SHAPE OF THINGS

Curves make way for pentagons and rectangles in Dambo, the modular sofa system by Piero Lissoni for B&B Italia. ‘Pentagonal’ isn’t a shape you’d normally associate with seating, sure –but the geometric base of this design, combined with its high back and petal-like adjustable arms, make for an intriguingly proportioned piece that feels light and versatile, angular yet cosy.

Astrid pendant, £204, David Hunt Lighting
