Next month, the Italian fashion house Marni will show its new line, 100 Chairs, at the Salone del Mobile in Milan, Italy. The line plays heavily on backyard nostalgia by blending the vintage woven plastic aesthetic with more modern framing. 100 Chairs includes chaise-lounges, rocking chairs, tables, and dining chairs. The chairs are also responsibly manufactured: all plastic materials are recycled and, as with last year's line, all the chairs were built by a company that employs newly released Colombian prisoners as part of a rehabilitation program. The Salone del Mobile runs April 9–14, 2013.
