Inside Out Contracts has been showcasing top commercial furniture picks from Salone Del Mobile, Milan, this summer. Their van from Milan has been touring the top talent in commercial interior design, architects and venues to enable designers and venue owners to test and discover the latest samples, with a much needed glass of bubbles!

Whilst September is the final month of the Inside Out Van from Milan, August has been a whirlwind of fun and excitement for all involved. However, what we want to know is, which are the pieces that everyone is talking about? To answer that question we have 4 highlights to share with you.

Highlight | Raquette Lounge Chair

A firm favourite has been the Raquette Lounge Chair which pays homage to the ancient technique of intertwining wooden slats. Inspiration has been taken from the world of tennis through the arms of the chair, which resemble racquet strings by virtue of their textured lattice work within the frame. The Raquette lounge chairs’ frame itself joins the two main parts: the wooden structure of the arms with the soft, organic cushioning from the seat and back. The two combine in perfect harmony to ensure exquisite design and contemporary comfort.

The below image shows the Raquette Lounge chair being tested by designers at Brady Williams and Work Clockwise.

Highlight | The Scallop Lounge Chair

The scallop lounge chair is inspired by nature and is characterised by a softly and generously padded rounded silhouette back and seat, which is reminiscent of a seashell. This gives optimum back support and offers maximum comfort. It’s no wonder that it has been fully tested and admired by many.

The below picture shows designers from Tala Fustok and Tigg & Coll enjoying the scallop lounge chair with a glass of bubbles.

Highlight | Contessa Lounge Chair

The Contessa lounge chair grabs attention wherever it goes. Italian designed and made the Contessa Lounge chair captures a retro-inspired design that is accentuated by the metal backrest detail. Feast your eyes on a ravishing and bold silhouette. The Contessa lounge chair offers unparalleled comfort thanks to its deep padding. This chair is soft and supple to touch and allows you to sink into the clutches of its plush padded seat, providing comfort and style. There are a wide variety of metal powder-coated finishes and any fabric of your choice to suit your interior scheme.

Highlight | Curious Concepts
