All designed by Vicente Soto.

This year, The new 2003 Cassina Collection presents Mabelle - dining chair designed by Patrick Jouin and three seats by Hannes Wettstein: Hola - in which the designer attention is fixed firmly on the design of the chair-back - Spin - armchair and its two foot-rests belong to the lounge chair family - and Thor - a mongrel type of seat that accentuates the contamination of the shapes and the ways of using it.

Designed by Stefano Gallizioli, the chaise-longue and the chairs with arms SB01 (both with PVC seat and back) e SB05 (with odum staves seat and back) are the proposals by Coro.

ClassiCon presents Mars - chair with a shell in synthetic resin and cover in fabric or leater designed by Konstantin Grcic.

In a new light and airy design, four new seats are created by Hannes Wettstein for Molteni & C: Sigma chaise-longue, Delta chair, Zeta armchair and Omicron bar stool. Again by Molteni & C, St. Germain - designed by Paola Navone, is a metal structured armchair covered with leather.

The Kartell Stand presents Mademoiselle - an innovative design for an armchair by Philippe Starck with the clever and new matching of two different plastic materials and finishes: the structure in transparent polycarbonate and the soft seat - and Spoon - slim, curved lines stool, designed by Antonio Citterio, with a handle, inside the leg, to regulate the mechanism of the gas pump. Thus the height of the stool can be raised but the clean line of the whole is preserved.

Modular collection Domodinamica introduces the definitive version of prototypes proposed last year: Kalla armchair designed by Stefano Giovannoni and Popi Pop armchair designed by Modular's Project Studio. All designed by Matali Crasset are also the chair Capuche, the armchair system Interface and Pouff & Supportal Mural - a range of very adaptable and coloured pouff.

De Padova presents Cirene 03 - chair, designed by Vico Magistretti, based on the Cirene, designed in 1999: the same wooden chassis is now supported by a structure in curved wood. This modifies and widens the usage possibilities of the chair.

Tokujin Yoshioka has designed for Driade Tokyo-Soft - polyethylene and cotton wool armchair.
