From stackable tables and bold side furniture to heritage-inspired office pieces and tactile textiles, the latest additions to Dezeen Showroom present a vibrant mix of utility, craft, and experimentation. Highlighting new directions in furniture and design, this curated selection includes multifunctional wooden pieces from Swedish brand Skewed, alongside products influenced by traditional weaving, British subcultures, and sportswear ergonomics.
Everything Series One by Skewed: Minimal assembly, maximum flexibility
Leading the latest round of featured designs is Everything Series One, the debut furniture collection by Swedish brand Skewed. Centered around a multipurpose table, the collection embodies simplicity, durability, and versatility. Made from solid ash or MDF, each piece is held together with just four screws, connecting CNC-milled legs to a circular tabletop.
This seemingly minimal construction belies the functionality of the design. Available in various sizes, the Everything Series One tables can serve as compact dining surfaces, side tables, stools, or display plinths—responding fluidly to shifting interior needs. The clean geometry and tool-free assembly emphasize both modern efficiency and a sustainable mindset, as the tables can be disassembled or repurposed with ease.
Skewed’s approach aligns with a growing movement in contemporary design that values adaptability and intentional material use. With this launch, the brand stakes its place in the evolving dialogue between function, sustainability, and aesthetics.
Taso tray table by Cecilie Manz: Quiet mobility
Finnish brand Nikari continues its legacy of refined woodworking with the Taso tray table, designed by Cecilie Manz. Evoking the quiet elegance of Scandinavian design, the pieces blend functionality with a subdued material palette. Constructed from oak or ash, the trolley-like tables feature one or two deep trays supported by a lightweight wooden frame.
The intention behind Taso is mobility without visual clutter. Easily moved between rooms, the trays are ideal for holding daily essentials—from books to beverages—making the table a discrete but indispensable companion in both minimalist and dynamic home environments. Manz’s design reflects a broader trend toward flexible furniture that can be repositioned based on daily routines, while maintaining the crafted, tactile quality that defines Nikari’s work.
Teddy tables by Zenith: Midcentury meets modern office
Australian brand Zenith delves into cultural nostalgia with Teddy, a range of worktables inspired by the flamboyant fashion of 1950s British Teddy Boys. Known for their sharp tailoring and bold colors, the subculture lends its aesthetic codes to a contemporary office context.
Structured lines and assertive forms define the collection, while color options add a sense of personal expression often lacking in corporate furniture. The Teddy range offers both functionality and flair, suggesting that even the workplace deserves a little drama.
With the blending of retro influence and modern needs, Teddy reflects a growing interest in making workplaces more human, personalized, and expressive—a welcome shift from the sterile minimalism of earlier eras.
Letsweave tables by LyZadie Design Studio: Honoring craft and culture
Based in New Zealand, LyZadie Design Studio draws from indigenous Māori heritage to create the Letsweave collection—a family of tables that references traditional weaving techniques. The collection showcases a rich narrative of craft, identity, and environmental consciousness.
The standout feature of the Letsweave tables is the decorative inlay work on the surfaces, created from reclaimed kauri and rimu wood. These native timbers, arranged in weaving-like patterns, form a striking contrast against contemporary table forms, bringing traditional craftsmanship into a modern context. By connecting past and present, Letsweave emphasizes design as a storytelling medium, where furniture becomes both functional object and cultural artifact.
Mosaic fabric by Kapitza for Designtex: A celebration of pattern
Moving into the world of textiles, the Mosaic fabric by Kapitza for Designtex introduces a vibrant, geometric visual language to interior surfaces. Created by the London-based design studio Kapitza, the pattern mimics traditional mosaic techniques—where fractured tiles are rearranged into coherent, colorful forms.
The faceted design adds energy to walls, partitions, or upholstered furniture, offering a dynamic contrast to more neutral architectural elements. With its abstract, playful quality, Mosaic brings a visual rhythm that enlivens both contract and residential spaces. It exemplifies how textiles can be more than background décor, instead acting as central visual components within an interior environment.
Remode task chair by Ben van Berkel: Office seating reimagined
Designed by architect Ben van Berkel, founder of UNStudio, the Remode task chair represents a convergence of ergonomics, aesthetics, and sustainability. Developed for Dutch brand Ahrend, the chair takes cues from athletic footwear—balancing support, performance, and comfort.
The backrest and seat offer adaptive flexibility, ensuring comfort during long work sessions, while the material choices prioritize environmental responsibility. Available in three contemporary colorways, Remode fits easily into both home and office settings. As hybrid work environments become the norm, seating like Remode offers a compelling solution that feels more like high-performance gear than typical office furniture.
Cubio side table by Formarkivet: Sculptural simplicity
The Cubio side table from Danish brand Formarkivet takes boldness to a compact format. With thick cylindrical legs and a robust top, the piece projects confidence and durability. Crafted from aluminium, it is available in a raw metal finish or a soft beige powder coat, allowing for different aesthetic tones.
Its sculptural silhouette adds a moment of visual weight to interiors, making it a strong anchor point in more minimalist environments. Cubio embodies the principle that small furniture can still carry big personality.
Kooky Streaker by YSG: Playful hardware for expressive interiors
Rounding out the collection is the Kooky Streaker door lever, designed by Australian studio YSG for Bankston Architectural. Characterized by its two-tone wooden composition and striped finish, the lever is part of a broader collection that injects color and whimsy into hardware.
More than just a functional object, Kooky Streaker serves as a visual accent, designed to transform doors into moments of artistic punctuation within a space. It underscores the growing importance of thoughtful detail—even in the smallest elements of design.
The latest drop from Dezeen Showroom demonstrates how contemporary furniture and interiors continue to evolve in response to cultural, environmental, and technological influences. From multifunctional minimalism to designs deeply rooted in heritage and narrative, these eight products reflect a growing desire for objects that are not only practical, but expressive and meaningful. Whether it’s a side table made from reclaimed timber, a fabric inspired by mosaics, or a chair modeled after sneakers, each piece brings something fresh to the conversation—proving that design, at its best, serves both purpose and poetry.
