Now that we are well into the 21st century, it’s time to look beyond old staples like the Eames lounger
and Hans Wegner’s Wishbone chair. First on our handpicked list of 30 modern furniture icons is…
RABBIT CHAIR
We love this bunny- shaped seat as much as we adore cute cat videos on Youtube. Designed by Stefano Giovannoni for his online plastic furniture brand Qeeboo, the Rabbit Chair is available in a myriad of fun hues – it even comes in a Baby size.
Qeeboo Rabbit chair, from $238, Journey East.

HORSE LAMP
Is it any wonder that this lamp with a life-sized horse is recognised worldwide? An intriguing amalgam of art and furniture, it weighs 65kg and is designed by Swedish design studio Front as part of Moooi’s Animal collection in 2006.
Moooi Horse lamp, $7,630, Space Furniture.

PALETTE TABLE
Designer Jaime Hayon wanted to create a table that reflects its many uses (from dining to exchanging ideas), hence the different sizes, shapes and materials. Its unique look and style has made it a collector’s favourite.

COMPONIBILI SHELF
The round Componibili by Kartell is a well-loved storage solution that has made its way into offices, bedrooms and bathrooms. It is stackable, sleek and has a distinctive yet understated form that is easy to match.

RASKOG TROLLEY
Who says designer pieces have to come with a hefty price tag? This three-tiered utility cart from furniture giant Ikea is one of its most popular evergreen designs – it even has its own Pinterest board! Homeowners even started a petition to bring it back when talk of it being discontinued was circulated online. Phew!
Raskog trolley, $59, Ikea.

STRAP MIRROR
We’ve seen it countless times in homes featured in this magazine, but we still love this circular Strap mirror by Hay because of its simple yet distinctive rubber strap. Definitely a must-have designer collectible.
Hay Strap mirror, from $380, Grafunkt.

This console by local brand Commune combines Art Deco elements with the much-loved rustic tropical style. The herringbone- patterned tabletop is easily recognisable and adds just the right dose of hip.

HUSK ARMCHAIR
Let’s be honest: This Patricia Urquiola chair is an odd- looking thing. Yet, it manages to be sophisticated and comfortable at the same time. It’s a hot favourite because of its laid-back look.

LINE MEDIA UNIT
Nathan Yong’s Line louvred media console was an instant hit when it was unveiled at the Milan furniture fair in 2012. Since then, it has garnered universal acclaim among homeowners everywhere because of its cool yet functional design.

BERTOIA DIAMOND CHAIR
When it debuted in the 1950s, the Knoll Bertoia Diamond chair stood out from the sea of wood furniture — a staple at that time. Its thin steel frame was bent into a fluid silhouette, and its grid-like structure exudes a sense of lightness. It was designed by Harry Bertoia, who combined his skills as a sculptor with his knowledge on furniture to create this masterpiece.
