Heller
	The Calla chair, designed by William Sawaya, is no demure lily. This striking polypropylene chair is appropriate for inside and out in commercial or residential settings. 41 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10010; 212-685-4200. www.helleronline.com

Linea
	Tokyo Pop is a line of seats-an armchair, divan, dormeuse, and table stool among them-each made of a single block of polyethylene. These sculptural pieces are available in ivory, gray-green, or orange, and in a wool-upholstered version in mustard, orange, red, burgundy, or blue. 8845 Beverly Hills Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90048; 310-273-5425. www.linea-inc.com

Archit-X
	Before debuting the visually arresting Dromos chair in cast aluminum, this Brooklyn-based company created the Orbit chair, whose sensuous organic design supposedly predates the strikingly similar Go chair by Ross Lovegrove. Sounds like a design catfight! 838 President Street, 1B, Brooklyn, NY 11215; 718-399-6940. www.archit-x.net

Vitra
	Philippe Starck's Hula Hoop has no visible mechanical parts to detract from its seductive design. The polypropylene seat twists, turns, and gently rocks on a five-point aluminum base with matching casters. New color options include dark gray, violet, yellow, and orange. 149 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10010; 212-539-1900. www.vitra.com

Brueton
	Designed by Stanley Jay Friedman, the Zag chair has a dramatically carved seat and a rectilinear steel frame. It is available with or without arms and in a variety of finishes and upholstery options. 145-68 228th Street, Springfield Gardens, NY 11413; 718-527-3000. www.brueton.com

Giorgetti
	The Multiplo sofa with steel base is available as a sectional or a monolithic unit. A variety of upholstery fabrics and leathers is offered. The Glenpointe Centre East, 300 F.W. Burr Boulevard, Teaneck, NJ 07666; 888-836-9100. www.giorgetti-spa.com

Arte
	This simple seat reminds us of the pleasures of a sunny day on the porch or sitting with your best friends in the school cafeteria. The Metropolitana comes with or without arms in a choice of finishes. Larosa Design, 1906 East Missouri Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85016; 602-274-4929. www.artechairs.com

Sawaya & Moroni
	Virtuoso Zaha Hadid brings her dramatic architectural style to furniture. Z-Play is a puzzle that can be fashioned into many seating options. The unit is a square block of high-density foam cut diagonally into interlocking pieces. Via Andegari, 18-20121 Milan, Italy; 39-02-86395. www.sawayamoroni.com

Keilhauer
	Scot Laughton designed the Fossa series, a line of contemporary lounge seating that includes benches, ottomans, and coordinated tables. Round edges and steel legs keep these substantial pieces from looking too blocky. 1450 Birchmount Road; Toronto, Ontario M1P 2E3, Canada; 800-724-5665. www.keilhauer.com
