All pieces selected for ‘Revolutionary Icons’ are innovative in terms of concept, imagery, use of materials and production process. By their novelty, these products are set to become icons of design and contemporary production, over time 

​Discover a wish list of cult pieces that manage to embellish any environment. Evergreen style icons that have rewritten the way of living and special reeditions that never go out of fashion, becoming myths.

Bringing a piece of contemporary design history into one’s home is always a great investment: today to live with it, tomorrow to pass it down
