STARCHITECTURE SEATING (previous page)
MYChair (third from left) by UNStudio’s Ben van Berkel has been reissued in every architect’s favourite colour. Part of Walter Knoll’s Black Series, MYChair’s concave and convex curves recall the classic modernist shell structures of the 1960s – in a sink-into-me lounge chair version.

WHAT A RELIEF
If only every view of the city looked this good. Interlübke’s Reef wardrobe is a modular unit that allows you to hide the stuff you don’t want to see behind doors – and display the stuff you do on the protruding ledges.

WE BUILT THIS CITY
Inspired by the metal components of workshop machinery, this lamp by Diesel with Foscarini looks like it was turned on a lathe. Made of cast rubber, metal and cement, this fixture wouldn’t be out of place in the city’s industrial parklands – but it’s scaled for the home.

CROSSING WIRES
The sight of haphazard streetcar cables in this city is a familiar one. Local firm 3rd Uncle celebrates this particular scene – an intersection in Roncesvalles – in a silk and wool rug.

ENTRY POINT
Jeremy Laing’s wrap dress was designed with an architecture student at the University of Waterloo. Based on a perspective drawing, it is cut from a single piece of fabric, with a vanishing point situated on the wearer’s hipbone.
