Drunken Side Table (2015) immediately stands out amidst the white-on-white collection of Lee Broom's 'TIME MACHINE 2007-2017'. The exhibition, set up at the historic Milan Centrale train station, marks the tenth anniversary show by the British designer and feature designs from his decade-long career, all reimagined in white. Presented on a revolving fairground carousel, each of the pieces are made in a special limited edition number of 10.

Altelier MO.BA.: Inspired by the harmonious confluence of opposing ideas, Atelier Mo.Ba. creates new, cutting-edge designs that are at once original and a nod back to tradition. The wooden coffee table blends earthy materials and fundamental shapes with a distinctly playful modern design.
