Teenagers from Mars Blanket

Davide Carbone — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 12:18:57 +0000

Graphic jacquard in virgin wool/cashmere—warmth you can see.

Designed for raawii by illustrator Olimpia Zagnoli, Teenagers from Mars is produced in a 100-year-old Florentine mill from double-faced jacquard. The verdict: Clear, reversible images that have a crispness despite their soft hand and subtle drape.

You feel the balance instantly — light enough to drag around your shoulders, substantial enough for sofa or end of the bed. Fringed ends make for a no-nonsense finish. The wool-cashmere blend offers instant warmth and breathes so it’s a year-rounder.

Care is simple: dry clean as needed, remove the occasional pill with a fabric shaver and shake out and air between uses. It’s susceptible to snags (watch out for zippers or rivets) and can be slippery against skin, but many find its breathability a fair trade off. Choose a colorway and let the pattern speak.

Pipeline Solo Shelf

A flat perch with a rolled cubby—display on top, stash underneath.

Turns out two basic elements — a sheet and a tube — can be combined in surprising ways: Designed by Nicholai Wiig-Hansen for raawii’s Pipeline series, the Solo Shelf is a small wall sculpture that actually works. The rounded head won’t snag a thing; the cylindrical base contains what normally covers a surface (book, glasses, charger, remote).

Hang it by your bed as a nightstand, in the entry for keys and mail or behind your desk for notebooks and cables. Powder-coated metal stands up to daily life, and the bright colors read well against light and dark walls. It comes with hardware for an easy and secure install.

Arba Upholstered Ottoman

Davide Carbone — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 11:44:47 +0000

The Arba Ottoman is exactly what it looks like: a molded-plywood seat on a cross of bent metal, anchored by a die-cast aluminum base. Sit down and you’ll feel the front edge catch the backs of your legs just right. There’s a little give from the plywood, a clean swivel in the base, and a silhouette that stays light instead of bulky.

It’s easy to live with, too. The ottoman arrives flat-packed and goes together in a few minutes—no mystery parts, no fuss. Park it with the matching lounge chair or pull it over as an extra perch when friends show up. Simple shape, honest materials, and the kind of comfort you don’t have to think about.

Is it possible to knock together the Arba Ottoman with no trouble through flat-pack? Yup — it ships in a small box and is quick to set up with just a couple of easy moves. It resembles the architectural transparency aspect of Arba Lounge Chair and is designed by Erwan Bouroullec in 2024. A pair of molded plywood supports nestle into a bent-metal frame and die-cast aluminum swivel base to offer a slim, minimal perch for the feet. The exposed sheet-metal profile allows for a soft flex, and the plywood top is shaped for comfort. Humble and stripped bare, the piece retains all of the purity of an experimental prototype but feels resolved as an industrial product. A quiet architectural presence on its own, or paired with the chair, the Arba Ottoman provides great utility that only grows more satisfying through use and fits seamlessly in modern living spaces.

Arba Upholstered Lounge Chair

Designed by Erwan Bouroullec in 2024, the Arba Upholstered Lounge Chair introduces comfort to the original chair’s clear, structural form. Two molded plywood shells create the seat and back, connected by a bent-metal spine and anchored by a die-cast aluminum swivel base. Upholstery in premium wool or leather softens the contours without obscuring the design’s precision. The central sheet-metal spine adds a subtle flex and movement, while the proportions remain visually light and balanced. Honest in construction and refined in feel, the upholstered Arba brings warmth to its industrial core—a modern chair equally at ease in a living room, reading corner, or studio.

Does the Arba Lounge Chair come flat-packed and no-tool assembly? Yes — it’s delivered in a flat-pack box and can be assembled within minutes in a few easy steps. Created by Erwan Bouroullec in 2024, this chair reduces form to its most minimal components: two molded plywood shells for seat and back, a cross-like structure of bent metal profiles and a die-cast aluminum swivel base. The exposed spine provides the element’s dynamic in-motion quality, flexing lightly as you sit, while the plywood is shaped and positioned so precisely—there is no extra padding—that every contour meets a relaxed body just right. There is no hiding — what you get is exactly what you engage with, and the directness is part of its charm. The result is a chair that retains the character of an experimental prototype while feeling resolved and robust in everyday use, providing a light, architectural presence in any room.
