What can be cosier than telling heroic tales around the Qrater camp fire dish with a drink in your hand? What we did experience, is that a drink often gets tipped over when you put it on the floor when you don’t have a table around.

To enhance the storytelling atmosphere even more, extremis has opted for the comfort of a true horse saddle. You can put your drink perfectly in the middle of the stool. A leather strap relates even more to the saddle and also is the perfect handle to move or carry the stool. Moreover, it protects your drink from tipping over.

The horse saddle shape also promotes an active and straight-up seating position which is good for your spine. Not a luxury though, Qrater nights can be long…

Bronco’s triangular shape, which is a result of the designer’s choice for the horse saddle shape, inspired into forming a circle by putting 7 Broncos together (we also thought about that single person). So a fitting table was also created. The lighted Corral table has deliberately been designed as a low table (60 cm). It is meant to be sat around, and not under.

Moreover, a Corral without its foot can be suspended upside down above a Corral table and reflects what’s going on on the floor. This variant is appropriately called C’upsidedown. Best effects are obtained in dark environments.

Bronco, Corral and C’upsidedown were designed by Dirk Wynants.

I Do Design, and their gorgeous Union Benches… i showed you their Outdoor Union Bench and renderings of the indoor one previously, you remember, the gorgeously sleek concrete/wood outdoor benches that were shaped like three hemispheres molded together? Well Salone time is upon us, and they’ve shared the two new glossy red and black indoor versions (perfect for lounges, clubs, waiting areas) and a DESK! which looks like a very fun place to work closely together yet still have quite a bit of your own space to take over! I’m very tempted by both.
