LAY THAT HAMMER DOWN
With Wallter Wall Art, arrange pieces into any pattern and paint them different colors to match a wall color as texture or to pop out in contrast. No hammer and nails or miscellaneous gluey accessories needed—the pieces stick to the wall directly. Note: Wallter Circles, Squares, Teardrops, and Rectangles are available only in primed white for custom painting.

OFFICE SHIFT
Functional, versatile, colorful, and mobile: The 9.2.5 Collection combines utility with aesthetic. Inspired by the open-plan characteristic of architect offices, Alberto Rivera designed this modular system for its ability to be easily rearranged— thanks to the casters (complete with brakes) on many of the pieces. The perfect solution for design firms big and small—move your office around depending on each project’s needs.
