This year has seen furniture designers addressing global topics and issues, from recycling to feminism. For our review of the year, design reporter Natashah Hitti picks out the top 10, including a vegan stool made from salt and chairs that encourage women to "manspread".

Delaktig bed by IKEA and Tom Dixon
IKEA has rolled out a number of eye-catching designs this year, from space-inspired micro-living products to a receipt rug designed by Virgil Abloh, but the most groundbreaking was its Delaktig bed created with Tom Dixon.
Described by Dixon as a "living platform", the modular bed was released alongside a series of "authorised hacks" – add-on elements that allow users to customise the furniture, including lamps, tables and furry fabric covers. Find out more about the Delaktig bed ›

Disco Gufram by Gufram
This year saw Italian brand Gufram release a collection of discotheque-inspired carpets and furniture at Milan design week, featuring a variety of round-edged shapes and patterns that recall the 1970s era.
Called Disco Gufram, the collection includes upholstered seating inspired by the studio's upholstered "disco seats" from the 1970s, a series of carpets with patterns that draw upon the geometry of dance floors, and a series of coffee tables and cabinets that feature melting disco balls.
