The furniture industry has a way of paying its respects to the iconic designers of the past through retro designs that mimic certain qualities. Finn Juhl was perhaps the founder of Danish furniture design and his Model 57 Sofa is as stylish today as it was more than 50 years ago when it debuted in Tivoli. The sculptural lines of this classic Danish Modern sofa are accented by brushed stainless steel legs with wooden toes, and have a completely different look from all angles.

Here a quite unusual furniture collection called Stardust, or "dust of stars", the first revolutionary product Mario Bellini signed for Meritalia. This is a new series of light padded pillows, ottoman, chaise lounge, armchairs, and sofas that use LED lights with a low power consumption / low voltage and high performance included within the individual pieces. The internal lighting of the Stardust turns them into real source of soft light which can vary throughout the range of colors. The idea was to use material similar to that used for package padding, a metallic mesh of thin steel wires for structure, and a transparent coating to create this ultra light weight collection that you can also take out back by the pool or patio. See the rest of Meritalia's "beyond the norm" furniture collection here.
