Maurício Arruda has designed a collection of storage pieces called José, inspired by residential Brazil and considering environmental impact. Each wooden structure holds crates instead of drawers, a nod to the markets of fruit, greens and vegetables in Brazil. The wood is FSC-certified finished with wax rather than solvent-based finishes, and the plastic bins are made from recycled plastic.

Apis is a stackable, three-legged stool designed by Alessandro Loschiavo , which will be shown in Milan from the 8th of April to the 16th of June 2010 at WhiteLabs (Via Tiraboschi 2, Milano). Inspired by the world of bugs and their sophisticated morphologic synthesis, Apis is made entirely in recyclable aluminium, it is particularly light and easy to carry, though with no abandonment of a solid and stable structure. The triangular plate seat, bent down at the apex and base of the triangle, rests on a tube frame via small rubber dampers and allows one to sit freely on the two opposite sides
