I saw the work of Spanish designer Tomas Alonso for the first time only a couple of weeks back and the attraction was instant.  I’m thinking it’s a nomad thing.  I’ve always had a taste for light, slinky, sensational looking furniture that feels like you could rearrange the whole room (or better relocated the entire contents) single-handed.  And Alonso delivers in spades.  

The ultra minimalist yet quirky 5 degree series is especially slim and gorgeous. The range includes a billiard green table top resting on the simplest timber trestles bound with a sweet little red cord.  Best accompanied perhaps by the 5 degree collapsible stool – regular or DNA edition with a special hand-turned timber leg. Similarly slight and just as adaptable is Mr. Light - a series of lights designed around the new LED T8 fluorescent tubes.
