Designers including Adam Nathaniel Furman, Richard Hutten and Paola Navone have created seven laminated furniture designs for Italian brand De Rosso that reimagine both archival pieces and previously unpublished works.
The limited collection saw De Rosso task five designers with reinterpreting objects from the company's archive, or updating pieces that already existed but hadn't been published up until now.
Joining Furman, Hutten and Navone is Italian artist Ugo Nespolo and French designer Martine Bedin, who was a founding member of the Memphis Group in the 1980s.
Each of the designs have been brought to life as renders before they are produced as one-off pieces.

Together, the five creatives designed a bookcase, two chairs, two tables and two sideboards, each reflecting the personal style of their creator, but united by the same "exuberant use of colour". This is in keeping with De Rosso's design language, which the company describes as a crossover of pop art, the Alchimia movement and the Memphis movement.
"The main aim was to celebrate the heritage and flair of the company while also adding the right design and designers to blend and continue it in the future," said company consultant Massimo De Conti.
