The quirky Gisa revolving armchair from Leolux is fascinating whichever way you look at it; standing on a revolving chair base, it can rotate 360 degrees! Designed in 2005 by Jane Worthington, the compact Gisa armchair is inspired by the soft forms of nature. Like a swan, Gisa has a neck that turns and bends into many positions. Serving as a backrest, the chair’s ‘neck’ is an unusual and eye-catching innovation. The uncanny curves of the armchair were first moulded from one piece of material into a unified, organic shape. This shape is now faithfully reproduced using the best technology into leather and upholstered Gisa chairs, in many textures and hues. Nominated for the Interior Innovation Award Cologne 2006, the Gisa revolving armchair from Leolux is an iconic, unforgettable piece of furniture with a distinctly practical application.

Cleverly contained within smart glass steam shower units, the new Body & Soul steam shower is from Artweger. Function and form are teamed together to bring a comfortable and totally modern steam shower experience.

That’s why Artweger have given special consideration to this matter, and offer a padded seat with a mechanism to ensure a ‘soft landing’. The shower unit seats are available in two variants - single seat with a backrest or a 2-person bench with continuous backrest for those who like to share the experience. The modern units are now available in three contemporary colors - sand, anthracite and Bordeaux. Contact Austrian firm Artweger to find out more about their Body & Soul steam shower units.

The surface of the Corian basin, available with a left or right hand bowl, is polished and glossy.
