Under the careful direction of Stefano, in fact, different styles and characters get together, combined with a playfulnarrative approach and a careful figurative research. <strong>The</strong> internationally well-known designers have designed new iconic objects of great emotional expression, with a strong visual impact, through a common element: plastic. <strong>The</strong>y measured themselves through a material not usual and not common to use, studying the characteristics carefully and taking advantage of all its potential to give a shape to originals chairs, tables, lamps, vases and accessories. A potent mix of technologies and industrial techniques, along with aesthetics and invention that offer not only poetic, but funny and hybrid objects such as Rabbit and Mexico, that can be used, respectively, in a personal way as a seat or a lamp and as vase or stool or lamp. At the Milan Maison & Object 2018, under Stefano Giovannoni’s sign, the brand enlivened with new creations and a stand where the colours on the products’ silhouettes were leading roles. <strong>The</strong> coloured outlines of the big Kongs in their new colours and the Rabbit Velvet family with their intense and deep nuances were displayed on the front platform with a tremendous scenic impact. <strong>The</strong> new products take advantage of plastic’s properties: from the ‘XS’ Kong lamps to the velvet finish Rabbit Chairs up to the newest ‘MINI’ power bank family in the Rabbit, Killer, Mexico, and Flash versions. Rabbit Lamp XS Rabbit Lamp XS is a new symbol of love and fertility, a sweet and auspicious object. It comes with a rechargeable battery, colour changing LED light and is available in sixteen interchangeable colours and a remote. MINI Power Banks - Rabbit, Killer, Mexico, Flash <strong>The</strong>y’re Qeeboo’s success symbols. You can easily carry them in your bag, they become external batteries for your smartphone or any other device. <strong>The</strong>y come in an elegant rigid packaging which also includes a cord and an info leaflet. (Colours: light green, light grey, light blue and light pink). <strong>The</strong> Qeebo collection is available for pre-order at the XTRA Furniture showroom at <strong>The</strong> Gardens Mall. Qeeboo, Kong Lamp XS With its 53 cm height, the Kong XS is out of scale as a toy, out of size to be a lamp and out of size to be a gorilla. Kong is a unique object, and it can be free to roam in the most diverse settings. It isn’t scary anymore thanks to the eccentric ideas of its creator. (Colours: bright pink, violet, black, ivory, dark orange and light blue).
