u2013 or the dining room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eames Plastic Side Chair, Charles and Ray Eames, 1959, Vitra<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Many on the market have tried to mimic it, but the Eames Plastic Chair is a truly unique design piece made by Vitra since 1950, the year the interior designer duo Charles & Ray Eames presented it in at the New York Museum of Modern Art. There are many versions now, made with different materials, such as the sofa and rocking chair, which still retain the same iconic ergonomic structure. Another brainchild of the Eames\u2019 creative genius is the Lounge Chair: with its footrest, it is a style icon combining design, comfort and quality materials thanks to its leather padding paired with the wooden frame on an aluminium base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n LC4, Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand, 1929, Cassina<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n LC4 is the chaise longue par excellence and the result of the creativity of three great designers: Le Corbusier, Pierre Jeanneret and Charlotte Perriand.

Indeed, the Tulip table, designed in 1956, was created precisely with the aim of making the dining room cleaner and tidier, eliminating the \u2018tangle\u2019 of table and chair legs.
