Somehow both minimal and grand in scale, the lex was introduced by Artifort during the Milan Furniture Fair 2004.

“ergonomical and functional comfort make the lex armchair exceptional, a step above other armchairs. the frugality of its design and its minimalism provide the sofa with a timeless elegance. its clear lines and qualities speak for themselves. the goal in designing this sofa was to maintain a sleek visual shape that would be both distinct and timeless.”

These braille notebooks are made from reclaimed braille editions of Seventeen and Rolling Stone.

“Give your notebook some tactile intrigue with this lovely and unique volume. It’s the perfect size for slipping into a backpack or purse, and its braille cover makes it easy to find, even by touch.”

Each notebook is one-of-a-kind and hand-bound with your choice of blue, green or red thread.

This isn’t exactly a design classic, but there’s something really endearing about it. Perhaps it’s the reinterpretation of the 60’s view of modern furniture. It’s perfectly scaled and in a nice cotton/nylon blend.
