The Toffoli collection of lighting and furniture by UBS Design combines a European mid-century design praxis with elements of American industrial steel.

The sofa and table are made from powder coated steel and the lamps are made from mirror polished stainless steel. The design onf the lighting references the ancient Japanese craft of urushi lacquerware. Made by hand, each shade consists of approximately 50 separate pieces.

The pieces are fabricated in Osaka, Japan by Miyakekogei, who have worked closely with UBS Design to refine the designs.
