ome of the most sought-after “new” pieces of furniture were often designed decades ago — and have, with the designer’s family or studio, been re-imagined for life today. We’ve selected seven iconic chairs, tables and chests of drawers (mostly from the 1980s) which have been reincarnated, from a Hong-Kong-designed spiralling chest of drawers and a table padded in soft leather to a curved Philippe Starck chair with a curved plywood back.
Nyn chest of drawers
By Chi Wing Lo for Giorgetti
This corner chest of drawers in maple was designed by Chi Wing Lo in 1995. It was the start of a long and fruitful collaboration between the Hong Kong-born designer and the Brianza-based cabinet maker Giorgetti. When the doors and drawers are open, it really comes to life.
