PROFORMItalia - Landi
There's no doubt that Swiss industrial designer Hans Coray is best known for the Landi chair, a 1938 icon that sits proudly among the holdings of New York's Museum of Modern Art and Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum. What's not so well known is that Coray later improved upon his design. In the 1950's, he created a prototype that, never produced, was then seemingly lost—at least until Proform Italia resurrected the plans to produce a faithful rendition.
The identical seat and back of ano dized aluminum are supported by a frame of stainless steel that's plated in zinc or chrome. (In either case, the metal is entirely recyclable.) The featherweight of the chair, about 6 to 8 pounds, allows it to stack easily for transport back and forth between indoors and out. Of course, theItalians have softened the original's Swiss austerity with indoor-only versions, too: Specify the frame in chromed steel and the seat and back in either leather or ebonized plywood. 39-521-235-5823; proformitalia.it. circle 432

Holly Hunt - Aspre
For those who prey on scrumptious furniture, Holly Hunt showrooms are places to bag big-game trophies. That's been true for a quarter century—a milestone that Holly Hunt and hundreds of her friends celebrated with a swank soiree in Chicago's Millennium Park during the most recent NeoCon World's Trade Fair. Simultaneously, Hunt unveiled her latest collection, featuring limited-edition collaborations with some of her longstanding partners. From 2008, Christian Liagre's Aspre walnut sofa and chair, and Padd daybed, with its leather upholstery, prove that evolution can sometimes lead right back to the beginning. 312-799-7589; hollyhunt.com. circle 423
